This is my second time trying to become a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. I will forever try until I die to become a member of this great sisterhood.
What made me interested in Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Incorporated acutally came when I was 5 years old. My girl scout leader is a Delta. She would take us to step shows and function as a child. I began to get extremely close to her family. Her daughter and I are the same age. I would seen her and her line sisters come together every saturday morning for brunch and they would shoot the breeze. They seemed like they were having tons of fun. Of course this was before I truly meant was Delta was all about. As I continued to grow, Delta was always very vivid in my mind. I became a Del-teen. I also participated in debutante ball that the local alumnae chapter has in my city. As I grew older I began to ask my mentor (my former girl scout leader) about Delta Sigma Theta Incorporated. I went to the library and began to look up information. At this time I was Junior in High School. I didn't find out much I looked at a few websites and then I asked my mentor. She bought me the book in Search of Sisterhood. To any prospect please go buy this book and read it. This will tell you what you need to know about Delta and it will give you some insight on this great sorority. I read the book in 3 nights. I found out that three women that I look up to are members of this great organization. Lena Horne, Dorothy Height, and Barbara Jordan. This sparked my interest in being a delta even more. Also just to know that 22 young woman had the courage and strength to almost bring an end to one sorority just to start their own. They wanted to get their thoughts and ideas across and they had a broader picture of what a sorority should be. This told me that I too must be a member of this great sisterhood. Because I am a person who is willing to fight for what I believe in and won't give up until I achieve it. My mentor began to tell me I had time to focus on Delta Sigma Theta when I got in college. But I still began to find out all I could about Delta. I began to meet undergraduate and graduate members of the organization. Any activity that Delta sponsored I was there and still continue to be there. I had the distinct pleasure of winning the Betty Shabazz Scholarship which was for $2500.00. I got the opportunity to work with Marian Elderman Wright (delta). Spending the summer with her gave me the opportunity to meet more Delta's and to learn more about the organization. I believe in the 5-point thrust and I know being a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Incorporated takes hard work and determination. Another reason that made me want to be a member of this sorority is the fact that everyone that I have ever met in this sorority is very done to earth and friendly. These women are workers and they take care of business. I have met many members of Delta that are extremely religious. Some being pastors and ministers. This was important to me because I am very religious. Once I entered college I was very determined to be a Delta. Before I had the chance I was diagnosed with cervical cancer and had to leave college. Even when I was at home I still had the opportunity to meet many deltas. My OB-Gyn is a delta. Since returning back to school a year ago, I was determined to do three things. Stay healty, get good grades and to fulfill my dream to become a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Incorporated. I still continue to read the book, look on websites and am very active in the activities that the Deltas sponsor on my campus. I didn't make the cut the first time around. But that has not stopped me from having that fire to be a Delta girl. I will continue to pursue my goals in getting good grades which i do I carry a 3.3 gpa, Staying healthy and one day to be a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Incorporated. So now I hope that the women that are already members of this great sorority understand why I want to be a member of your great sisterhood. God bless.
