Sorors, SFs, One & All

[Humble]

I am a humble child of God, I am of good moral character, I am in good academic standing, I have been in public service my whole life, I have never missed a Delta event held at my campus, I have been to Delta national and regional conventions, I have met national presidents and other officers of Delta, I am a legacy, and I was denied membership. As you can imagine the devistation was incredible not only for me but my mother and the rest of the women in my family who are deltas. We have been waiting for this moment in my life to occur just as any other major step in life. I never had the attitude of what Delta could do for me, it was what I could do for Delta. I never wanted to strut with letters and stroll at parties. That wasn't important to me. I wanted to work on National programs and further the purpose of the organization. But I am not bitter, and I understand that if it wasn't my time it wasn't my time. I will continue to support Delta, as hard as it may be, because my love for the organization will never die. Yes it is hard but I cannot question the will of God. Everything happens for a reason and it is important to keep a positive attitude. I just want to encourage those on their journey to greekdom not to give up. It isn't easy but if you are in it for the right reasons, and it is in your heart, it will happen, in due time.

God Bless

I just have to say this this was an inspirational thread! i am a undergrad senior and i found myself discouraged becauseeventhough my grades are great and i am involved in alot of community service activities ( maybe too much for my own good lol) i felt that i wouldnt be a good candidate just because i am a senior so i didnt attend rush... at first i thought it was a big mistake but i just found out i am leaving for the Peace Corps sooner than i thought so i wouldnt of been able to participate anyway. I am just staying positve and studying hard so i can come out with a great GPA. i cant help but feel lost because when i come back from my service ( 2 years) i feel like i will have to start all over again with showing interest... but like everyone said i just have to stay focused and in due time God will show me my path!!

I joined Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated as an undergrad December 3, 2006 as a senior. Several people were concerned about attending rush as a senior, as I was. But had I not attended, I would have never know if I would be selected. Like everyone has said a million times before, if it is meant to be...it will be. I was on pins and needles waiting on my letter. I am not the best student in the world, so that means that I didn't have a 3.7 (far from it), but my service was stellar...that does not mean one can go to rush with a 1.0. My determination could have been a deciding factor in wether or not I got in. I love working in the community, because someone worked for us.

So, congrats to Sorors and fellow greeks!

Good luck to all of you sisterfriends!
Everything has a season!

Just know that your org. of interest isn't going anywhere. And you will obviously bring a lot to it when the time is right.
