When we joined our beloved sisterhood or brotherhood, we should have done it for the right reasonsin the first place. I would not willingly turn my back on a soror, however, if I was in a position to speak to her regarding a behavior that was determental to her and the sorority, I would. As for turning your back on a member that is not fiancial that is out of the head thinking. You have no idea what is going on in that person's life. Instead of looking down your nose, dig in your pocket and offer to pay some of his or her dues. Personally, I was very active in undergrad however, life changed several years after graduation. Being a single parent with two children can put a dent in anyones pocketbook. However, I still upheld the tenets of Delta, participating on the community council of my son's day care center, working with delinquent youth and helping to turn their lives around. Isn't that what our founders wanted? Then there is the matter of time. Would your rather have a soror who is fiancial, but doesn't have time to fully particpate in chapter activities or one who says. I will become fully active when I can fully comitt to my local chapter. Truefully, I'd rather have a soror who is honest about what she can comitt to at the time. Let's not be so short sighted that we make our sisters and brothers feel unwanted and shuned because of $$$$ And that's my 22 cents
