Legacy Dilemma

Because the way she is seeing it is like Sistergreek RoyalTempest said: why NOT her organization? Did those girls on campus say ANYTHING to you to think anything otherwise? That is running across her mind... The reality is she would not be in this situation if she chose to pay for you to college elsewhere...

Having legacy in your family is a "status symbol" in the NPHC. To say all generations of women are "XYZ Sorority" is important. Now that your folks are empty nesters, they are trying to reconnect to their "activism" roots and friends their age.

Only 2 people I know who can answer those kinds of questions, my Soror Barb and Sistergreek Ladygreek. Both have daughters. One person's daughter had chosen to stay in the "family way".

I must say as a huge legacy myself, it is very nice to experience family at various Sorority functions. And that is how I get my paraphrenalia. Also I get a guided level of leadership not just from my Soror mother and grandmother, but also their contemporaries who are actually being my elders to me.

If I had chosen another NPHC, my parents would have harped on their friends to protect me. But, welp, that did not happen. I choose the familiar versus the unknown. It is the best decision in my life.

Okay could you explain how my mom wants to reactivate through me? I didnt get this post.

Membership has its privileges. You and your mother need to talk.

And I would suggest, you may as well tell us: which sorority is your mother a member? Because really posting your confounded decision is causing us to become lemers and commit 切腹...

See page 1, post #2 of this thread. My Soror RhoyalTempest quoted taurus' post before she changed it. Her mother is an AKA.

I have different intuition now... LOL Thanks...

Can we close this thread because this item cannot be discussed now...

How you conduct yourself on GC is a reflection of how you conduct yourself publicly...

And Taurus--may as well choose an NPC sorority then--if they want to have you, now...

I can almost guarantee you that you will not become a member of my Sorority any semester, regardless of what your mother does--especially when she sees all these kinds of posts in a public forum.

You need to skate on over to where you feel most comfortable.

And your mother's angry because she just lavished major money to reinstate her financial obligations to Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. which is well into the $1000s and now you are being wishy-washy about your desire for membership...

Since Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. was founded in 1908 and since 2008 is my Sorority's 100 year anniversary to be celebrated in DC in July, you are showing a complete lack of discretion.

Now even if you wait until you graduate, you are going to have dumb questions as to the variation between undergraduate membership vs. graduate membership. How do I know this--SEARCH is your friend... Been there and done discussed that ad nauseum.

So, your safest bet, if you are skipping over to your winter wonderland to fit into the group your most comfortable with, then sweetheart, you are not Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. material...

If you think differently, then prove me wrong... Show your service to all mankind then with things that are more worthwhile with fidelity and simplicity; yet refrain from ill-will so that you remember; and afterward you have lived your day...

Bless your little heart!!!

We don't want her either.

LOL... You have to tell her the name of your sorority specifically so she doesn't show up at the house during recruitment on her campus...

Wow. Notes are being compared...
