Joining Another Organization
I recently crossed a business fraternity. I am an African American female. As soon as I started wearing my letters, people (some greek some not) have been talking about me saying I am a sell out or teasing me about it saying it is not a real GLO. For those who do not know Delta Sigma Pi is a Professional Business Fraternity organized to foster the study of business in universities.
Things People have said to me
"You keep wearing your jacket like those letters mean something"
"Why would you join that, you couldn't get into a NPHC org"
"Yall the next NU PHI PSI"
"Yall get wood"
Now I am not ashamed of my organization in any way shape or form I just want to know if it is an issue for you and if so why? If I tried to pledge a NPHC would you hold this against me?
I would hope instead of laughing and down playing me, you would be proud of me trying to better myself and advance myself in my career Especially this early in my college career. I stepped outside of my box and comfort zone by pledging was not easy. I am just disappointed that my own people are down playing and talking about me instead of uplifting and congratulating me.
