1. Did you decide upon your organization of choice PRIOR to visiting GC?

Yes. It was after I decided that I began to research Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated and I found this site.

2. Would you let the views or beliefs of one sway your interest to another organization?

No. I am a leader...definitely not a follower.

3. Would you let the tactics of another (member or non-member) sway your decision to become a member of an organization you really had no interest in?

No. I am a leader...definitely not a follower.

4. Do you think that you would be offended if someone came to you so that you could become a member of their organization when you have clearly decided that you want to become a member of another organization?

I would not be offended b/c the other individual would have no way of knowing that I am interested in Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated. However, I would have to inform her that
I am not interested in her organization.


5. What does the notion that someone would try to deliberately sway your intent say about that person?

Honestly, I would be flattered that someone saw such quality in me. I would admire her persistence, but have to more aggressively restate that I am not interested.


6. Would you find fault with the organization as a whole or only the person?

With the individual.

7. What does that say, if anything about the person who tries to get you to follow her into her organization when that isn't really what you want to do?

It says that she most likely does not understand the true meaning of membership and the lifelong commitment associated with it.


8. Ultimately, what kind of person would you be to succumb and follow when you know that isn't what you want to do?

I could never succumb to something like this. However, if someone else were to fall into that trap, I would say that she was not truthful with herself and was complacent with "just belonging" instead of making a decision and following it through.


9. Could you look yourself in the mirror?

As I stated before, I would never succumb to such a thing. But a person who makes a decision like that would most likely be able to do so. People who join orgs on whim or b/c they were pressured by friends, are followers who just want to belong. So, ultimately, when they look in the mirror they are probably satisfied with what they see.


10. What does that say (if it says anything) about your integrity?

I don't think my integrity is at question here . However, the lady who joined should look deeper when she is in front of that mirror to determine what she sees in her own reflection.
