No sweat.
Just so you know, to use myself and my NPHC sorority as an example, I love Delta but I do not love talking about Delta to aspirants. I actually do not talk about Delta to collegiate and alumnae aspirants. Most aspirants have done zero research and are asking the most basic questions that they could find out if they attended local programs or read a website. That gets annoying. Aspirants need to catch up with Delta and not the other way around. Once they catch up with Delta, I am more than happy to talk to them because it is no longer about me having to school them. What I typically say is a very general comment: "
In addition to attending programs and conducting your own research, if you have not already done so, I encourage you to find out whether you have friends, family, acquaintances, friends of family members, family members of friends, K-12 teachers or college professors, church members, etc. who are Deltas. Most Blacks/African-Americans do."
