AKA confession.
I don't know where to begin. It all started 4 years ago when I was a senior in high school. I became obsessed with Alpha Kappa Alpha and began studying up on it. All the women I looked up to (My grandmother, my Aunt, friends) were AKA's. I saw them doing volunteer work and staying "pretty" at the same time and I admired that. All of the K's I knew were smart, sophisticated and nice. I wanted to be apart of this. The more information I got the more obsessed I became. I found sacred items such as a badge I bought online, access to ritual books, secret passwords etc. I found out what the motto stood for. I even forged a fake badge after gaining access to the website and attended Boule. I was in deep. I felt like a fraud yet I still felt accomplished. I had put in my own personal work and didn't feel the need to actually go through with the proper procedures. By my second year of college I became less obsessed but still interested. I became friends with the AKA's and finally put in my bid. As I went through the rituals I felt horrible. Because I already knew. When I received my badge I felt like a creep because I already had one. I have finally gotten over my obsession but remain a financial member. I will never forget the many hours I spent reading about AKA and finding out secrets I should not have known yet. This is my anonymous confession.

Oh MAN... doesn't this belong on another website somewhere? Isn't there one that's for confessions? I think I read about it a while ago, when someone confessed to murder or something of the sort, maybe??? Or am I making this up?
ETA: oh, nevermind.

You were a perp.
You are now a legitimate member.
Not common, but you're also not the first.
By now, you also realize that the ritual secrets are just one percent of the membership experience. It is now up to you as a financial member to do your penance to the sorority, even (and especially) if nobody else finds out.
1) Remain financial for the rest of your life. THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. You stole secrets from this organization and barged your way into places where you were not welcome. Don't you dare EVER think about becoming inactive. You wanted it so damn bad, now work for it.
2) You also have no excuse not to answer the call to service. Go to every chapter meeting, every conference, every convention. You wanted to be a member SO bad.... then be an ACTIVE member. Serve on committees. Be responsible for programs. I would suggest that you run for office, but I think you should feel too sorry for yourself to ever even consider having your sisters vote you into a position of power, authority, or responsibility.
You wanted it this bad, then you have the rest of your life to earn it properly, because you certainly didn't earn it the way you got it.
That's all I got.

You've given your name elsewhere on GreekChat, which means not so anonymous.
