No, we don't ask members that, and we shouldn't. But more importantly, we sure aren't asking them if they can step or throw a mean party, either-- we KNOW those aren't qualities we give a hoot about! However, when seeking information about Delta Sigma Theta, one would be made FULLY aware that our Sorority is founded on Christian principles. Recognizing that parties, stepshows, and other social pagentries are minor, INSIGNIFICANT components of Delta Sigma Theta and what she stands for, I just can't see why anyone would want to join when her personal beliefs completely conflict with the MEAT/CORE/HEART of the sorority's principles. Besides, MY behavior (greek social gatherings included) has never contradicted with Christian beliefs; it reflects the virtues of DST. Because those virtues match the attributes that make me who I am and love most about myself, I know Delta is a match for me. My contention is that, I can't understand how a non-Christian can feel like a Christian-based organization is a match for him/her, granted she is steadfast in her beliefs. If she can demonstrate that she is a match for Delta AND that Delta is a match for her (religious principles uncomprimised on both sides), then by all means, I'd welcome her into the Sisterhood with open, loving arms.
