Ask a SF . . . Random questions

Well if I met a member on campus or elsehwere I wouldn't hesitate to tell them my name. However, since I have already expressed interests to the members on my campus and they all have insisted that being discrete is very important - hence my absence (which I'm sure noone has noticed) on this board- I don't think it's wise for me to be sharing my name etc. here for them to see it. I'd be doing exactly what they told me not to do.

I do find these questions as practice, I have heard some of them before and you all are right in person it is very serious.

I'm done. Skeeriously, I'm done. D. O. N. E.

Little32, would you kindly do me the honors once more and tell us a little bit about discretion?

LMAO @ "I'm sure no one has noticed"

Well, some peeps have been gone from GC for a year, almost 2. I guess they are being discreet too. Dayum, I wonder when they are gonna cross? LOL

Maybe next semester?

Does it EVER become the responsiblity of the SF, TO DO JACK once she becomes a member?

If former SF is a GROWN WOMAN, isn't SHE responsible for the oaths and pledges SHE made, regardless of her sponsor/those voting favorably for her?

It is her responsibility but I don't understand how a member can not do jack and that's acceptable unless they just choose not to affiliate with their org and no one notices them. I would think that if someone walked around with a t-shirt and didn't do anything for their org their frat or sorority members would say something.

Soror Abaici,
Sadly, this level of information has been placed on the internet before by interested women. I've seen it a few times.

Why a conjunction and not simply a period?

[SummerChild]

Here's a question for interested women:

What do you know about Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. (besides the mushy: it's a great organization, full of great women who do great work in the community)?

I mean, what do you know about the organization's Purpose? Do you even know what our current Targets are? What they have been?

I ask b/c there are many an interested woman who does not even know our Purpose yet claims that she wants to be in The Sisterhood. I ask: how can you claim to want to be a member of an organization that you know nothing about. There will be a great deal of investment of time and money if you are ever brought into The Sisterhood so it is prudent to really try to research and figure out what you might be joining one day.

Also, why do some interested women think that it is ok to be too busy to attend our affairs and service projects (those that are open to the public) yet, she wants me to believe that when she becomes a member she will suddenly be able to balance everything going on in her life with our affairs and service projects?

Finally, ok Sorors, you all know that I'm a little frustrated so please bear with me, why do MEDIOCRE interested women think that it is ok for them to vie for membership? There is NOTHING mediocre about Alpha Kappa Alpha or its members so why would we want MEDIOCRITY?

1) Soror, I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that people are dodging the PROGRAMS question and the PURPOSE question.

2) LOL! Soror, no one actually *thinks* they are mediocre. Do they? There's a question.

Remember, we have already attained what it appears that you are seeking. I would think that humility is very important in pursuit.
And I also wonder if you would step to a live, in-person member of whatever sorority you are interested to in the manner I've seen in this thread? Keyboard courage can be something.

Yes, Soror I agree.
Interested women must have courage, yet they must be humble and finally, they must know what it is to be discrete.

Now THAT is hilarious.

Soror SKEE, I tried.

Soror, Just when you've done all you can....you just STAND!

YES, it is definitely and undeniably the SFs responsibility TO DO once she becomes a member. Why would you not DO after obtaining membership? That defeats the purpose.

If former SF is a GROWN WOMAN, isn't SHE responsible for the oaths and pledges SHE made, regardless of her sponsor/those voting favorably for her?

YES, because she must now illustrate that SHE is worth sponsorship and the favorable votes.

I just want to know why?



I do love this thread

[OrangeMoon]

What do you know about Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. (besides the mushy: it's a great organization, full of great women who do great work in the community)?

Some the information I know about Alpha Kappa Alpha are founding date, incorporation date, the Founders, the Presidents, the address of official headquarters, and the definition of “service”. From observation and a conversation Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority is about BUSINESS (someone made sure to make that statement to me when I expressed my interest)

I mean, what do you know about the organization's Purpose? Do you even know what our current Targets are? What they have been?

From research the purpose of the Alpha Kappa Alpha is “…service to all mankind” and to create meaningful relationships (sisterhood) with educated undergraduate and graduate women to do the work of Alpha Kappa Alpha. The current targets of Alpha Kappa Alpha that I am aware of are “The Spirit of Alpha Kappa Alpha” which is composed of five targets: Education, Black Family, Health, Economics and Arts. I am not aware of the previous targets but I think the programs and targets would change with leadership. I am certain the programs would involve service to the community.

I ask b/c there are many an interested woman who does not even know our Purpose yet claims that she wants to be in The Sisterhood. I ask: how can you claim to want to be a member of an organization that you know nothing about. There will be a great deal of investment of time and money if you are ever brought into The Sisterhood so it is prudent to really try to research and figure out what you might be joining one day.

***I completely understand your statement and that is why I search everyday via the Internet and ask question when appropriate. The internet is not the best tool but currently the only tool available to me at this time.***

Also, why do some interested women think that it is ok to be too busy to attend our affairs and service projects (those that are open to the public) yet, she wants me to believe that when she becomes a member she will suddenly be able to balance everything going on in her life with our affairs and service projects?

Last semester I attended all public affairs and service projects(that I knew of) except the very last event do to a scheduling conflict (class presentation and final exam review). However, after my presentation during a short break given by the instructor I made my way over to the event to show my support (though it did not seem like much considering the circumstances) I did not want to go without letting the chapter members know why I was not in attendance. In my eyes I felt everything was balanced because I handled my business and made an effort to show my support for the event although it was only lasted about ten minutes.

Finally, ok Sorors, you all know that I'm a little frustrated so please bear with me, why do MEDIOCRE interested women think that it is ok for them to vie for membership? There is NOTHING mediocre about Alpha Kappa Alpha or its members so why would we want MEDIOCRITY?

Personally, I know there is nothing mediocre about Alpha Kappa Alpha and its members. This is the main reason why I had to search within myself to see if I could go above and beyond the minimum requirements for undergraduate membership as listed on www.aka1908.com. With guidance and encouragement I found “balance” working fulltime, attending classes fulltime, achieving and maintaining my B+ GPA and continuing involvement with other organizations. There are still some areas I need to work on hence my statement in a previous posting concerning “up to par”(I’m not sure if that is my exact reference but the statement involved “par”)
