What is it about DST...?

[psychdesire]

It took some years for me to actually understand the meaning of a sisterhood. As I researched the other three sororities, I could not make that connection as I have done so with DST. I was adamant that the epitome of being in this sorority is heart-warming and everytime I think about it, I get angry that I have not been able to join. This past weekend let me know that DST is definitely for me, because as I watched my friends cross at my school I felt an intense closeness to them as well as intense sadness that I have not joined yet. The empty feeling of not having the kind of sisterhood with my own family is one of the main reasons I want to join because everyone I come in contact with has so much emotion about how strong their relationship is with there sisters and the community service projects that they do as a unit.

To specifically answer the question, Delta is all that I am. With all the research I have done in the past couple of years, I always fall back to the national website to see what new information or events are taking place. I cannot see myself apart of anything else, this is the final piece of the puzzle. I love doing community service, implementing projects for teenage girls in impoverished neighborhoods around the community, and value being altruistic. Volunteer work is my second passion, and I will never get too tired to give back my wealth and appreciation to those who need it most. And that is what I believe Delta Sigma Theta does for the community.

I appreciate everything taking the time to read this, because this is a dream of mine and I hope that I can fulfill this dream. Furthermore, I am inspired by the women on this forum not only in DST, but in other sororities as well for providing honest information and feedback about issues at hand. Thanks again

The influence grows strong once again, I have some more input to speak on.

To go along with a previous poster, what can I bring to Delta? That question is definitely one that all of us PNMs should ask ourselves day in and day out. Being a psychology major, the importance of personality in interpersonal communication is definitely influential. It helps you making lasting first impression, and build rapport with those around you. Furthermore, being apart of Delta Sigma Theta, I can add to the amazing group of young empowering leaders of the new era by building meaningful relationships. I recently implemented a program at a high school where teenage girls are subjected and scrutinized for being behind in their studies. The program that I focused on was teaching them how to make lasting impressions. Although the program has ended, the girls are still true to my heart and I was able to implement the Five Point Programmatic Thrust into the outline of the project. I was fulfilled, and being apart of Delta Sigma Theta I can help fulfill the aspirations of younger women globally to become successful leaders, acknowledge their strengths, and value friendships.

With all the Deltas that I have come in contact with over the years, these are only some of the things that I admire about them. I have strong connections with majority of them, and I hope my rapport can build more into the future.
