I didn't think that this would be considered offensive, since I did say that I was aspiring, i.e. hoping, wishing, etc. My forum was closed and I received an informative posting saying that I should not refer to another SF as "soror" until I become one...I was like, oh, okay. I mean I didn't know and now I do...I don't understand why someone would get indignant with someone who has something that they want and is somewhere that they want to be? I hope I haven't been too longwinded 
Thanks for all the great info!!

whether someone has something that you want or not...it doesn't give them the right to disrespect you and expect you to just be like oh...i have no respect for myself anyways so its o.k...a loving chide is one thing...overt nastiness and blatant disrespct is a whole different issue...that is where problems arise...
