Sorors...have you been on cc?
Sorors, do any of you have accounts on collegeclub? The reason I'm asking is because I was playing around and decided to join a few of the delta clubs. Some of these clubs are comprised of interested young ladies as well as Deltas. However, to my knowledge it is in no means intended to be a pre-Delta club. I was very surprised to see bickering going back and forth between the interesested young ladies and some of our Sorors.
One young lady went on to say:
This is ridiculous the way that you Deltas are talking and getting smart with these ladies that are considering becoming a part of this organization. The way you are talking to them makes them not even want to consider that sorority. They joined so that they get the information that they need and I think they deserve to know. DST never know they could be passing up some good qualities or whatever ya'll are looking for. You should not stoop to their level if you are Deltas act like Deltas. You suppose to be respectful to these ladies. You can answer their questions with respect and maybe they will thank you with respect. Interestees should not feel like they are kissing ass, because if they feel that way they will snap regardless of who you are. To all the Deltas, does the title DST mean anything to you if it does act like it, and so far you haven't been acting like it. I don't think the =founders would've behaved in this manner. This is total disrespect to all the other Deltas that live up to their title and to the ones that are wanting to become one. Why would someone want to join a sorority that doesn't want to help others. I know not all Deltas are like that ACTIVE OR INACTIVE
Now I don't know what I may have gotten myself into, but I decided to reply (however I will not go back and forth with anyone). Here is what I had to say (and hopefully some people will agree with me):
I'm more of a silent participator in this club, but I just want to make it perfectly clear that if any interested young lady would like information, then SHE should stop by her local bookstore and purchase a copy of In Search of Sisterhood by Paula Giddings. It has everything in there that someone who is not a Delta needs to know. So in regards to your argument, that interested young ladies join this club for information...THEY SHOULD READ THE BOOK. As I stated, everything that needs to be known about the sorority by non-Deltas can be located there.
I know that everyone wants to know about secret things before attempting to join an organization, but in the case of DST...that will just not happen. If interested young ladies are extended the invitation to join the illustrious organization, then you all will see why it is so important that some things remain confidential.
As far as being respectful...everyone should treat others as they wish to be treated. But also (not in defense of any of my Sorors), some questions that I see interested young ladies ask are just outrageous and disrespectful.
And along the lines of respect, I don't see where you were respectful at all. There are certain ways to say things, and in my opinion, you did not use= a good job of using tact.
