I'll take a stab at some of these. . .

1. Do you think that some of your sister's get too carried away with wearing their sororities pari or colors? How do you address that for yourself?

I think that after waiting for so long (for some Sorors, the pursuit has taken YEARS - for me it was 8) it's normal for neos to go all out. But it is possible to OVERaccessorize. I'm guilty of having done that myself (when I first crossed)! After having been out for so long myself, I feel a lot like a neo, and during the weekend, I usually have on a Sorority T-shirt. And I am planning to spend big bucks on a personalized sweater. Don't know when I'm going to get it though. . .


2. What's the one thing you get a kick out of doing when you know there is an interest around?

Watching their "antics". Just had the opportunity to be around several interests, and they were trying so hard to not do or say something stoopid. They were grinning the whole time, trying to be sweet and demure. I know when they got home, they felt like Jack Nicholson's "Joker" in Batman with a frozen grin!

3. Could you deal with the fact should you have a daughter, she does not want to be an AKA but something else? OR if your daughter is rejected, after you have spent countless years working for the sorority, for no apparent "good" reason given?

I could deal with it, but neither she nor I would be happy! She'd better find another way to pay for it, if she's chosen for another organization.

4. Do you believe in nepotism within the organization? If not/so, how would that affect your views on the direction of the organization and your involvement?

My safe answer is that if nepotism can exist, then it probably will. Does this affect my views on the Sorority's direction? No.

5. Do you think in anyway that you fit the sororities "typical" stereotype given? OR feel that people think that you should fit the stereotype?

No and no. The closest I come to the stereotype is that my eyes are a lighter shade of brown. I have had people tell me, once they find out that I'm an AKA, "You LOOK like an AKA." Of course, my response is, "What does an AKA look like?"

6. How do you deal with sister's you just don't like?

The same way I deal with others I don't like that I have to deal with. Handle them with a long-handled spoon. We're working for the same cause.

3 and 4 kinda go together.....
