Breathe, Soror. Breathe.

It will all be all right. Some people just don't know but don't let it stress you. Let it go in one ear and out the other and continue to enjoy your day.

treblk · #3 11-10-2003, 06:31 PM

that is too funny!!

Soror Monique, girl welcome to being a Delta. This is just the begining of the kinds of questions and actions you will get from those who either don't know or don't know how to behave.
Take it all in stride, those will be called..will see the light.

Soror-

Remember one of the reasons you became a Delta is because you can handle anything that comes your way with ease and finesse. Don't let them get you down.

Sometimes, many times, people just don't know. You can decide to have them continue to make spectacles of themselves or pull them aside and educate them briefly. You've got to decide what role you will play.

I can tell when people are genuine or just plain foolish or bold, and I decide whether I need to enlighten them a bit. You know it's not always a good thing to see "us" so ignorant so it's up to "us" to educate each other. What they do after the education is up to them, but at least you've done something to make a difference.

Soror,

Like other sorors before me have said....let it roll. Just remember you have what she wants....don't even trip.

MizTigger · #7 03-18-2004, 02:14 AM

Okay sorors, just wanting to see if any of you had some interesting people coming up to you after you crossed??? Even now are they still coming???

Here are my experiences:

1) I just crossed last month, about a week later I'm sitting in class and this chick next to me tapped me on the arm and said, "Congrats!" She had never uttered one word to me before, but I'll take positive words from anyone. I know yall are like what's the problem then. It just took the cake when she TOLD me, "Yall need to vote to have a line next year, so that I can be on it!" I just looked at her. IS SHE SERIOUS?!

2) We just finished SGA elections at my school. I am the new2004/2005 Vice President!!!

Anyway, while campaigning I was going door to door reminding people to vote for officers as well as Miss Jackson State. So, a friend and I are in the freshman dorm talking to 4 young ladies about the voting process when one of them asked, "Are there any Deltas running for Miss Jackson State?" I was like, "Yes you will see her in the pageant." She said, "Oh, well I guess I need to go meet her since that's what I'm trying to be." I could have fell out laughing. I didn't have on any para, my bracelet wasn't visible, and I didn't mention that I was a Delta. I just told her to vote and left.

People should really be careful about what they say, because other people remember faces. I'm one of the nicer ones

you may as well get used to it soror. you have now become people's primary resource; people figure that your community service duty is answering their questions. and it never ends. grown women will see my plates and ask "what i gotta do to join an alumnae chapter?"

oh, and whatever your government last name is...forget it. your last name is now "the Delta." so as of the day you crossed, you are "Tigger the Delta."

but, i let it roll most of the time. it gives me something to laugh about.

msn4med1975 · #9 03-18-2004, 03:53 AM

I guess it depends on where you are. Since my chapter is a long stretch away from my actual home I haven't run into very many interested women since I crossed. We did have two people make a point to introduce themselves at IDOS but they were really nice. I've gotten more of a reaction from women on campus where I teach who suddenly want to know when the next step show is. I mean your guess is as good as mine LOL. And soror you're right. The one thing my chapter emphasized was as soon as we had crossed the sands we were now going to be known as MSN the Delta. So while yes folks were going to be asking for info that we also had to watch what we were doing in public cause someone was ALWAYS going to be watching.

This goes out to all the Neo's out there, this sort of thing happens all the time. Some are amusing, some are annoying and some will just down right piss you off. But above all else, remember who you are and what you've pledge to do and don't allow them to ruffel your feathers.

OOO-OOP

ladygreek · #11 03-18-2004, 12:38 PM

Now I am going to assume that all of you knew everything about what not to do as a prospect. Think about how is it you knew (or did some of you learn from experience.) The bottom line don't forget from whence you came. You were just in their shoes.

Yeah, it's always interesting to see who become your new "best friend." There was this one guy that I was in class with but we weren't close. I was walking around in my line shirt and all of a sudden we're long lost friends and he had to hug me. He threw me off guard cause I don't hug people a lot and we had NEVER hugged the whole year that we knew each other.

some of you people are a trip! What's wrong with speaking to you or asking you questions? You act like you're above the "little" people because you have some letters now. Maybe you had a stank ass attitude before and they didn't want to speak. Maybe wearing letters made you more approachable so they can talk to you about their interest. Maybe they just felt like saying hi that day. That doesn't make it seem like they want to be your best friend. Some of you act like since you are Deltas now, that someone speaking to you or congratulating you is a freakin sin. Get over yourselves.....You probably did the same thing when you were prospects!
