Deltas I truly need ya'll help

[Senusret I]

Any other time this would be spam or shameless self-promotion.....

Okay, so it is.

www.oldgoldsoul.com, go there, buy a book called LAZARUS about a gay dude who pledges a fraternity.

Yeah, I wrote it, so what? LOL

But on the real, that's a tough situation and I really don't have any advice other than to continue being yourself and continue striving toward a sisterly resolution.

OH YEAH, and I am going to PM you the address of an LGBT NPHC yahoo group that may be able to provide some support.

This is more of self-promotion tie in! And that is all right with me.

Soror, I wish you well as you handle this situation. Continue to love Delta and know that many women face adversity within the sorority, be it their line sisters, prophytes, etc. Also Delta is bigger than just the chapter you are currently a member. Stay true to yourself and don't let them make you act unsisterly towards them.

Thanks to everyone that responded. But I just feel so helpless. I have two more years left at this campus and I would hate to have to transfer because of this mess. I feel like I am the one being inconvenienced for being who I am and they can get away with being mean and nasty.

I wish I could stand by you at your campus because I'm known for being "gay friendly". I know your relationships with your LS's and chapter are a great concern, but this situation sounds like a bigger campus-wide issue because other Greeks are making issue of it. If your student body is not accepting of homosexuality, maybe you'll be the catalyst that challenges others' views and treatment of gay students on your campus and homosexuality in general.
Just maybe....

This thread is so sad and enraging in 2007.

And seriously, buy Senusret's book. It's great literature.

It angers me that we as a people can be so caught up in the issue of homosexuality and totally neglect the more pertinent issues facing our society. Sometimes I look at my calendar and truly wonder what year it is..2007 or 1957?


Have you had any contact with any of the GLBT groups on your campus? Perhaps some sort of educational programming is in order. That and aLOT of prayer and meditation.

Check your PM.

^^^thank you soror! And yes I've checked my PM's and replied to everyone. Thanks so much for the support, its rough and unfortunate but I am determined to get through. I just hate that it has to be like this

Aww Soror it truly hurts my heart to hear this.

When I pledge, there happened to be a Soror who idenitfied herself as a lesbian on my line. She came out about a month after we all pledge. It was a big thing to her because we were the first people she told. After she told us, we hugged her, told her we loved her and continued on with Delta business. I love my Sands to death and thats what Delta is all about because we are family. I don't always agree with my Sorors but the bond that we share will never change. It almost makes me cry when I think about how close I am to them. It's been almost 9 years since we crossed and I still keep in touch with each and every one of them although I move around a lot. It pains me that you will not share the same experience as mine or most others. But do know that you have over 260,000 Sorors so don't let a few ruin what you worked so hard to achieve!

Be Blessed! (check your PM too )

Well, she may never find a Delta setting that is completely accepting of her sexuality. She might find a few Sorors who she can be open and honest with and that's it. But I think that no one should play up their sexuality anyway because what makes us who we are, as far as others are concerned, isn't about who we are attracted to or love.

The main point that I tell Sorors who are dealing with finding acceptance is that they should stick with the Sorors that they bond with no matter how few. They might really have a "Sisterhood bond" with 2 and have a "Delta business" relationship with 200 and that's fine. Our bond and commitment supercedes individuals and whether we get warm fuzzies everytime we interact with one another.
