Hello...I have been reading the posts on this message board for sometime but I have never posted....when I came across this topic I figured this would be the perfect time...
Whenever I set goals in my life, I always strive for the best. In MY opinion Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. is THE BEST organization for me. My reasoning is not based on the influence of anyone else, but it is based on deep soul searching and prayer. I was first exposed to this organizaation in my 8th grade year in school when my history teacher got me involved in Teen Lift. This was my first exposure to any type of greek organization. As a naive child, I was mesmerized and all I knew was I wanted to be just like all of these women. However, as I got older I was exposed to other organizations and I was like, well what in the world am I supposed to do now... So I started doing research and what I learned was all of the organizations were founded on strong principles and all of the organations strive for the upliftment of the Black community. I then looked to myself and asked myself what organization I could see myself decdicated to for the rest of my life and the conclusion I came to was Delta. Delta is something that I know I want deep down in my heart. I don't know if there are any words that express how passionately feel about this oragnization. Coming to college and seeing the activities of the organization served to make the desire that much stronger. The Deltas at my school are always having some type of program that serves to uplift, enlighten and unite the student body, which I think I very important at a predominantly white school. Now don't get me wrong, I don't care if I was at a school where the Delta's didn't ever have a program or if the only activities they threw were parties (though I doubt that ever occurs) I would still want to be a member in hopes that I could be an instrument of improvement for the organization. But because the Deltas are so active and visible, it makes the desire to belong that much stronger. In speaking with members of your organization about my interest, I was asked if I could never wear the letters or tell anyone that I was a memeber of Delta Sigma Theta, would I still want to be a member? And my answer was yes. I don't care if I could never wear the letters, the colors, throw up the sign, do the call, step, or anything else like that because I would know in my heart that I am a part of the GREATEST sisterhood in the world and that I am making a difference through my organization and that is all that matters.
***SORRY THIS IS SO LONG***
