I would just like to say that the loss of my soror touched me so deeply I feel it necessary
to honor her with my pledge story.
I attend a HWU and I also attended a majority white high school so I'm almost used to
racism. Anyway when I first came to college I didn't know anything about BGLO's. But
whenever some one asked me what I wanted to pledge I would say AKA or Delta because
that was what every one else was saying and I didn't want it to seem like I was ignorant of greekdom. But when I researched all four sororities on the net and I found I identified the most with the
founders of Sigma Gamma Rho. Growing up in the rual south I've been called every thing
from the N word to a coon. So I knew what these ladies must have went through when
they founded us. I didn't let the fact that SGRho was smallest taint my decision either. All
the sororities on the yard were small (except Zeta Phi Beta they were the largest with
about 35) (Alpha Kappa Alpha second with 6 Alpha Kappa Alpha Delta Sigma Theta third
with 5 and SGRHo 4th with 3). No lie!!!
I guess my childhood has enabled me to look over what is said on boards about my
organization. Because being hated after you pledge in no way compares to being hated
before you were born. So I can take any stereotype dished and any put down they give because why should I get mad if I don't fall into that stereotypical image. I just laugh it off because if I cared about what people said I wouldn't be apart of any sorority especially on my yard.

To my sorors stay strong and blue-tiful and everything else will fall into place.

Yours Blue-ly
The Rhotorious K.I.M.
