My folks said that I can "go" anyway I wanted to, but they are only payin' for "ONE"...
Then, I really wasn't interested in any other organization because there were only 2 at my school, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. and Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. Although, I had numerous Delta friends, I will always cherish the fact that I chose to go the AKA-way.
Moreover, I'm a huge legacy and during family gatherings, I would've caught HELL if I decided to "go" another way... NO, it's not like I couldn't stand up to the potential "pressure" for makin' my own decisions--It's more like I enjoyed becoming a part of my "PHAMILY'S" traditions... My Great-grand parents, grandparents AND parents worked too hard so I could enjoy the fruits of their labor. It's called HERITAGE... And, why blast it all away for a brief encounter during college when we are suppose to be making a "lifetime" commitment?
Now, it's my turn to help future generations prosper and maintaining the "conservative" sustaining traditions held so dear to my phamily... Why do you think the Rockafellers, Duponts and Kennedys will always be at the top??? It's time that we, black folk start fostering our "phamily" treasure...
(sorry for the length--got alot on my mind)
