I think that there is indeed a difference of definition here. The description of 'follower' has a negative connotation such as a mindless robot. I think that we can safely say that Delta needs 'supporters' and 'workers' NOT necessarily 'followers'.

Okay, you don't like the word disheartened it all means the same thing. As for follower, I wanted to convey the idea that being a follower is not always a bad thing. It seems as if you're so vested in the idea that being a follower means you don't have purpose. Of course DST or any organization doesn't want members who take little to no initiative. I understand that.
My dictionary defines follower as an adherent or disciple. Which means that a follower is someone who supports a leader or a particular cause. This definition goes way beyond someones ability to follow directions or to take head to a leader.

Secondly, you need to figure out the difference between someone who is able to follow directions, or take heed from a leader, and someone who is a follower. Any great leader is definitely able to follow directions, and learn from others, however, a "Follower" is someone who takes little or no initiative, and whose judgment is a string of contingencies based on in whoms presence they are.

In addition, I feel that knowing someone who is a member can have a HUGE impact on whether someone evens give us a second look. However, keep in mind that you cannot pledge your heart to an organization such as ours that demands a lifetime committment for your mother, your teacher, your girlfriends, your boyfriend, etc. You must seek Delta on your own and stand on your own merits!
I trust that this conversation has inspired much more intense thought on the several questions posed in the beginning posts of this thread.
