I just want to get the point across that when you are seeking something big, one mistake really can doom you. If you go for a $500,000 a year job interview and say one wrong thing, there is a good chance that you will not get the job. Alpha Kappa Alpha is much the same. WE ARE NOT HURTING FOR MEMBERSHIP, and whether or not anyone else EVER becomes a member, I will always be an AKA (Sorors, do you hear me?)! Sisterfriends, the less you say and the less you ask, the less chance you have of saying something wrong. Just like you would do your research before going for that $500,000 a year job interview (and I doubt that you would inundate the CEO with questions that could easily be found on the company web page), you must research Alpha Kappa Alpha. I made line my freshman year in college. I was 17 years old and I was one of 17 out of 100+ who submitted. I had to be on point, and I knew it. I am sure that if I asked my campus Sorors as many questions as some of you do, I would have said something wrong too. At that point I would have been one of the 80+ who is still seeking membership TO THIS DAY. Ladies, I am not trying to be mean, and most of you know that I rarely post unless the topic is light in nature, but I will not stand by while some of you come in MY house and act like it is owed to you, and we should forgive your mistakes (over and over again)and be nice about it while you treat us like...let me calm down. Remember, we don't have to because YOU are seeking what we already have.
Sorry for the long post!
