Ms. Reiki--
The issue about vocal interests being chosen versus not has more to do with leadership abilities than talking out of turn. Leadership comes in many forms. Just because you are a hater in some respects does not mean that my Sorors do not have talents that are strongly utilized in the organization... It was probably those outstanding qualities that made a Soror of mine including the absolute minumum requirements: GPA and units.
There is also the issue of "diamonds in the rough". Maybe you lack that kind of luster, but I know many interests that shine. It is the "way" she carries herself publically. For all I know, the lady may be "closeted freaky", but if she exudes confidence, respectable demeanor and leadership in crises, then all of that can be forgiven. If you doubt it, then why is the former NYC Mayor Guiliani been lauded after 9-11??? Dude left his wife for another woman!!! It is just best to stay outta of grown folks bi'nuss...
So, it ain't about membership restrictions on trivial pursuits... Background checks are done... Just like I stated on another forum, chit gets around... We can figure out who you are and we do often compare notes with other GLO's... Don't sleep on us...
I cannot tell you how I have come to find out about folks through the web... I know when some folks intakes are and who is on line at what school... THAT is why we ask folks to be discrete. Lay low. Wait, you NEVER know...
As for
I ain't never said such a thing and it would behoove you get your fact skrait before rollin' in upon my Sorors accusing them of activities they did not commit...
But I will comment on your lack of comprehension since you want not to be like my Soror Ideal08 said, "think outside of the box": folks bounce out, some stuff can get hectic. Life is hard sometimes. Maybe you have been oh so blessed to have a perfect life, but some folks don't have it like that and come up on hard times... Some folks become disenfranchised. They joined in something they weren't prepared for and life just put stones in the road... Who knows. But for whatever reason, we live in America and we have right to change our mind no matter what consequences ensue. Not everything can be laid out neatly all the time... That is the process of maturity. That is why folks get old with gray hairs. I dunno...
Haters have no baring on who is in our organizations or not. So they don't make our worlds turn. Life circumstances may, but haters don't. And if a hater rolls up into my Sorority claiming we did this, that or the other before a Rush, after the investigations as painful as they are, I know for a fact my Sorority will prosecute a hater and they will never become a member... That has happened and there will be a lawsuit against a hater soon on my coast... So don't every think that if you speak foully about my Sorority or any other that you won't be marked for automatic exclusion... 'Cuz my best friend is a part of another BGLO sorority and just asked me about a woman and how she hated on BGLOs while in college... YES, this is a grad/alumni chapter. YES, we do compare notes, often...
This is my $1908 cents worth.

Perhaps there was a misunderstanding, in both directions. I have never applied to Alpha Kappa Alpha...and I am not sure if you were calling me a "hater" or not, so I will not wrongly presume so, though if you were, you are far from right. I'm even more not sure where you are coming from with all the other comments you made, and I don't mean that to be facetious either since as I stated I have NEVER applied to Alpha Kappa Alpha. If you would like to know who I am...I will gladly send you a private e-mail. That is not an issue for me. I haven't accused your sorors of anything on this board yet. I responded to your comment and offered my opinion on why some people may "bounce" or not stick around... i.e. quality of membership. That was not an accusation of any sort, that was my analysis of the situation as presented in subsequent posts leading up to yours. "Think outside of the box"? I am not sure exactly what "box" you feel I've placed myself in, but I commented solely on the situation(s) presented in this thread...nothing more...I believe this thread began as "I don't want to be an ABC anymore" and some people listed reasons why some members bounced, so the other things you mentioned...I wouldn't know about since I am not an AKA intrestee. Perhaps then I should not post here, since it doesn't seem that freethinkers are welcome...
Peace.
