I was able to read some of the "intense" debates after I posted and I have to agree with both sides. I believe that most people begin their interest in seeing it through the people that they love and respect, but what is utimately the most important factor in our decision to actually want to join is what we have learned in our own personal journey. It is my personal experience (from knowing nothing about it, to knowing the members, to supporting to chapter, to knowing what I can contribute) that has left no doubt in my mind that there's just something about Delta Sigma Theta that has left an undeniable mark in my heart and mind.
I can't fault someone for saying that it was because of so and so that I wanted to be apart of the organization. The members are quite proud of Delta Sigma Theta and that has others questioning, "Well, what is it about Delta Sigma Theta that makes them love it so much?" I was in that place at one time. The difference is that now I KNOW, whereas some may just stop at that. I suggest to other sisterfriends and interests that the journey doesn't stop at knowing other members. Get involved and find out for yourself....It will be a more rewarding experience at the end of it all.
