Hi Soror Candid!!

I can't give you any advice about your boyfriend situation (I was single when I crossed ).

Now about your "friends". I didn't hang out with a lot of people either before I crossed mainly because I commuted, but the same people who were cool with me before, were still there afterwards. And then there were the "friends" that came out of nowhere. People knew my name, what kind of car I drove, and everything. At first I was flattered, but after discussing this with some of my LS' I thought hmmm....

As long as you attend college, you will be forever known as Alisha the Delta. There is no way around it. I know it can be frustrating at times, but you are now a woman of DST. Everything you do and say reflects on your chapter and our organization. My advice is to still be friendly, there is nothing wrong with saying hi to someone. If they're being fake about it, then that's on them. You are also finding out who your "true" friends are. But that's life, anytime something positive or good happens to you, there are going to be haters even if you thought they were your friends. Keep being yourself and besides you have 200,000 sisters and friends now!
