Good. And, I trust that "OO-OOP" never leaves your mouth and that you don't collect elephants in the name of DST, seeing as though that's also unofficial and thus, against protocol.
(I don't recall ANY text explaining the Delta call, and yet it has remained a widely accepted part of the organization. I know past AND present national officers who can hold it longer than I can!)

Soror Giddings, an Alpha Chapter Soror, didn't just concoct/fabricate a story about a friendship between the 22 and the 3. Please keep in mind that the information taught via official texts TODAY may not be the same as it was decades ago. Let's take Black History, for instance. How do we really know what happened, from the slaves' perspectives, during those centuries of slavery? We know because stories are passed down. John Singleton's movie Rosewood wasn't based on OFFICIAL historical documents in which details of the event were recorded/printed as they happened. The people who lived to tell the story were children when it happened, so they had to recollect the people and the events! So, what we now READ about the incident in historical texts is BOUND to exclude some information. But that doesn't mean it didn't happen.

That there does exists a bond? Well, let's just agree to disagree about that. But you're right-- sorors and bruhs shouldn't EXPECT you to acknowledge a bond. Me, on the other hand--I still love Omegas; I still acknowlege a bond; I'm still a Delta. A Delta who can't wait for an opportunity to use my membership and the bond as an excuse to get a big hug from Shaquile O'Neal, Bill Cosby, Michael Jordan, Wanya Morris, Steve Harvey, or DoggyStyle82 if ever I meet one of 'em!

Bruhs, if you're reading: I got enough Coleman Love right here to make up for everyone who plays by the rules. OOP-ROO

But enough about that.

And, I'm glad your goal was/is not to change my mind, because as you can very well see I am as stubborn as a bull! And, you're pretty steadfast yourself--I'm glad you're one of MY Sorors! (If I were on trial, I want you to be on my side!) As for my statement about the radical feminist, that was not intended as a personal attack. I do believe I said:



Through metaphor, I was comparing "refusal" with "attitude." Never did I say that YOU were/are a radial feminist. I'm sorry you took that the wrong way, but I am DEFINITELY not one to make judgements about people I don't know--that never has been and never will be in my nature.

This has been a very thought-provoking dialogue. As weird as it may sound, I'm actually glad this topic came up and led to this discussion. I haven't done anything but WORK for months now, so I'm glad to have had an opportunity to write, with such fervor, about something other than academic/student affairs! Au Revoir!


And I'm OWT!

I Just had to Say it
I LOVE YOU SOROR 411

Actually, it rarely does, and I have plenty of elephants, I'm not driven by those things. But AGAIN this is about CHOICE. I just choose to love all my greek brothers (and Black Men) to the highest elevation without distinguishing amongst them or expectations. I don't need to look to a "brother/sister bond to show love.

Moreover protocol and ISOS does address OO-OOP (don't do it, Founder did not approve) and the elephants, (in which the particular Founder's collection is archived at National Headquarters and is part of our OFFICIAL history-- the LEGEND is in regards to the REASON she collected them). Those examples are minor vs a historical account that goes to the heart of how Delta was founded.

I know that people are going to do what the want inspite of what others think. So carry on, and so will I. Enjoyed the debate and I return all compliments to you.

Enough said.
