I pretty much assumed her posting here was a calculated move to steer Indian and other South Asian women away from NPC recruitment and into other options.

Indeed i was
As far as DKD vs. DPO: DPO has more chapters and are more geographically diverse.
DKD is fairly large and pretty well known among Indians at UT, especially since they are dry (no alcohol ever) which appeals to those not looking for that scene.

With that being said,
DeltaIVA: if there is an ulterior motive, I personally know the DKD Gamma(UT) chapter president (total sweetheart), several founding alumnae, and heck chapter members. Oh and in case you are DPO, I know several alumnae with great pull and past national council members there too. Be careful as to how you come across, as i'm sure the organizations wouldn't condone this type of recruitment.

And just in case i'll save a copy of this thread.

As far as the first part, I know that. I was referring to the bold

Thanks.

You have to give us something more exciting than that, though.

Ha ha. No, nothing more scandalous or specific.

I really don't know which has the most members at UT. But DKD is the one I've seen more frequently and who I've heard referred to as Deltas. Could be a coincidence and the other group though.

No, there is no ulterior motive here. Like I said in my original post, I do not know much about the Indian sororities, I've just heard of them. I'm sure they're all wonderful ladies. I am not a part of either organization, nor any other sorority, and I have no doubt that they wouldn't condone recruiting like this if that were what I was doing.
