Well, I'd really like to meet those Muslim sorors you know. It is obvious that I'm Muslim and I guess when people in my immediate Muslim community - the one on campus - found out I pledged some were probably just confused- well I really don't know how all of them really feel. Some people don't view sororities and fraternities as a positive thing at all. Some people I think, believe it is some sort of cult. they think the secrecy is evil or something. I simply explain that its secret cuz its non of your business or concern. But most of them don't understand the least bit about being greek. One sister who I was really cool with before just gets colder to me as the time passes. Some have a problem with us being out on the yard fridays doing our songs- I'm pretty... and all the rest. Two said its not modest. It ain't easy that's for sure. Not everyone understands. But, my biggest issue is within my chapter. like Monet said, I really should not just sit disturbed while everyone is prayed for but me. it is my sorority too. Luckily, I do have one friend here who is Muslim and greek, but belongs to another sorority. she has had her problems. Allah knows, it aint easy. AKA aint easy and being Muslim aint easy either. But I don't want to live without either one. Leaders never have it easy.
