For those who do not know Delta Sigma Pi is a Professional Business Fraternity organized to foster the study of business in universities.

Things People have said to me

"You keep wearing your jacket like those letters mean something"
"You rep your frat like its real"
"Why would you join that, you couldn't get into a NPHC org"
"Yall the next NU PHI PSI"

or if people overhear me talking to somebody else about they or see my paddle they laugh in hysterics

Now I am not ashamed of my organization in any way shape or form I just want to know if it is an issue for you and if so why? If I tried to pledge a NPHC would you hold this against me?

I would hope instead of laughing and down playing me, you would be proud of me trying to better myself and advance myself in my career Especially this early in my college career. I stepped outside of my box and comfort zone by pledging and this process was not easy. I am just dissapointed that my own people are down playing and talking about me instead of uplifting and congradulating me.

I'm not greek yet, but I do think you're a sell out.

Thanks for invalidating the second part of your response to her question with the first part.

It really shouldn't matter what anyone says because people always talk about people. It's part of Greek life and life in general. Get over it. Just continue to do your thing and be positive on your campus.

The only thing left for you is not to use this GLO affiliation as a substitute for a D9 affiliation. If you're already on your campus strolling, chanting, and stepping in the name of your business GLO, then I wouldn't take you seriously either. (I didn't say you were doing that, but that wouldn't be a positive to anyone.)
