Ask Not what DST can do for you, but what can YOU do for DST ?????

As I was reading through the threads, it came to my attention that no one really said what THEY could do for Delta. Some went on and on about why they chose DST , yet no one really said why DST chose them, or what they can offer to DST.

I feel as if a member of the Illustrious organization approached me and asked me what can I offer, we'd be talking ALL day ! lol
So I will go ahead and say "What I can do for DELTA"!

(Why DST )~I can(Hopefully) and will seek to be a great asset to Delta. When asked why DST, many will say "volunteer work". That is one MAJOR part of Delta, yet it's not the only thing Delta stands for. So I will simply say , for me, I chose Delta for a numerous amount of reasons. But if I could sum it up (which would be hard to do in just one word), I would say "Growth and Maturity". I cannot say that I have Deltas in my family, nor can I say I want to be like a Delta. Deltas do not emulate or want to be like anyone. So therefore I have to start from scratch when it comes to wanting to join this Illustrious organization. I am currently a sophomore in college and I attend Delta functions/events as much as possible(even in freezing weather lol). There was an intake this past month and I found myself debating the topic of whether to particpate in the MIP. I came to the conclusion that I am not ready. I am not a fit candidate for DST at this moment. I want to be a scholar when I attempt to cross the sands into DeltaLand. The 22 founders of Delta were scholars ! I am at a pretty stable position in my college career, yet I feel as if there is more to offer. I am working diligently to exceed the expectations of DST. I don't want to be a mediocre candidate, I want to a dynamic candidate. Delta does not need mediorce women, so therefore, my journey to become apart of DST has not ended, but has merely begun.

(What Can I do for DST) I am and continue to be an intelligent, diligent, persistent woman. I think that I can be a dynamic asset to Delta(when the times comes). I will work hard to keep the fire burning on the paths that the founders have blazed and continue to be a leader who follows directions. I am not and will not be a follower , however I am a leader who can make my own decisions and listen and take(follow) directions from other great leaders before me. I love to give back to my community, especially the black community. I am an advocate for the develop of our political and health issues around us, & DST makes it known that they are concerned with these issues as well. My light is lit bright with confidence and determination to become a member of DST. I have shown my maturity by waiting for MY time to be invited in. I have not and will not rush it. I am pleased with the decision that I have made to sit this MIP out and wait for the next, where I will be ready and willing to do all the things the founders have set out for me to do. Work hard knowing the need for educational & economic development, service mankind by getting people involved with the political and international issues around us, carry out the 5 point thrust, providing education, assistance, support throughout our communities, & being an advocate for physical & mental health development. So what can I offer DST? Growth and Maturity, continence of the 5 point programmatic thrust, and using these goals to make new paths for the development of our future .
