I am in total agreement with Pink Bunny. Vtqt79, you should not have felt ashamed for the decision you chose. If that's what was right for you, that was right for you. But I can see how som might have thought, "why is she joining that white sorority". Not to worry, because you can't please everyone. However, I am concerned like Pink bunny, why were the women who pledged you concerned about pledging you. Now, you took that in stride and I commend you for going for what you wanted. But I have to wonder, was the reason they were concerned was because you were Black, or because they were unsure of what you would bring to the sorority. Or, was it pressure from others about the possibility of pledging you. You were strong, because you wanted to be a member of that sorority. However, I know that some would decide not to pledge that sorority becuase of the doubt of wanting you because you are Black. But I don't know the circumstnaces so I will not jump to conclusions. Again, I do not understand how some of the GLO do not have graduate chapters. Again, I am a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha and we have graduate chapters everywhere, literally. And, I knew when I wanted to become an AKA that it was a lifelong committment that would never end. Do any of the GLOs have graduate chapters? Ok, so now I think I have said all I can say with regard to this topic and I do not need to continue to ramble on and on
