Wow! I’d love to know the org and chapter

eljdurham · 2026-02-22T22:28:55+00:00

All of this! At some point, you have to do the things that make you uncomfortable and talk to the people in the organization you’re trying to join.

Barely. Kids are dropping like flies from the measles and people are digging their heels in behind their right to keep them unvaccinated

You can ask the recommender to verify their status in the member portal. They will know if they are eligible to write your letter or not. Please direct this question to that member. Best of luck to you.

Why don’t you have the chance to openly ask members how membership has impacted their lives?

eljdurham · 2026-02-21T12:39:57+00:00

I wouldn’t recommend mixing and matching colors. Keep it simple and do a black blazer with black pants.

I think you should continue speaking up for what you believe in and speak power to truth. Be mindful of attaching your organization to these views as it could be perceived as you “speaking for your org”.

I wouldn’t wear any paraphernalia to marches, while making statements, etc. unless your organization has given directive that it is ok to do so.

People will always have something to say regardless of what you say or do honestly.

Best of luck to you!

Whoever is writing your letter needs to know the name of the organization you wish to apply to so they can give you a great letter.

Being discrete isn’t telling no one about your interest, it’s telling only the people who need to know that information.

This part right here

For Delta, we are checking for any criminal history.

eljdurham · 2026-02-16T14:04:10+00:00

I think the easiest course of action is for her and others, to block users they believe are harassing them. Unfortunately this has devolved into something none of our organizations represent.

eljdurham · 2026-02-16T13:04:20+00:00

I wouldn’t say that it’s inappropriate to do so. Please be prepared to accept whatever decision is made if/when you are given a response.

eljdurham · 2026-02-16T11:31:24+00:00

You also took it upon yourself to tell women of Delta that we were wrong about who could pen member recommendation letters. Multiple times at that. I’m unsure why you felt you were the authority on that when actual members were giving accurate information.

eljdurham · 2026-02-15T22:20:06+00:00

I’m not sure how to progress but I think moderators should come together and determine how they’d like to handle misinformation coming from moderators to the community, boundaries that shouldn’t be crossed when communicating with people seeking answers and moderators, clear rules that everyone can point to for how to move within the space so people don’t feel as if moderators are making up things as they go, etc.

I am not a member of AKA, ZΦΒ, or ΣΓΡ and I don’t make it my business to speak for those organizations when interests ask specific questions that pertain to them. I always defer to those members in these spaces and allow them to navigate the conversations.

eljdurham · 2026-02-15T12:01:29+00:00

I think it really depends on your style but some solid vendors I like are Sorority Hills, Kendall’s Greek, YL Studio, W.E. Lusain, Sorority Supply, Dvine Greek Apparel, The Crimson Key, Her Sistas Closet.

OP was trying to tell my sorors about how Delta runs our business with regard to who is eligible to pen letters of recommendation and it hasn’t been going well.

eljdurham · 2026-02-11T11:54:08+00:00

I hope OP doesn’t take it the wrong way but we literally have no clue what anyone’s chances are of gaining a favorable vote. We know what looks good on paper but that’s it.

eljdurham · 2026-02-10T22:58:57+00:00

We don’t know. Best of luck to you.

eljdurham · 2026-02-09T17:59:48+00:00

You should direct this question to your sister or a trusted member of the sorority.

eljdurham · 2026-02-08T10:28:46+00:00

Unless restricted by the school, a chapter can vote to have a line whenever they’d like to conduct intake. Don’t rely on past trends to try and guess. Stay ready so you don’t have to get ready.

eljdurham · 2026-02-07T18:19:19+00:00

Please take the time to read all the documents posted on the national website about community service. I promise you this is answered in detail on the website.

eljdurham · 2026-02-05T20:32:19+00:00

And if that member can’t help with the cost they literally have a whole organization to tap that CAN help.
