SisterinChrist,
I'm assuming you are refering to me as the unregister-ed. (I have remained unregistered for my own reasons.)
Additional comments here are only for clarification. This discussion by topic is about white women joining historically black sororities. Many comments have been made along the lines of "Person X can't understand me, person y, because of difference alpha." In the case of this discussion it is a matter of color. The use of "my" and "your" is used profusely. Through the history of women's fraternal organizations - sororites - be they based on service, on culture, on education, or any combination - we need to find a common ground and work together. My statements were to establish while non-blacks may not have the same prespective as a black on hardships, careers, etc. some of us have parallelling prespectives that substituting in a different alpha - while it may result in a completley different out come - the feelings inside can be very similiar. We are human.
The other point: Each women that comes through the doors of the colleges across the united states, deseserves the right to say "XYZ sorority holds the ideas, purpose, service, and goals that I believe in. I would like to pursue them for membership." I'm not saying we should accept everyone who comes to our door. But they deserve consideration regardless of what they look like.
