Re: The Founder's Step

Although we were never given any background on the history of the step, we just assumed that it belonged to Alpha Kappa Alpha. As you can imagine, when we did the step at our probate members of Delta Sigma Theta were not very happy and since then, members from each organization have almost come to blows over it on more than one occasion. I have been told by members of dst that it is the organization's national step (like the Serious Matter step belongs to Alpha Kappa Alpha) and I have been told that this is true but that AKA's do it to kind of taunt dst members b/c some of Delta Sigma Theta's founders were at one time members of Alpha Kappa Alpha. I know that it might sound stupit that some of us have let a step make us act this way, but I also realize that for many is a matter of respect. So, if anyone has any info about this I would appreciate it. Becuase this has gone on too long and there are so many other things that both organizations could be doing to uplift the community.

Why did you come on a message board to ask this question? If you were SINCERE in resolving this matter, you as well as your sorors would simply seek out my sorors to resolve this matter, build friendly inter-fraternal relations, etc. etc. etc.

I can honestly say you will always be remembered on GC for this post.

What is even more odd is that she joined in March and still has not introduced herself in the proper forum and way that that forum expects introductions to be made.

M.E.S.S.Y.
