Delta Fares

Is there anything else that I need to know before approaching a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc?

I am currently in my third year at college. During my freshman year I was able to maintain a GPA of 3.4 while keeping leadership positions in clubs on campus. I also applied for the Resident Assistant position, and that summer it was granted to me. During my Sophomore year, (in fact the 3rd month) I lost my rock - My Grandmother. She was very ill, but her death took the ultimate toll on me. I lost my will to keep up with my school work and my GPA suffered. I took it upon myself to step away from the distractions of the over involvement in extracurriculars and focus on my academics. I am now in my 3rd year...and midterms have passed. So far I am excelling in all of my courses. I am sure that my GPA will improve. I am now easing my way back into my involvement in Campus activities, and programs. I have always been interested in Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated... but it wasn't until my second year that I realized how important it was to do research. For the past year I have been trying to learn and remember as much as I can about the sorority and the chapter on campus. I know the members on campus (and they know me). I have been to an Informational and numerous programs, but I have not made an individual effort to express my interest one-on-one. My biggest fear is not knowing enough when approaching them (even though i've studied so much). I believe that anything worth having is worth working for. And I am willing to handle whatever is given to me as best as I can. I have also been passionate about community service for as long as i can remember (especially when it comes to helping our younger generation). I truly want to be able to better serve the community and promote academic achievement through the ties of this sorority. I have never been interested in any other. To sum up my point & Question. I would like to know if there is anything that an interest would need to know before approaching a member, other than the history of the org. and the chapter, and the founders, and the Greek Alphabet??? And based on my brief story does it seem like I have a chance? Or am I thinking waaayy to hard about it all, and I should just go for it?! ((All Comments are Greatly Appreciated, and I hope this post can help someone else one day =~] ))

1. 1) When you're in line, you're going to get hazed... 2) As long as you can afford membership dues, you should be qualified. 3) Isn't there a certain time (the rush I think it's called) when you're supposed to officially try to join? I don't know that much about sororities, but I don't think they would function too different from the frats. Peace
2. Just be yourself. No need to join any wanky mobs, whilst you are at Uni
3. = ] i wanna pledge for the Deltas too (im onlhy a jr. in hs) but im gonna become a Delta GEM umm i would just say do a lot of community service and be open to trying new SAFE things
