X-DST’s Influencing Aspirant. Minerva Worship?????

“Thank you so much for the Email. You have had a big influence in m(y) decision not to pledge.” Aspirant

I received an e-mail from minister Hatchett regarding your questions about DST. I denounced Delta Sigma Theta in 2006 by writing an official letter that I had to get notorized asking for removal. As a young collegiate, I thought I wanted the acceptance of the women in the organization. I was attracted to the affirmation all the greeks on the yard gave each other, the status associated with being a member, and I wanted a sisterhood to belong to.

Well, I was hazed. I was slapped, bruised, bloodied, and betrayed (by my “line-sisters”). I realized that the expereince bred nothing but hatred and corruption, and in my heart I realized that this was not what I anticipated. I struggled for about 4 years trying to make the most of it and still be a member, I went thru a roller coaster ride of wanting to be a Delta and not wanting to be involved… Many members of BGLOS have a surreal experience that empowers them with a false sense of pride, and they make potentials believe that they are strong willed people when they allow themselves to be subjected to hazing.

BUt just think, would any normal person allow these things to be done to them in ordinary circumstances if they had any dignity? WOuldn’t we be ready to press charges against an employer if they required these things of us–this blind submission, physical and verbal abuse, needless spending of our money for their gain?

No one forces you to be hazed, you have to decide to be …but if you want to be 100% in that organization, hazing is the only way to avoid controversy. That is why so many people subscribe to it. It takes a much stronger person to walk away with self assurance enough to say, this is not for me, this is not of GOd, no matter how much they say they believe in God and are built on Christian principles. YOu must read between the lines. The sorority/fraternal system is built on pretentious characterisitics, and to do good for the community is the responsbility of every Christian—one does not need to belong to a group of people to carry this out if they are serving God genuinely…community service is the mask and underneath lies a bogus system that promotes elitism, self worship, hero worship, and blind allegiance…people who slap each other on the back and pump up each others’ egos…they are weak people who want the affirmation of others to feel valued…PERIOD. God’s afrirmation is all you need…

Many people are intoxicated by these types of social relationships, and the sad part is that there is so much corruption that gets covered up that the Christian Principles they brag about publicly are being privately forsaken…

God never intended for me to be a part of this type of culture…in my youth I thought as a child, but when I came of age, spiritually speaking, I had to put away childish things, and God did not want me to partake in the nonsense–DST was a childish thing I had to put away…furthermore, the love of Christ is far from what they practice, their love is very conditional–it is “moblike”–do what they all do and you are one of them…there is hypocrisy in their ranks because as soon as you have been deemed a skater because you have decided not to subject yourself to the foolish behaviors that hazing warrants, you are an outcast even though you are a legal, card carrying member, and others who have been brainswashed by hazing will still harrass you even unto the point of taking off your organizational paraphanelia — this is not unity, this is not love, this is snide, this is hatred, and in the kingdom of God, you do not get mistreated for standing for honesty…in DST, when my line collectively dropped, we were persecuted for not going thru with hazing…which, by the way is an illegal activity that DST publicly denounces, yet so many members partake in , young and old, knowing it is illegal but still revering its beguiling necessity inorder to be a “real” member –so they are also an organization of LIES, and Satan is the father of lies….Period…Furthermore, they accredit Roman/Greek goddess as being their guiding light, she is attributed with being the purveyor of wisdom for the organization, she is donned on the official seal, and although they give her symbolic credit only, they pay homage to her, and Christian Principles should tell them that the beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord…Minerva is a goddess from a pagan culture, and DST operates off of an internal belief system that Minverva is integral in…as you pledge you are hosted by the Minerva Circle when you are a pyramid, and these are 14 members who are deemd as wise, intelligent (as they wear the name of Minerva Circle) just the same as a Christian is supposed to wear the traits of Christ when we wear His name….you decide for yourself if this is a form of worship but in my book it is … what would I tell God on judgement day when asked about giving Minverva credit for being the goddess of wisdom…

This entire culture is not God’s way, and it is disguised by good acts of community service, charirty and all the stuff that people think are so wonderful for humanity…but the bottom line is that these individuals do these deeds to get the glory for themselves, they do not do it to give God the Glory…

Don’t let your heart be troubled, God has better plans for you, and He is not the author of confusion…continue to seek true wisdom not borne of an organization, but born of GOd, read the Bible to fill you with what you need to know.
