I think about this all the time, Sorors. My mother is a Zeta, (active member for 48 years).Growing up all I knew was ZPB,when I told her I wanted to be an AKA she replied that we all had to be what we wanted. She did ask why and we talked about it at length. My mom never tried to convince me to change my mind, if she had perhaps .........
My favorite niece, whom I have groomed for AKA decided to pledge ZPB last year. Lawd, was I hurt. She told me about the AKA chapter on her campus and how she didn't see herself fitting in, well deja vue. I told her we all have to be what we want too. (My Moms words coming back to haunt me)
I'm keeping legacy articles and photos to share with my daughter. I know she'll make her own decision but I'm going to be hoping and praying she chooses AKA. Happy Thanksgiving.
