First I must commend the soror who startedt his thread b/c often times prospects don't have a true understanding for the work of Delta.

I was first introducted to the organization my freshman year in high school. I joined Delta TAAS (now GEMS) and got the opportunity to watch a unique group of woman in all shapes, complexions, sizes, and from all walks of life work together. I met these women at a time when I had really low self-esteem and didn't know what it meant to love myself and they nurtured and showed me to love me for who I was. As grew in the organizaiton and became a debutante I noticed that, no, they didn't always agree and they were very opinionate, but when it was all said and done they were able to compromise and come to a mutual agreement to accomplish the work of Delta.

When I decided that I wanted to be apart of a sorority I did my research. I checked out the websites, read the books, and talked to members of local chapters. What I found was an organization that stood firm on the morals and values of their founders. When they saw a need for change they stepped up to the plate and did what needed to be done. I was intrigued at how diligently they worked to make a difference in the lives of others because they realized that it was about more than just saying you're a member.

As a member of this great sisterhood I pledged to give Delta all my love, dedication, time, MONEY, and talents to help better the community. I've enjoyed the work I've done so far, but I'm especially looking forward to the work that I have yet to do.
