Soror ChAKAlate:
I regret that you feel PERSONALLY offended by my opinions, but just like yours, they are mine and I would hope they would be respected as such. My comments weren't directed at women currently in the sorority, since the original question dealt with women who are interested in attaining membership while pregnant (the parenting part came later).
Since I have only had influence over the entrance into the sisterhood of a small number of women, I regret that somehow my words were taken as the gospel truth and/or official policy of Alpha Kappa Alpha. As many a soror, including myself, has stated on this thread, the ultimate decision lies with the women in the chapter in which a candidate seeks membership.
About the double standards concerning men, I'm sorry that you feel that anyone on this board was perpetuating a double standard. Actually, I never addressed them because this thread wasn't about them.
As far as I'm concerned, we can agree to disagree and call it a day. If you'd like to correspond more about this, please email me.
DG
