My take..
I'm brand new also, still have sand on my feet, and I've been approached by many people. Boy, do I have some stories about that.
Anytime I wear 'nalia- which is like every single day as I have a severe case of neoitis- I just expect to have at least one person ask me about AKA. If I ever wake up and feel like I don't want to be bothered, I won't wear 'nalia. I haven't felt that way yet.
As far as people asking questions: I try to be really helpful if the person sounds sincere. I remember that the MAIN thing that stood out in my mind as an interest, was the way the members treated me. The ladies were always kind to me and very helpful and respectful. *winking at pinkivy08 and evaclear* That was one of the main things that made AKA stand out from the other orgs on my campus- the ladies were approachable and friendly to me. So I try to be the same way to people who approach me.
Now, don't get me wrong my LS' will tell you, I am VERY SERIOUS about AKA. So a person really has to be tight if they approach me. I feel like, as an interest, I was always tight, so be tight and on your game when you step to me. But I am never downright rude to anyone. I have people say stuff like "Ooh gurl, you a AYe Kaye AYe? How I cuh be one uh dem?" I politely direct tell them that it is necessary to go to COLLEGE or if they are in college I direct them to AKA1908.com and remove myself from the situation. But I try to be polite because I don't want to leave a bad taste in their mouth about AKA.
