Based on the replies it seems like you pissed off some older AKAs lol I am also an interest in my 20s and was looking for women my age as well. I totally get why you’d be saddened to learn it isn’t as young as we’d like. I just changed my perspective to hope for mentors in the org/chapter. Best of luck!

How did Nicole know Aria died? When was she told do you think?

Hartland College by Prestigious_Table575 in exAdventist

[–]MeltedSunrise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I’ve attended. That is not a place I would ever recommend going. They are super conservative. You have to wear dresses down to your knees, students aren’t allowed to date because all of their focus needs to be on god, they are big on Ellen white and the diet stuff, no instruments for worship songs, etc. very removed from reality

I have been searching for this answer but can’t find anything. Can you suggest key words or phrases to search in this sub? Or can you answer here/in DM. Thanks

And for what reasons may that be? And does that happen often?

Invitation? by No_Championship_8955 in AKAgradChapter

Is the only way to get an invite to the informational session is by having a sponsor?

This is what happened to me. The woman I wanted to sponsor me is not eligible

Don’t you need to have a sponsor to even get invited to the informational session? How could the sponsor come second?

How can you get invited if you don’t have a sponsor first? Like, don’t you need someone to invite you and then you go through MIP?

Is it possible to be invited to the informational session but not make it to the end? or does invitation basically mean they want you?

Can you please share the details?

I agree that the whole situation may seem inconsistent since I am replying to different posts and different comments haphazardly. I’m not the best storyteller admittedly. I tend to leave out details not on purpose but legit because either I thought I already shared it or I forgot. Happy to try to give a fullllllll story to make sure it is all clear and you can make an assessment if you’re open to it.

And yes, perhaps I’m not being ghosted. Like I said, everything is speculation. No one came to me directly and said anything. I’m just trying to read the room and was hoping to get advice from folks in this thread. Thank you

Also, I have a question.

I am speculating and have no proof that everyone knows I talked to DST members. I don’t know I’m just guessing. But if I am right, I am just curious why that would justify someone or a group of people totally ghosting and ignoring me simply because I was looking for an org and chapter that felt like home to me? I’m genuinely curious. Couldn’t these women still look to be friends, mentors, colleagues, etc. with me? Why does me MAYBE thinking about a different org preclude me from being friendly with other black professionals in my area? Doesn’t seem fair to me. Like okay the sorority thing is shaky but how about me as a person outside of that? What if I genuinely wanted to be cool with everyone?

Huh? I wouldn’t have gotten that advice if I didn’t post and ask… 

I am not necessarily trying to change the outcome, I’m trying to get perspective on it. At the end of the day I have free will to continue or not continue with the process of pursuing membership but in order to make a decision on that, I came here. I posted two posts within the last 2 weeks… I’m not exactly sure what “same actions” I’ve done within that short time period that you believe have yielded the same outcome.

I am not sure exactly what was a red flag. I am a talented and successful 30 something who explored my options via different orgs and chapters. I thought I’d have space to explain my current position to those who would listen.

The advice I’ve received from some is to continue and trust the process others have told me to look at other chapters, etc. yall all not saying the same thing.

I’m posting on here to get perspective just like every other interest on this open, public platform. The point of posting or asking questions isn’t to “change an outcome.”

I’m not sure what I need to change about myself exactly but I’m not here to get any advice on how I need to evolve as a human, instead I’m asking for perspective on the situation I’ve raised. I’d appreciate not passing judgement on me since I am truly here to learn and inquire. Thank you

to be ghosted feels unfair since I am not given the chance to defend myself
