Confused
(Confused About pledging and life)
Hi,
I am currently a second year student and i'm thinking about pledging delta sigma theta. Unlike so many others, i personally have not had any deltas in my life, before college. As a first generation American, most of my family was schooled in another country. Also, I lived in areas in which greek life was never spoken of. I just moved down south, where i feel there is more of a recognition of Black Greeks. In fact, due to my lack of exposure, I had initially thought that Greek life was not for me. Yet has I do research and pray about it, i feel as if this organization is for me. My first question is what will my lack of actual Deltas in my life influence my chances?? Next, as a Christian, i do not want to go against my beliefs. Are their any things that helped other christians to commit to this journey and did it strengthen their walk with God? Next, i am facing someone very close to me who believes that sororities in general are anti-christian due to its secrecy. How do i counter argue these claims?
I know that many will be wondering why I would like to join this organization. First and foremost, I really do feel a need to serve. I try my best to serve on my on but i feel like this will enhance and aid in my ability to serve. Second, i feel like all things in my life are pointing in that direction. Unfortunately, or better yet in opposition, I currently am facing a tight schedule and I feel like if i pursue this a friend of mine may felt abandoned by my somewhat sudden (yet deeply researched descion). What's a girl to do?
Honestly, I would love to just talk to someone about this journey, through pledging and beyond. I want to know more about the enrichment of Delta Sigma Theta.
I know this is hefty but I have a lot on my mind. PLEASE HELP!!! I would greatly appreciate all and any forms of advice (bible verses to study also). Thanks.
