Interesting Soror,
When I first crossed in to AKA land I decided that I would not behave like some of the greeks I had come in contact with before becoming a member......
My perspective has changed as a soror.... I agree- we do have to protect ourselves. The last thing I want is for some crazyyyyyyyyyyyy sf to call nationals and say I said or did something to her- which would be totally untrue because I would NEVER do anything to lose my pearls. I have heard stories of interest lying on my sorors. As you can tell by the Innocence22 post- not all sf are cool to interact with.
Of course I am a woman PHRIST AND FOREMOST. I do my BEST to treat everyone with respect. Unfortunately, I have found that I have to keep my distance for those reasons. It also annoys me when interest think I am going to hand over private AKA information to them. I will answer a general question but I feel most information THEY need to know can be found by doing research. I never once asked a question of any soror on this forum before becoming one myself. If I did not feel comfortable enough to ask the sorors I already knew- I did not ask.... I figured that I would know all I need to know when it is was time.
Of course I understand the level of patience, persistence, and dedication once must have when pursing my sorority. I have only been a member for a little over 9 months. But as they say- patience is a virtue. I am not dissing the sf on this forum or any forum. I have been where you are and I know what it feels like. I am pretty sure that most sf on this forum are cool. But you really do not know who you are dealing with- especially on a public forum such as this one.
I understand why things are the way they are and why sorors behave the way they do. We have to protect ourselves. Lastly, no sf has ever e-mailed me to ask me a question about membership. Maybe because I hardly post on this forum or because I am not inviting. Whatever the reason-OH Well! I got my pearls.
