Deltas and Facebook

For the past 6 months, I've come to build a few relationships with some Deltas whether through community service, work or school. Normally I would add my relationships as friends on Facebook but now that I've expressed interest in the sorority, I'm afraid to add some of the Deltas for fear that my intentions would be misinterpreted. Many of them, I've grown to like and enjoy on a personal level so I don't want to send them the wrong impression. Should I go ahead and add them or wait until they add me?

If I were you I would add the ones you were closest to (like 2 or 3 tops) and wait for the others to add you...

IF someone gets mad that you didn't add them I would just say you didn't know their last name...

Hope I'm helpful!

I have that same issue too. What I do is search our mutual friends to see if any other interests are their friends, too. Then based off of that I choose to add or not to add.

Facebook is not the place for expressing interest in Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., therefore whether or not to add someone as a friend or not should not be an issue. If the only reason you are adding them as a friend is because they are Deltas, then don't do it.

A good rule of thumb is, if you have to question it, then don't do it!

I agree with what my Soror has stated. Besides, if they are good friends of yours, then you wouldn't have to really question your ability to add them on Facebook or anything...right?????

That's very true...but the fact that these good friends know that I'm interested in their sorority, I'm not sure if I add them, are they going to look at me as *insert name* the friend or *insert name* the friend who is also interested in DST.

Don't make things so complicated. You're over thinking things. Take this how you will but I'm pretty sure the sorors have a lot of other things that take priority over analyzing and categorizing their Facebook friend list.

And being their real life friend (more realistically, close acquaintances) hasn't posed this problem but you're worried about whether or not being their Facebook friend will? Doesn't real life trump Facebook?

If they don't want to be your Facebook friend, they will not accept your friend offer. Right? Problem solved. Now back to real life.

I don't see the big deal. If you have REALLY formed "friendships" with these women, then they won't see it as a problem. However, if the extent of your "friendship" is the fact that you converse here and there while at events, then you are not technically "friends" and you should leave the Facebook thing alone. It might make you look pressed as an interest with a slew of Delta friends up and down your friend list.

What do you plan on doing once they are added? Are you gonna post on their walls? Do you want to add them just for the sake of adding them? Are you going to sort through their pictures? Make then join groups? In all honesty, I think you should leave the Facebook thing alone and focus on forming "real life" bonds, such as DSTCHAOS stated, unless you really feel like they are "friends."
