No one said that life was easy, especially, as you stated, knowing that you move a lot and have not gotten to build the foundation and bonds with a local chapter. Maybe you are focusing on the wrong things *shrug*, maybe you need to relax and wait another 9 years if that is what it takes. Maybe you need to focus on your professional degree and get that squared away, maybe you need to give it up and let it ride. If it's meant to be, then it will be. Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. is not going anywhere, but if you decide to give up..then so be it. Please know we will be alright!

I read most of the posts in this thread and as a non-Delta/"wannabe" or whatever, I must say your comments were very insensitive. At one time in your life you were a non-Delta/"wannabe"/prospective or whatever, how would you have felt if you never made a line. I must also say that I attended a large HBCU in the south where competition was fierce to pledge. I did not actively pursue my interests because I was struggling financially, constantly switching my major, and almost transferred schools. Nevertheless, when the Deltas at my school finally crossed after being on probation for several years, I was astonished. I knew many girls on the line that smoked weed, constantly cheated in class, and DID NOT DO PUBLIC SERVICE! In fact many of them told me personally how they'd lied and gotten fake letters written indicating that they had done community service. Furthermore, so many of them are inactive now it is ridiculous. I guess I'm writing this to say, what happened to putting yourself in the shoes of others. I understand the greek "I've got what you want, so I'm better" attitude, but my goodness! I have never attended a rush, but would like to someday. I have had no luck in finding out about the activities for prospectives in my area, but hopefully one day I will, but if I encounter some of the negative personalities on this forum it is an organization I'd choose not to pursue.
