Deltas I truly need ya'll help

[Krisco]

I think that one of life's biggest misconceptions is assuming. As much as I know and love the fact that my sorority is based on CHRISTIAN principles, I refuse to judge people. If one of my pledge sisters had 'came out,' I would have accepted "her" choice to live that lifestyle, even if I don't understand it nor truly agree with. Its almost like the saying either you are against something or for it. I feel I get pulled in many situations, and this is one of them. As much as I disagree with that lifestyle and call myself a Christian, I KNOW FOR A FACT I would not throw you away like that...

When you decided to come out, you also decided to be cut off with certain people. That is just the nature of the unacceptance of homosexuality.

I guarantee you, at least one of your LS's wouldn't necessarily mind continuing the bonding process with you(as you know it continues after crossing), but she may then be ostracized by the rest as well. People are great at being followers. Even if they dislike your choices, I just don't agree with singling out a sister. We are all sinners. Anyone who just came through DELTA should know that.

I also am curious about why you choose Delta Sigma Theta. What were you looking for in this bond that could not be found elsewhere in life?

Hope you were not offended when I asked you these questions, it was because you are a neo and you 'seemingly' are in search of acceptance in the midst of all the undue anguish you are experiencing. I wanted to know exactly what drew you to Delta, nothing more nothing less, everyone has their reasons. If you chose or chose not to share that is definitely your perrogative, but as a neo be prepared to answer to some Delta somewhere that question, + many others 10 fold!

What's the correlation here? We are based on Christian principles--not Christian scripture.

*Okay I know, that's a whole 'nother discussion that has been hashed and rehashed on here* LOL

Soror Ladygreek, I was making an attempt to say in my own feeble and bumbling mind that christian principles, imho, are highly related and based on actual scripture, hence in my eyes correlated. But of course, that is subjective to what one embraces as Christianity. I was kind of torn in the way I felt about this young lady and her motives. On the one hand Granny laid it down early that christian principles and/or scripture doesn't condone homsexuality...period, but at the same time neither does it 'allow' judging and mistreatment. So at times I basically feel torn quite a bit... !

Soror, this is a deeper discussion that has been addressed by our national chaplain. Try doing a search here and in the Omega forum on Christian principles, Christian-based, Minerva, etc. You will see both sides of the argument. And remember that not all sorors are Christian.

So true, I will definitely dig in deeper for personal reflection...as I need the dual representation when looking at issues! Thanks for directing me in the right way
