I'm back; let's do this.
Picture this:
You are at a club or a party or the mall or somewhere on campus. A guy approaches you. He is interested in you. He has seen you from afar and likes what he sees. So he steps to you.
You smile at him, maybe engage in some polite conversation but you are not interested. The guy is not daunted.
You see him again. He is a little more persistent. He asks for your number. You give him a fake name and number.
You see him again. He says that the number you gave him does not work, but HE STILL WANTS YOU!!!
Now doesn't this guy because of his PERSISTENCE deserve to be EMBRACED by you! I mean after all, HE CHOSE YOU to want to be with. No matter that he looks like Flava Flav, has more gold teeth than white ones, his pants hang faaaaaaaar from his butt, his breath stanks and you want to buy him a Listerine flavored slurpee, you are not interested in him but he still wants you. He gets indignant with you at the party. He begins to talk loudly about how you ain't that fine anyway and you should be grateful yada yada yada yada.
Now let me bring that scenario closer to home. The same way this guy has approached you is how my sorors on campuses nationwide are approached everyday. If I had a dollar for everytime I heard, "I want to be a Delta," "I think you all are the best sorority," I love to see you all step," etc etc etc I could pay off a loan or a car or self publish my book. Just like you would get tired of the guy haunting you, SOMETIMES my sorors, myself included get tired of "prospects" haunting us. Not everyone who approaches us as Deltas about our organization is sincere. A lot of folks want to be Deltas for the superficial reasons -- stepping, getting fraternity men, partying, blah blah blah. Delta has not stood the test of time based upon those precepts.
My first week at my job, the girl on my team found out I was a Delta. You know what she said? "Girl I always wanted to be a Delta. All the women in my family are Deltas. I love the Deltas. I could have been one at my alma mater but they were shady, blah blah blah." Now that was one of my first impressions of her. While she praised Delta, I sat there non plussed wishing she would train me. Almost 90 days later, I AM SO GLAD SHE IS NOT MY SOROR!! She is one of the most trifling women I have ever met. Every time she talks she AGITATES ME SO BAD!!
My point is if for every woman who told us, "I want to be a Delta," if we accepted EVERY SINGLE LAST ONE
JUST for showing interest, Delta would have a lot of dead weight on our hands. MORE than we already have.
Please know that I am not calling you dead weight nor any other interest of DST. However, after having been a DELTA for almost 8 years

everyone who has interest in Delta does not fit the ideals of Delta.
If I could leave you with some final words, it would be:
RELAX!!! Delta is not going anywhere. She is a beautiful organization and sisterhood 92 years strong.
Instead of bum rushing my sorors, attend their programs, perform community service, make sure your grades are BEYOND a 2.5, and KNOW for certain that Delta is the organization and sisterhood for you.
Know that Delta is bigger than just one person and one chapter. Don't allow your interactions with one ruin the overall organization.
Also first impressions go a long way. Not just in person but on the Internet as well.
As a writer, former English teacher, woman with a B.A. in English, your overuse of ellipses and incorrect use of apostrophes is alarming. I am not saying you have to be grammatically perfect, but my God kill those ellipses.
Finally, this is not said to be mean. This is said to HELP YOU. I could have just ignored you or let folks come on here and talk about you. If you do decide that Delta is not for you after all, I wish you all of the best in your endeavors.
I think I am done. If not, I will be back.
