All of a sudden, after you cross, people want to be your best friend...do I know you?

Maybe you had a stank ass attitude before and they didn't want to speak. Maybe wearing letters made you more approachable so they can talk to you about their interest. Maybe they just felt like saying hi that day. That doesn't make it seem like they want to be your best friend. Some of you act like since you are Deltas now, that someone speaking to you or congratulating you is a freakin sin. Get over yourselves.....You probably did the same thing when you were prospects!

It' looks like Haterade is back on the market.

I'm hating because people act like they are above someone who merely SPEAKS to them? That makes NO sense...

Now seeee. Why are you guys acting up? LOL.

With all do respect and I do mean that, and I am hoping that my reply will not piss anyone off because that is definitely not my intention. But why is it a problem when someone goes up to a newly crossed Delta and congratulate her? Or whats wrong if a prospect approaches a Delta in a respectful way to inquire information about her organization? I mean i hear people say all the time that it's good to establish a relationship with a Delta if you are a prospect. I'm just asking questions for honest clarity. Im not askin them to offend anyone or like I stated before to piss anyone off. I honesty just want to know. OR if it something I will never understand unless I become a Delta then i understand. Thanks.

I do not see your question as disrespectful. A lot of times, folks come out the woodwork to congratulate that before when I was just Carla the student, president of Concerned Black Students, resident of whatever dorm, etc. etc. they would not speak and would even go so far as to say they did not like me, but when I became a Delta and that is where their interest was, they tried to get buddy buddy. THIS DID NOT HAPPEN to me but it happens quite a bit.

If you and I are cool or our contact was limited and you approach me after I became a Delta and congratulated me, THANKS but some folks take that congratulations and try to sneak on in.

I am typing in a rush and probably not being very coherent.

Put it like this, suppose you won the lottery and not just like $1000 but like MILLIONS and all of a sudden you get all sorts of cousins, aunts, uncles, long lost sandbox friends, like HEEEEEEEEEY GIRL!!!! and only because you are a millionaire, how would you feel!?!?!? That's how we as Greeks feel SOMETIMES and NOT ALL GREEKS when we cross over and folks approach and trying to be our sidekicks.

If it ain't real, keep it moving.

thank you and i totally understand and appreciate your response.

I think that the problem is, when there is a problem because most of the time there isn't, the way people approach you. Maybe it's just me but I can tell when folks are approaching me sincerely and when they aren't. A congrats is a congrats, I'll accept love from anyone but if we weren't super duper cool please don't act like you want to be best friends all of a sudden. It's hasn't been a MONTH since I crossed so I remember the need to ask questions of someone and again if it's done in the right way you won't get me to SHUDDUP about Delta cause it's special to me. But for example, this hasn't happened to me thank God, someone was to say congrats and oh by the way when y'all gonna take another line cause I can't wait to oo-oop? Well that's not cool. Plus I'll be real I don't know everything about Delta so there is some stuff I wouldn't be able to tell ya if you asked no matter how you asked it. I have yet to be offended by anyone and hope that I can keep in mind that asking a question isn't a bad thing from here on out. All I ask is some consideration about when ya asking, ie if I'm in the same class with you doing some last minute studying for this bear of an exam it ain't the right time to talk to me about Delta. Wait till after class when we both annoyed with the teacher and we got something else to bond over too.

I'm brand new also, still have sand on my feet, and I've been approached by many people. Boy, do I have some stories about that.
Anytime I wear 'nalia- which is like every single day as I have a severe case of neoitis- I just expect to have at least one person ask me about AKA. If I ever wake up and feel like I don't want to be bothered, I won't wear 'nalia. I haven't felt that way yet.
As far as people asking questions: I try to be really helpful if the person sounds sincere. I remember that the MAIN thing that stood out in my mind as an interest, was the way the members treated me. The ladies were always kind to me and very helpful and respectful. *winking at pinkivy08 and evaclear* That was one of the main things that made AKA stand out from the other orgs on my campus- the ladies were approachable and friendly to me. So I try to be the same way to people who approach me.
Now, don't get me wrong my LS' will tell you, I am VERY SERIOUS about AKA. So a person really has to be tight if they approach me. I feel like, as an interest, I was always tight, so be tight and on your game when you step to me. But I am never downright rude to anyone. I have people say stuff like "Ooh gurl, you a AYe Kaye AYe? How I cuh be one uh dem?" I politely direct tell them that it is necessary to go to COLLEGE or if they are in college I direct them to AKA1908.com and remove myself from the situation. But I try to be polite because I don't want to leave a bad taste in their mouth about AKA.
