Alpha Kappa Alpha Graduate Member Flipped Out...Why?

So I have a question for the members of Alpha Kappa Alpha.

I have just recently moved to a new state and I was speaking with a classmate a few weeks back about wanting to get involved in some community service. So she invites me to a community service event. I later found out it was an Alpha Kappa Alpha event, which was really fun. So anyway, the event ended and I was sitting, waiting to leave, and my friend strikes up this random conversation with one of the Graduate members. They spoke for about 15 minutes. My friend then pretty much told the lady that she was interested in the 'AKA' and she wanted to know what the next steps were from there.
I had no idea she was interested, and I'm thinking, "good for you" then the lady FLIPPED OUT. I mean she was clearly upset! She told my buddy that Graduate membership was by an invite only and that she would never become a memebr acting like this. Then she told her to never refer to her or her organization as 'AKA', and then she pointed to me and said if she wants to be a part of any Greek Organization then she needs to be more like me. (I was just sitting there not saying a word)
So my question is..why did she get so angry like that? If my buddy wants to join or whatnot how is she supposed to do so if she doesnt tell someone???? I am confused.

I feel charitable today!

QFP

Answer in short: DISCRETION!

Granted, I'd probably laugh at your friend and say "good luck with that", but she was lucky that is all she got. Why don't you ask your friend after you look up DISCRETION!

This thread will be locked, because I got it like that no matter what others think they know!
