I Found This Interesting
I was browsing through the board today( archives and current postings) and it is very rare that I post anything but I felt this deserved my attention.
I've noticed that a lot of my fellow sisterfriends are quite bold in their dealings with the members of Alpha Kappa Alpha. For instance there is one person in particular who has been posting recently and her threads continue to be locked because of them being disrespectful in nature. And instead of heeding the advice of the members, she continues to be unrully and disrespectful only to get embarassed and possibly her feelings hurt. I've seen this happen on multiple occasions and escapes me as to why these ladies are so persitently rude.So, in my attempt to be a more helpful sisterfriend I try to email this person and a few others just to give them some tips according to what I've learned by merely being an OBSERVER to the board. Surprisingly enough NONE OF THEM HAVE AVAILABLE EMAILS. Hmmm...I wonder why??? Could it be that none of them have the true courage to speak their minds and let their true identity be known. I mean, we are all women who reserve the right to say what is own our minds and challange those who may not neccessarily agree. However, why not provide away for the members of the organaization to do so as well with out embarassing you on a public forum. I know that there are PM's but my point is this.....
A lot of these ladies who have internet courage wouldn't dare post information that would lead to them being discovered by members who maybe on their own campus. I just thought that was interesting.
In no way am I attempting to bash the sisterfriends because we are all in the same boat and we ALL still have a lot to learn in our pursuit of Alpha Kappa Alpha. But I can say that I do find it irritating to see that a lot of us still dont get the point. The fact still remains, whether we agree with their methods or not, this is still their house and we are merely guests. They still hold a position of authority in that they hold something that the majority of us hope to attain one day, memebership into Alpha Kappa ALpha Sorority Inc. Therefore , we should humble ourselves in light of that. I am not suggesting that we kiss up but if you must stand up, don't be afraid to put your name behind it.
