Sisterfriends turned members!

[brownsuga40]

OK.....Maybe I'm a junkie, but as an interest, I like to come on this forum and read old posts.
Well, I got the idea to start looking at the profiles to see how many interests that posted in forums, say, 3 years ago actually crossed. For instance, forums like "Why do you want to be a Delta" or "What do you have to offer Delta." Unsurprisingly MANY have made it (which gives me hope ) But anyway, I was wondering how many more of you are out there. It would be fun to see how diligence, persistance, and desire have brought so many women into Delta!! Please share your experience

Miss Nikki, this was a great idea. I am junkie too, when I first signed on I looked at the old posts as well. As an interest, I am curious too!

[treblk]

I want to know too

Me three (well, four anyway)

[Cali_Keisha]

Me five!! Bring on the info. so we can keep hope alive

[SKEEphistAKAte]

I (obviously) wasn't a Delta interest, but an interest nonetheless. My previous screename was MIZZKES. See my sig. for other details.

Skee- Though I am a Delta interest, I would love to hear from the other D9 sororities as well....thanks for your input Congrats by the way!

well i'm one of those sisterfriends turned members. as you can tell by username, i was careful with my info. and i was one of the ones who posted in those threads you mentioned.

i learned a lot and i ireally became comfortable with a lot of people, sorors especially, who post on the board. as a matter of fact, CT4 was there for me when i prepared for rush, submitting my application and my interview. i can remember sending her a message saying "i'll talk to you in a few weeks..."

throught out the whole process, she would send me greetings, as well as kelli (a former mod) and greeting cards. when i crossed, i couldn't wait to post on greekchat and send carla a message. i was soooooo excited to call her SOROR!!!! that's why i call her my cyber prophyte. and we've never met face-to-face but it's that good ol' DELTA spirit that's good enough for me!

My experience on this board was a little different. I always just observed, I never posted. However, I learned a lot and watching the love that sorors extended to interestees let me know that this was the right sorority for me just like I thought. There is indispensable knowledge on this board!

I read this yesterday at work and teared up a bit (dayum allergies, lol) but the feeling is definitely mutual Soror MeezDiscreet. I am proud to call you my cyber neo and SOROR!!!!


I still remember when you were on line, I would check the neo thread EVERY DAY. When that grand glorious day came, I started clapping and cheering and crying. I felt like a proud Mama Duck.

I developed a wonderful relationship with Soror Ideal that is very similar to MeezDiscreet and CT4'srelationship.

Because I was so young when I first registered on GC (it was the summer before my Senior year in HS), I never really felt like it was my place to engage in some of these grown discussions (Greek life, relationships, etc.), so I only posted once in a blue moon.

When Soror Ideal and I began exchanging PM's, I was still in high school (a senior). We talked about many things including her career, my goals, and other life issues. Some time before this school year began (my freshman yr. in college), I expressed my interest in AKA. She gave me advice on contacting different people and remaining discreet and humble. I remained VERY discreet while she helped me get ready for Rush and wished me the best of luck.

I can say with no doubt in my mind that there were times when I WORKED Soror Ideal's nerves. I would IM her with questions and ask the same question in millions of different ways. Sometimes, I even questioned the advice she was giving me. But, I made sure to never step on any toes and get too big for myself. She laughed with me (and probably at me), and always made sure I understood how much confidence and pride it takes to be an Alpha Kappa Alpha woman!

When I finally became a SOROR, I had to tell her! Soror Ideal knew before alot of people in my life, because she means THAT much to me. I am now a Soror of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, bursting with the pink and green SPIRIT and I am SOOOOO glad I had her to help me see the light!

I don't recall posting on here much before I crossed. I frequented other message boards and those women were very helpful in giving me good information as well as encouragement over the 4-5 years it took me after graduation to complete the journey. They were probably as happy, if not more, than I was when I finally got the call. And along with the Delta women who were already in my life two of them were there to pin me so it really made it something truly special for me.

I don't know why you are trying to make me cry up in this piece! was SO happy for you when you crossed!! I am proud to call you my soror! Girl, you never worked my nerves! I remember what it was like on the other side. Soror Soulfulremix was ALWAYS on point!! She thinks that I helped her so much, but she helped me, too. She has kept alive within me... well, you know the rest.

awww....this feels like a reunion

[Nubian]

I didn't know 5 years ago when I started this quest that I would still be on it today. But having to wait so long has actually solidified in my mind that this is what I want. And actually seeing people realize their goals after 5,10, or 15 years makes me very hopeful and proud. As a matter of fact MSN4MED doesn't know me from a hill of beans but when she crossed I almost cried!
