I'm openly lesbian and I want to pledge Delta Sigma Theta, how will my life style affect my pledging?

Answer 1

The pledging process has nothing to do with sex, so I don't see how your sexuality would affect your pledging process.
Also, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. doesn't discriminate on any basis, so your sexuality shouldn't be an issue.
But to be real, sexuality is a controversial subject in America right now (and always has been really), and some people are more open minded than others. I have a lot of gay friends and I've been with a girl before, so I am more open minded about it than others. You never know, just be cool and don't let your sexuality define you and I'm sure you'll have no problem. My advice to anyone who wants to pledge Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.: Make sure to be very active in the community, esp in public service. Go to programs put on by the chapter you are trying to join to get to know the Deltas. During and after the programs, approach us, introducing yourself so we can get to know you. (make sure you don't brown nose, Deltas hate that.) Just make sure that you are bring something to the organization, Delta doesn't make its members, its members make Delta.

Answer 2

Is that a regular sorority? Like, not an honor society or something?

I had a friend who pledged a sorority and during her "hazing", they made her masturbate in public and do some girl-on-girl activities. So that wouldn't be much of a shock, I guess (ha!)

As far as the dating...if you don't mind having some male escorts or whatever, then you should be fine going to sorority parties that are all about hooking up with guys...well, you know what I mean. Your social life won't be crimped, but it won't be what you want. As far as I can tell, sororities are all about girl friends and guy sex. Not girlfriend sex. I suppose you could do what you want in your spare time...but if you get involved in everything you're supposed to, you're gonna be awfully busy doing a lot of hetero stuff.

I don't know that you'd be bonding that well with straight girls if you're not doing all the wild hetero sex stuff they do. Kinda like when I was playing rugby--I didn't drink or go to the parties and I felt like I was missing out on a lot of the culture and bonding through shared experiences and stuff.

I think I'd feel kinda the same way as a straight woman in a sorority--I didn't want all the drinking and debauchery because it's not my style and it would make me uncomfortable. So it's not so much the sexual orientation, I think you'd be irked at the fact that you didn't have as much in common with the straight chicks.

If this is an honor society, then read this as information only and not as some kind of expose on sexy smart people organizations. Which would be nice, but I think they're mythical.

Answer 3

If they are as open and accepting as they claim to be, your lifestyle shouldn't affect your pledging. You are a grown woman; what you do is your business and shouldn't even be a factor in you pledging. Talk to women who are already in the sorority and see what their take is on the situation... we may soon be sorors because I plan to pledge DST as well!

Answer 4

OOoohh Kkkay...1. Good for you girl, my Aunt is in that group and my Sister's an AKA...2. Be ready to blow their minds, prepare yourself, learn what you have to, be sharp with yours...make them feel like "this girl is on her toes, she got her p's and q's down, she is about her business...WE WANT HER ON OUR TEAM. I doubt that will effect anything, but just in case it does, stay on top of your game and there will be no choice but to overlook that and see the determined, sister who wants to be part of their sisterhood. Do the thang!! I really don't think it will because sorority's and fraternity's were created by black people for the betterment of black people, so I doubt this will be too scrutinized. Stay positive & stay up.

Answer 5

why should it matter? does your sexual preference define you? i hope that is not all you are...just be a nice person who you prefer to love doesn't matter.
