Lastly, why is that someone cannot disagree with an issue-the use of another orgs symbols-without being cosidered conservative and against gays? How liberal is that? [/B]

I know I said that my last post was my last, but I felt compelled to respond to this one. Regarding our motto, as I stated in my last post, our motto has always been "Reaching the world through service to our kind," but we've always used the shorter "service to our kind." So, we haven't really changed anything. As far as the symbols, when AKA or any organization gains the ability to copyright the use of the ivy, or the pearl, or a dove, etc., then we can talk.
As I stated, also in my last post, this is not about sexual orientation for me. If anyone on this forum or anywhere else in life has a problem with my sexual orientation, then that's their problem. I don't have a problem with it. You can debate it, call me names, tell me how I'm going to hell, etc, till the cows come home, it won't change the facts of my orientation. Secondly, Delta Phi Upsilon does not use Alpha Kappa Alpha's symbols.We use universal symbols that happen to also be used by Alpha Kappa Alpha. I understand that as humans we can all read the same thing, yet each get a different message from it (kinda like the Bible - but that's a whole different topic, which I am NOT trying to start), but I urge you all to read very carefully the words of my postings. To all the women of AKA and other orgs, who have sent private emails of support, thank you.
Ok, hopefully, this will be my last post. LOL.
