What is your opinion on white people joining d9?
So I’m a white girl and coming up this is a chance of me joining Zeta Phi Beta in the future. Backstory: I learned about d9 from my friend, before I didn’t know anything about D9. She has alway wanted to become part of Zeta Phi Beta. Two years ago when talking about it I said how I liked D9 and the stuff I’ve learned about all the fraternities and sororities. Somehow in it I got convinced to cross if either of us ever gets a chance. Now there might be a chance and a chance we can do it together, I’m starting to feel weird. I feel weird about being a white girl wanting to join a historical black sorority. I have met a very few white zetas so that makes me more comfortable. My friend has reassured me that there are white zetas and that white people can join. She has family that are and they say it’s okay to join. I guess I just have a fear that if I do I’m going to be looked at as another white person trying to take something that is not theirs and making it theirs. Since learning and doing more research I get stuff of people saying these stuff. I also get Zetas that are welcoming and saying that everyone can join, no matter race. I don’t want to come off like I’m trying to make something that isn’t mine and making it mine. If people feel that way then I’ll step back. I guess I’m just asking what people think? And do you think it’s okay for me to possibly join?
