Standing out from the rest

[L.O.C.K.]

I joined my organization, a historically Asian American Fraternity because of what it was.

I lived with 5 kids the beginning of my freshman year who rushed IFC organizations. After they became members, they only seemed to care about partying or drinking.

PDPsi stood and stands for a true committment to Cultural Awareness. Even though I am white, it didn't matter. The organization exists to really make a change in how people think about culture, and how we are individuals interact based on pre-conceived notions about other groups.

Additionally, the brotherhood they had, with only 5 of them on campus was very tight. They were also very socialable individuals and prominent within the Asian American community.

I just knew that TD was right for me. There wasn't a Tau Delta stereotype. They were a crazy bunch of girls, and they were refreshingly honest, non-perfect, and just...so very different. I immediately knew I could have a place there, a place to be my self, a place where they LIKED my self, weirdness and all! the "To Thine Own Self Be True" motto was what stuck to me, and still does. I was invited to TD's novelty (1st round) party, and of the 3 i was invited to, it just felt like a party I'd go to on my own, and I felt completely at ease, not like i was being evaluated. There were activities, involvement, interaction, and it was all so vrery natural, and FUN! I got to know a lot of PNMs and sisters at that party. I was heartbroken to be released from rush after the first round. But I still signed my preference card, with TD at the top. And fortunately, my sisters took a chance on me, and I can never repay them for it. Tau Delta is this wonderful combination of steady and constantly changing. There are some very deeply rooted traditions that we stand by 100%, but I like that we add new ones as we see fit...it's what keeps us young.

Happy 85th, Tau Delta!

I was a legacy to several NPHC orgs. But only a few people in my family were really active in their orgs after graduation. Every time I hung out with my cousin and her Sorors, they were very welcoming, that's what made the difference for me. When I interacted with some of the other orgs, I felt as though they were just talking to me b/c I was "so and so's" family, but they didn't really care about me. That being said, i still respect the other orgs and seeing the work that they have done was a part of what brought me to Sigma.
