Soror, sorry you are so upset!! I don't know where you are from but I'm sorry I just don't share that same feeling.
We are the smallest and least known of the 4. That is a fact. I'm not angry when we are overlooked. I don't think that people do that intentionally. I think back to my undergrad days when all I saw was pink and green and crimsom and cream. I never knew a Zeta or an SGRho. Having graduated and been in the working world for a good while now I have met members of all kinds of organizations. I'm glad I waited because I feel I chose the best!!!!!!!!!!!
I am an educator and I am proud of the fact that the sisterhood I chose to be a member of was founded by 7 educators who wanted to turn things around for the education of our youth. I am committed to our youth in my community, through my church, and through our beloved sorority. You're not the only one dedicated. Most sorors I know are dedicated. Please don't be so angry. It breaks my heart (seriously)
No, it's just not the other sororities who are getting all the members. While they may be larger than we are, we are still continuing to grow. It doesn't bother me that we are smaller. I like it that way. It means that we work harder. Other sororities may be larger but do their members know why they joined? Because it was the "popular" thing to do at that school at that particular time? Thank God I didn't do the same because I would be wearing some other letters and colors and at this point in my life not really know why. I have met so many AKAs and Deltas in my school system who have never been affiliated with a grad chapter. Now that's sad. They can boast about numbers but how many are doing the honest to God work?????
I hope I can help lift your spirit some. I and my grad chapter sorors work hard all year round promoting "Greater Service, Greater Progress". Even if you feel you are the only one dedicated then continue to be dedicated. Wear your 'nalia every day and continue to be proud of the choice you made.
