Crooklyn08,
I agree with you both 100%. I have never been in the chatroom but I have been approached via e-mail. I have also quietly witness certain posts. One person even ask me could she see my letter of intent! so she could kind of get ahead of the game. I told her, absolutely not! When I was a sisterfriend, I never ask questions of anyone and I would never dream of asking such boisterous questions as some of the ones I've heard. I did my research and let my actions speak for themselves--as it should be. I adhered to the boundaries of discretion at all times. I have an aunt, a cousin and a former teacher who are AKAs and I never expressed to them my interest until the day I was chosen. This is because I wanted to stand on my own and present who I was to AKA, not what others had given to me. I am independent like that. The web is a nice place to converse but I do not think prospects should use it for asking questions about Alpha Kappa Alpha and membership. I think that should be done on a more personal level--if at all. This was not meant to be an easy task. It would not mean anything if it was. So, please ladies think before you ask.
