Before coming to college I did not know what a "Greek" was. At my first party in college I saw that there were people going around the dance floor and none of it made sense to me. So of course I started asking people what were they doing and why. Now that I think about it the one sorority that I was mainly focused on was Delta.
When I heard that there was going to be a Greek Forum, out of curiosity, I had to go. While there everyone, from their respective organizations spoke on their organization's programs and history . I must admit that I was most impressed with how the Deltas finished one anothers sentences and there were so many of them there, there seemed to be a great bond between them that I didn't see in the others. And when one of the Deltas named off all 22 of the founders I couldn't help but stare. They spoke with such authority and poise. I just sat there in awe. That was my first glimps of Delta.
I was so impressed that I started researching and I learned about the rich history and the obstacles that were placed before the founders. In a time when African Americans had so much oppression these women did what they had to do for themselves and the community at large. One of the things that really stick out in my mind about Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. is how soon the founders got down to business. Where other organizations waited years to do their National Community Service project...the Deltas did theirs only 3 months after they were founded. To me that is truly an indicator of the greatness of this organization and the convictions it is founded on.
I found that people who I have admired and looked towards for inspiration are Deltas. Strong, Intelligent, Inner/Outer Beauty, determined women...those are words that come to mind when I think of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.and the women affiliated with it. After all of this and so much more how could I not be interested in Delta? Every woman who is a part of Delta, who will be, and has been has my utmost respect and admiration.
