Aspiration and Inspiration

[dreamdeffered]

Greetings ladies:

I would first like to thank the Ladies of Alpha Kappa Aplha, Sorrority, Inc. for having a forum where instrested sisters can ask questions and be respectfully answered.I also have shown intrest in Alpha Kappa Alpha, and have been denied an invitation twice. I know how your organization only accepts those who are worthy, but I also do not know where I have faltered. I attend a University that has a large amount of prospectives for Alpha Kappa Alpha, (sometimes more than 250 attend interest meetings), so I understand that it is very competitive, however I have a deep respect for the organization and feel in my heart I could serve her with honor and dignity, if given the chance. But I have a few academic setbacks from my first two years of undergrad. that have my made my gpa lower than expected, don't get me wrong it is well above the requirment for my campus, but I know your organization merits the best. I have done alot of community service and I am very discreet, and I know it is not a question of my charcter, because members have shown instrest in me before they saw my grades, then they would question them. But I was in a very abusive relationship, which was stressful, and made my grades falter, which I also expressed, but is it really considered or is it just seen as an excuse?

With no disrespect to your organization, I have seen many members show little to no intresest in Alpha Kappa Alpha prior to Rush, and make line due to outstanding grades, or legacy status, or friends. What about those who have a genuine love for the organization and wish to serve her well. I guess because there are so many prospect it is hard to notice, but I will keep trying until I achieve my dream. I have one more dilema. I am a senior and we only have lines in the spring and I'm not sure if we will have a line this year, because we had such a large one last year, what should I do?

And I only need 20 credit to graduate, but I was going to strech them over two semesters, just in case there might be a chance of a new line, but I would be crushed that I stayed an extra semester just to try to pledge and there is no line.

sorry so long, but I will not stop until I achieve my dream.

p.s.still working on those grades
