"You Are Always Wearing Your Letters"

YES! YES! YES!

The very day, or better yet, the very moment I was inducted into Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc., I went from being Ninjapoodle to "Ninjapoodle the SGRho".

I absolutely LOVE this essay. Although when I read it, it was the same essay but with sorority instead of fraternity but it goes both ways. I couldn't have sad it better and it's definitely something that every sorority woman and fraternity man should understand.

Only where people know you're an SGRho and/or where people know about and care about Greekdom.

I still say that Greekdom is always more important to members than it is to nonGreeks (including aspirants). While there are people who know the good that we do in the community and think it's fantabulous, there are more people who don't care who is doing the good, as long as it is being done. I prefer to live my life to the fullest and uphold certain ideals as DrPhil or DrPhil-the-Christian-Black Woman-Professional, etc. I will never pretend as though being a Delta holds me to a higher standard than any of my other identities should.**
