OK, I'll put myself out there...
First of all: For me it has to do with identification. I am (1) a separated mother of 2, (2) a full time IT contracts administrator, (3) a full time student (seeking undergrad membership), (4) 34 years old (you're never to old), (5) active in my community, which is community service AND raising healthy and respectful children.
Second, In the course of a day, my Delta role models do more than that and do it well...When I was younger (18), I used to hear that it was 'hard to be a Delta'...16 years later and I'm finally starting to get a clue about what that meant!
Third, while I can appreciate that the other NPHC sororities are also committed to service, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. best exemplifies the goals that I've set for myself and the committment that I've made to my community. I am definitely from the school of thought that if you're not part of the solution, then you're part of the problem. My observation is that Delta does not pay lip service to ANYONE. I have seen these ladies out there DOING what others merely suggest. If you are like-minded, who wouldn't want to fellowship and serve with Delta?
That's it. I hope no one was offended by my post in any way. I'm at work so please excuse the typos!
