UT (Texas) minority in "white" sorority

I pretty much assumed her posting here was a calculated move to steer Indian and other South Asian women away from NPC recruitment and into other options..

In that case, her username is even more interesting.

Especially since her claim that Indian women are not given bids by the NPCs at Texas and there was only one Indian woman in any of the groups during rush 2008. It's just not true and I call ulterior motive on this one.

This is a good thread afterall.

Please tell us more.

Details! Popcorn!

The plot thickens! I missed GC.

I just think it's odd that someone with a user name that implies association with an Indian interest sorority comes here the day before fall recruitment convocation to make one post that tells Indian women that they have no chance of getting a bid in an NPC sorority (or at least a "good" one.) Because that simply is not the truth.

Sidebar: Is Delta Kappa Delta larger than Delta Phi Omega at UT? That was the first organization I thought of.

I love when people say "I didn't get a bid because of _________" and then say something like that. Assholery is an equal opportunity employer, people.

OMFG!!! I almost spit out Diet Mt Dew on my screen over this response! Assholery!

I guess it's all about frame of reference. Her username screamed Delta Diva, as in Delta Sigma Theta, to me.

You have to give us something more exciting than that, though.

Indeed i was
As far as DKD vs. DPO: DPO has more chapters and are more geographically diverse.
DKD is fairly large and pretty well known among Indians at UT, especially since they are dry (no alcohol ever) which appeals to those not looking for that scene.

With that being said,
DeltaIVA: if there is an ulterior motive, I personally know the DKD Gamma(UT) chapter president (total sweetheart), several founding alumnae, and heck chapter members. Oh and in case you are DPO, I know several alumnae with great pull and past national council members there too. Be careful as to how you come across, as i'm sure the organizations wouldn't condone this type of recruitment.

And just in case i'll save a copy of this thread.

As far as the first part, I know that. I was referring to the bold

Thanks.

I find it odd that someone who isn't in a NPC, (probably)NHPC, or one of the two big Indian at UT sororities has a Delta in their name. If I wasn't in a GLO I wouldn't put a greek letter in my username (unless your name is Delta, but still)....

idk what some people are thinking.

Ha ha. No, nothing more scandalous or specific.

I really don't know which has the most members at UT. But DKD is the one I've seen more frequently and who I've heard referred to as Deltas. Could be a coincidence and the other group though.
