I am a Delta. I am also in (financial and active member of) Delta.
It is only as creepy, excessive, and obsessive as people make it. Saying I am a Delta doesn't make me an alien or demon spawn who has been taken over by my sorority. How I perceive and receive Delta has changed since I was a collegiate Soror. I now have a greater sense of self and identity than I (and most) had in my 20s.
Yes, aspects of my identity changed when I became a Delta or it contextually changed. It is the same as anything else that even partly changes us once becoming a member. Some people may have considered me more fun or deserving after I became a Delta but that goes for anything that can shape people's perception of us. Nothing new.
