Let me first start by introducing myself and saying hello...this is my first post ;-)...
Honestly, the reason why I first wanted to be a Delta was because of my influences. Although none of the women in my family are greek, I have been blessed to come into contact with some great women of who just so happend to be Deltas. At first, I didn't really know what a Delta was, all I knew was that I wanted to be like the women that had such a positive effect on my life and when they spoke so highly of their sorority I decided I wanted to be apart of greatness too.
When I entered high school my greek knowledge grew and learned of the Divine Nine. Even though I thought was pretty much set on what I wanted to do, I researched the AKAs, Zetas and SGRhos to read up on their history and see what their principles are. That's when I do that there was NO OTHER thing for me. DST have great history and I love the idea of the five-point programmatic thrust.
Also, like the poem says, it really is "just in my heart!" I feel like there is ever burning flame inside of me that has a genuine love and passion for what DST is and what it stands for...and I also feel as though I could one of the few who could carry on the torch.
Replying to the "why would Delta be attracted you?" question...
As a college student, it is very important for me to establish myself as an individual. I am currently a freshman, and in my short time in college I have made a great name for myself. I have completed over 100 hours of community/university service, maintained a 3.0+ GPA (gotta keep HOPE alive lol), I am apart of 4 organizations (two of which I am on the exec board *the ONLY freshman* ;-), gone to various leadership conferences and symposiums, and I am also a poet and I perform my works with the campus groups at different venues...Although I am very active now, I do understand that it will be difficult to do all this if/when I become apart of the sisterhood so I am prepared to cut back on somethings to make room for sorority business if need be
All in all, I must say that I hit my first year hard and I plan on giving my same time, dedication, and talent to DST.
