It hasn't changed my mind, I'm still gonna pledge what I want to pledge. To me, both the sororities are the same and they do the same thing. If u look on both their websites they both basically have the same five target areas. They both support the black community and education and diseases that affect us. The difference is only in how they do this. Neither one is better that the other. So why do more women pledge DST in your opinion?
it could b just me, but i didnt read a part where anyone assumed they would get into any sorority....most people say pledge when they thinkin bout going for a sorority, itz not that serious...imma need for u to calm down....
and to try and answer ur question 'guest' i kno here at howard the DST r more active, or at least more represented everywhere, so thats y they r more appealing to me at least...they r the only sorority i kno for sure exist here lol (besides the step show of course)
OK, I'm all confused now. Everybody's going back and forth and I don't know who is saying what but anyway, instead of everyone fussing about this person NOT doing her research, why don't you tell her, and me because I'm interested, the appropriate way of going about starting research on black sororities? I, as well as plenty others, already know about the Divine Nine book, and when I go on to the national websites, I don't find much information, just a little. Other than those two sources, I don't know where to go. So, maybe you guys can give us some tips on how to do our research.
To HU_honey, thanks for giving me your opinion I appreciate it.
FYI, ^^^^I don't want to change my friends mind. I mentioned all my friends wanting to JOIN DST because to some degree it shows the first impression of students of the different sororities. The other two aren't on yard. I respect their decision and we are always going to be friends. Everything that I have wrote is my observations at my own school. I really think everyone here has misdunderstood me, are missing the point, and/or just don't care. The AKAs are overlooked on my campus. If you only heard the things I hear concerning them. All I want to do is change the way students currently perceive them. This board wasn't really for greeks because ya'll have a tendency to be biased and sensitive. No one on this board except for honey has given any insight as to the current situation on my campus. It is strange the AKAs themselves don't seem to be bothered that the top female leaders at my school JOIN DST. I would think that for those of you who haven't graduation you would want to be confident with the ladies you leave representing your organization. I know females who want to JOIN AKA but their school's chapter is inactive and no graduate chapter will pick them up. Would you want that to be the future of your chapter? But anyways, think you all for your comments. They didn't help much with my concern, but I have learned alot about the personalities and attitudes of greek woman. It's okay though. No hard feelings. I'll have to figure it out on my own. I hope you're all around this time next year.
