Definitely.
Does that keep me from being true to my heritage?
I hope not, what kind of person would I be, if that were so??
Do my Sisters love and respect me as a Sister, for everything that I am, including my heritage?
Absolutely. I first show pride and respect for myself, in all that I am. Without self-respect and self-love, especially for my cultural identity, how can I ask anyone else to accept, love and respect me in that regard?
It's been said before on greekchat, in a slightly different way, but it's just as cogent here:
Who you are makes the organization. The organization does not make you the person you are, it only provides the opportunity for you to make yourself better.
