This reminded me of the story a Soror told me about the Gems that came out at my school last spring. Some of them had collars, were barking, walking on hands and knees, and had their tongues hanging out! Yet a couple of them have indicated that they want to be a Woman of DST, hmmmmm.........

I am APPALED! I was/am an Omega Pearl and I would NEVER have done that! As a matter f fact, altohough I am not an active member of the auxillary group, I would have to check a woman if I saw her doing such things. Before we (this board collectively) were Pearls, Diamonds, Carnations, Deltas, AKA's,, etc. we were and will always be Women. Women should know that there is a line between being involved in something and being a part of something. As an auxillary member you are not a member of the Fraternity! And you are certainly not a member of the sorority with whom the frat as formed bonds wether historical or constitutional.

Acting in such a lude manner can do nothing but HURT the chances of joining a soroity if that is one's ultimate goal. And even if a sorority is not ones destination, why make yourself look like a jack a$$ for no reason at all.

But in defense of the "ignorant" (and I use that term strictly with Webster's meaning in mind);some young ladies are told that it is a stepping stone. And when you are straight out of HS and thrust into a new world where you are trying to find your place, you believe what the "experienced" are telling you.

I enjoyed my experience as an auxillary member and was fortunate enough to be friends with quite a few of the Greeks on campus and friendly with the rest. My Court sisters and I were recieved well on our campus and did many community projects (alone, not with the fraternity) in the name of Omega Pearl. My campus was very friendly. When I ventured onto other campuses without the accompniment of my friends who were Deltas...I felt the heat. In my Blind IGNORANCE, I had no clue of the issues between sorority members and lil sister orgs.

(Okay...I'm ending the book )...But the fact is, the people who know me and the women of Delta Sigma Theta who know of my intrest also know of my work in the community of of my desire to remain a worker and leader regardless of whether my chance for Delta evr comes...But LORD knows I pray that it will!

Sorry for the length...That just pushed a button!
