Hello World,

As some of you may know, yesterday, my beloved sorority, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Incorporated, celebrated our 103rd Founders Day! And in honor of our sorority, our local newspaper, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution newspaper is celebrating our sorority all week long! Today, my road to Delta is featured on its website…

Below is the beginning…

My introduction to black Greek collegiate culture was the same as many of us who grew up in the ‘1990s, the golden age of black pop culture.

I tuned into “A Different World” week after week as a high school student. I remember the episode when Whitley pushed too hard while pledging her roommate Kim, who was attempting to be initiated into her sorority.

Whitley’s drill sergeant attitude backfires when Kim and the rest of the pledges simultaneously stop taking orders from her. In the span of the 30-minute sitcom, they, of course, work out their differences, becoming not only sisters in friendship but sorority sisters. Read the rest of the story on myajc.com.

Any thoughts?
