Change of Heart

PositivelyAKA · #1 06-05-2000, 08:01 PM

Hey sorors did anyone have aspirations to be a Delta etc. and then later change their mind, why? One soror was saying that she wanted to be a Delta like her mother, but when she got to college she was turned off by the type of women and activities in thier chapter and decided to research other sororities and now she's a soror. Any breaks in legacy, let us us hear it

Sorors, I would like to say that Alpha Kappa Alpha has always been my first and my only choice. My mother is a Zeta, I love her dearly and I support her in her sorority events, but that was not the way I wanted to go. We get along well and she supports me fully on being an AKA. As she told me, go with what is in YOUR heart and what will make YOU happy. This is what she did and I followed the same advice. I would not have it any other way.

I never had my sights on any other organization. I wanted AKA or nothing at all. I do have an older half sister and two cousins that are Deltas, a cousin who is a Zeta, and a deceased aunt who was also a Zeta.

I hope you all don't mind, but I felt compelled to reply to this topic. My mother is an AKA and has been since 1976. I was always brought up around AKA's. Like Kat said, I love my mother and her sorors deeply, but I just couldn't find it in my heart to follow in her footsteps. To her it didn't matter as long as I did what was in my heart. I took that advice and began doing research on my own and found what was right for me. She was very supportive in my quest for Delta and even after she is still supportive. Although I am getting flack from her sorors, I still love them anyway!!

I think that's what being greek is all about, being able to love and respect one another no matter what organization you are part of. That's just my $19.13 worth.

I agree everyone goes through that syndrome and congrats to babygirl2000.

Believe it or not Jesus told me where I needed to be. I asked him GOD what sorority should I pledge and He said that only way is AKA. God told me that AKA needed me as a soror. Not only because of the ideas for programs I had but for my leadership abilities. The tail of any line has to be the strongest and had I not pledge the right way, I would have disturbed God's work for AKA.

Just a little Gospel Note from a 1908 prospective.

Pinkice9, I can't agree more with you. I think that most people go through a period of uncertainty. I think my biggest dilemma was thinking that I was going to hurt my mother by not following in her footsteps. But she let me know that it was my choice and whatever choice I made I have to live with it, not her. SO I had to look deep with in myself and pray on it before I decided that Delta was/is the right choice for me. I do, to this day, still do all of the activities with the AKA's that I can, but now I think I have broken down a barrier of the AKA's and the Delta's in my area. That's just my $19.13 on the issue.
Pinkice, thanks for the congrats and OOOP-Skee to you and the rest of your sorors!!

Greek Love!

Hello Ladies:

I think that generally, everyone goes through a period of, not necesarrily uncertainty, just trying to see to it that they are making the right decision for them. For those who knew it from jump and never looked back...kudos.

My mom is a Delta, as are my aunts (except one, she is a Zeta, she's the baby, she's a REBEL). Both of my high school best friends are AKAs. I love them dearly and when the time came for me to decide I asked my mom. She encouraged me to do what I felt comfortable with. She said she would support me if I wanted to pledge AKA (obviously based on the fact that my friends were). Obviously I chose Delta for reasons that I'm sure we all have chosen our respective sororities. I never had a desire to be anything else...ever. Although a lot of my friends are AKAs and I respect and love them, Delta was and will always be the one for me.

1BabyGirl2000 CONGRATULATIONS, BABY SOROR!!!

Oo-oop!!!

Ooop-Skee to the Ladies of AKA.

I enjoy the topics that are brought up on your page.

AFTER ALL THE BICKERING AND THINGS THAT GO ON IN THE GREEKLIFE FORUM, I LOVE TO SEE THE LOVE AMONGST GREEK REGARDLESS OF WHICH SORORITY EVERYONE CAME FROM. I WISH EVERYONE COULD SEE AND KNOW THAT ALL YALL LOVE AND RESPECT EACH OTHER!
