on page two in the post made by AKA_Monet
you asked the following questions of Mr. Trevor Charles, Executive Director of Delta Phi Upsilon, Inc.
i may be wrong but in asking him to justify or devulge the meanings of the symbols, motto, and sheild that he holds dearly and is sacred to his fraternity. would this be much like myself inquiring about your esteemed sororities "business" as well? wouldn't that be very disrespectful on my part or in fact anyone's part?

My intent was not for Mr. Charles to divulge his ritualistic information to me or any of my sorors. It was to make the point that my symbols mean something I hold near and dear to my heart based on work done by African American women over 90 years ago. What I wanted to point out, but I may have ineffectively explained myself, it how can these similar symbols have the impact you are trying to make the community that you serve... I do not need to know that answer, I was raising the question for folks to think about. Besides, just my me stating the relevance of my symbols for my Sorority and what my Founders implemented, give some interested women a big hint on what Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. is really about when you think about it... In fact, some of my sorors my flame me for divulging too much of my Sorority's information...
