Hey Y’all! Thanks for watching Tia’s testimony. 🙌🏽 If you want more information on the Delta rituals (and why God is calling His children out).. please watch this video: ruclips.net/video/7wxopqAG6Gs/видео.html Also, Please take a second to read this IN-DEPTH article entitled “Can You Be a Christian and Greek” www.outfromamongthem.com/_files/ugd/7c46f4_6b1a1c1acbb140949828fef0cc8554af.pdf
I will never forget walking out of line. They called me weak and all kinds of other names. I replied, "No, I'm the strong one. The weak links are the girls staying and allowing you all to humiliate them." I'm so glad I didn't complete the process. There's a reason for my big attitude. If you scream at me, I scream back. I always looked at sororities as a sisterhood. I quickly learned it wasn't. That was in 1996.
You were in an abusive Chapter - and your treatment was unethical and not in compliance of any Greeks initiation. Hazing and violence is NOT allowed - although many Chapters ignore that! Sorry you had such a unwelcoming and negative experience.!
All of this sounds wild!!! Imagine dropping your precious daughter off at college and she's getting groomed into strange cars, dirt roads, getting beat up, humiliated, degraded, risk death. All to be a part of a group. Seems like pimping!
Just a few reasons these associations will not be disbanded: many people draw validation from it; use its hierarchy as a social control mechanism, and network for career upward mobility.
@Switch Ur Notions, What I noticed is that, people on these reality tv shows, are members of frats and sororities, and even they, are used, by the networks, to push a certain political agenda. As well, local news casters, are members. They're everywhere. Wouldn't be surprised if they work in H.R. depts...
I loved this story. I denounced DST April 2nd, 2023 (ironically on the line I was on 14th anniversary). I looked up 14 biblicallly and it said deliverance and salvation 🙌🏽. This is not a knock on her story just a message. A lot of people harp on the pledging process and say “ oh I didn’t go through all of that” this is so much deeper than that. The origins of the D-9 has occult ties. The rituals, the covenant, the chants, all directly contradict the word of GOD. I was blind and a church member nonchalantly said to me, you know that is not of GOD when I told her I was Delta, but I did not want to believe her. Another church member prayed that I would come out of delta, but I never told her I was in delta, and I haven’t worn paraphernalia since college. She saw it in the spirit. I also was always distant of other members and did not participate much after college. It all made since after I decided to stop wrestling with what the Lord was telling me. I was groomed into it as a child, but I am grateful that GOD’s grace is sufficient.
I participated in a DST cotillion during high school & had plans of pledging when I got to college. I saw so much going on with others (physical abuse, verbal abuse, mental abuse, & listening to a young lady cry about being raped by one of the upper class frat brothers). I decided that I could never do it because I simply can't tolerate any level of abuse. I am glad you ladies are truly rising. I pray that people can hear the heart of this share & always choose self love over fake connections. Love & peace 😇
This is so great. I've been watching these videos for some time. The Greek life runs heavy in my family. My grandmom was a Delta, my dad a Kappa, a bunch of AKAs. I always wanted to pledge Delta in college and I had perfect grades, community service, and all but I was a big nerd and never felt "Black enough". I didn't make line and I was depressed for a few months. I ended up studying abroad and living abroad in my 20s and even when I came back to the states I pursued the graduate chapter in my city and didn't make it again. But the second time I felt at peace. I actually had a dream after I did my interview that I wasn't going to be accepted before I got the email. Maybe it was God. Thanks for these videos because they dispel so many things that people spend their lives seeking acceptance. I've learned to accept my nerdiness and quirkiness. I learned that these orgs don't define what Blackness is. I also wondered if those Greek affiliations in my family led to a lot of mental illness and trauma. I have never met many "sane" people in those orgs.
Wow! All I could think about when they say the work Greek was all the crazy stuff you study in school about Greeks. My dtr hated studying it. I never really thought about how crazy it was until she came home mad that she had to study it. You mention mental illness & trauma. This kind of thing opens you up to demon spirits. Lord, give us the spirit of discernment. We need it in this hour.
@@ronaprescott4007 Yup, I am one of the lone non-Greeks in my family. Most of my aunts and some cousins were Delta and I had an aunt who was high up in AKA a long time ago. I always thought that was the path but those rejections were a way to see that they were not of God. Evolution is hard, I think ultimately we need to question why we revere these orgs and what it means to the "Black" community. Maybe it's time to let it all go.
There is so much I can say here. Well, first, I want to say thank you for continuing this series. Each time I watch a denouncement video, instantly I think about my mother and two of my closest friends. But the one thing that stands out to me more than anything is how much this process resembles an abusive relationship. Why do grown women (especially pertaining to the experience that was shared at the end after a year of membership) delight in or find it appropriate to BEAT other women? Why would licks be associated with "jewels?" Everything shared aligns so much with the language used when one is in a toxic relationship and yet in the end this "trauma bond" links one to the sisterhood. It breaks my heart to know that relatives and friends participated in these activities when I know that outside of this world, they would not approve of doing this to get a job, join a church, become someone's friend. Honestly, it sounds like the same thing people have to do to join a gang. It just makes me wonder how anyone can say this process and these entities are based on Christian "principles." My God, Today!!! I have a cousin who has Lupus and other health impairments and she is a senior in college right now wanting to pledge Delta. She will not listen to her mother who has told her to let this desire go. Please pray for her. She wants to pledge so badly. It is daunting. Help us all, Father, for we have all fallen short of Your GLORY. Let us not continue to call that which is not of you as yours. Let us not continue to disrespect you with our lifestyles, our words, and our egocentric hearts. Let us honor you as LORD of our lives henceforth and forever more.🙏
Thank you ladies for being obident and talking about this issue. I too wanted to pledge Delta so bad. I went to Savannah state my freshman year , I couldn’t do it then because I had to be a sophomore. Sophomore year came, they were suspended 51:30 for hazing (sign number 1). I ended up transferring to another school but all of the deltas that were left graduated. Fast forward not even 3 months after I graduated undergrad, they came out with a line. I literally asked God out loud and ask him “Why wouldn’t you let me pledge?” And was led to a denouncement video and fell into a rabbit hole. I’m so thankful for Gods protection. I pray more of my brothers & sisters in Christ will take heed to the truth.
Thank you both for sharing. I did a testimony on my channel denouncing AKA. One of my closest Christian friends sadly just crossed Delta today. My heart is broken because I talked to her about this life but she has wanted to do Delta for so long that I think she ignored the obvious. I’m sad for her and my other friends as well who criticize and judge me. I hate that they don’t see what’s happening. I’ll be doing a follow up video of my life since then. There have been so many ups and downs and adjustments for me. Living a life for Christ is not for the faint of heart.❤❤
I love this video!!!! I grew up around the culture of Sororities and Fraternities where it is considered an honor. I was groomed and recruited by a family member from the age of 11-17. My family member was a member of AKA and had created a high school sorority. From the moment I was 11-13 the family member would reach out and try to prepare me and get me excited about joining soon as I went to high school. Soon as I made it into high school I was quickly initiated in through rituals, chanting a, singings , attire, hazing, and burnings of candles 🕯 even at that early age. My family was brain washed by the culture and thinking it would be a great opportunity for young teens to learn morals, keep grades up, and be successful. In reality, everything that I thought it was it was totally not. We were not taught how to have good morals, how to carry ourselves like respectful young ladies, and etc. When I went to college, I was going to join AKA and God protected me from this. I am soo happy that I didn’t. Thank you both for being obedient!!! I have burned my old sorority jacket and items and have renounced that pledge even though it was a little high school sorority.
I’m glad you shared this as I was in a high school sorority as well and was in the process of becoming an AKA in college but didn’t go through with it which I think was Gods grace. I have renounced the sorority in high school as well but was like do I need to publicly say that with it being a high school one lol
Also I recall even when they had us say the oath I remember thinking I’m not saying that lol and I literally stopped talking. Idk if I mouthed to make it look like I was talking or just out my head down but it’s interesting even then I was like uhhhh yea this ain’t that deep to be saying that
Thanks Tia for sharing your powerful testimony. Thanks Lala for your platform and allowing God to use you for such a time as this. I am an ex-AKA last weekend I informed my former linesisters that I’m no longer an AKA. I thank God for your obedience and watched both of your videos before making my decision to denounce. My pastor planted the seed many years before through a bible study series he taught about secret societies and how if you have to do anything in secret it’s not of God. Bless you both🙏🏾🙌🏾
I am also an ex-AKA. I denounced just last month. It's so refreshing to see many of us coming out of Greek organizations after learning God's truth. God is definitely calling back his sons and daughters.
Thank you for your boldness. This video will help a lot of people. I denounced AKA a long time ago but even 20 years later a temptation will enter my mind about it, especially when I relocated to a another city. Let it be known…My identity is in Jesus Christ and Him alone!
I love testimonies!! Our father is so clever and loving. He knows us and has a plan and purpose for our lives. He’s gentle enough to ask us for our YES, and when we come into agreement with him, at that point he can replace the strongholds with HIS love and Grace and our identity in HIM. We are set free in Christ Jesus!! All praise to the Most High!! God bless you ladies and your ministries!!
God is so good! I literally was talking to different sororities and thinking about joining. Very happy and excited to join and then this video pops up. Thank you ladies for this, I truly feel this is Gods warning for me not to join. I can’t imagine myself getting abuse by someone who says we are sisters. Glory to God for protecting us 🙌🏾❤️
@@LaLaJenkinsHey quick question. Would this apply to the professional Delta Sorority for Educators also? Just wondering cause I was considering joining one.
She has an amazing story...God took her through that journey so that her convictions would be strong...she has a powerful calling in God's kingdom...one thing I've gotten from this is that you CAN'T mock God♥️
@@Tia_Rock Tia as I was listening to your story....my college journey...went to a HBCU university was approached by a Zeta and Delta to join...but never followed up with me very secretive,mind you...I come from a family close to 20 divine9 members-mainly Deltas yes!!!...all secretive...I became a born again Christian at the age of 30,long story short...I see what what God was doing,he was shutting the door for me not to get involved with divine9-he had another plan....glory!!!
@@LaLaJenkins Mind you,there are close to 20!! divine9 members in my family...there has to be a God,he kept me away from all of it,was approached by a Zeta and Delta in college,never materialized
I been binging these videos for like the last week and they got me in a chokehold!! I never was in to Greek organization. They never really appealed to me but it’s so interesting just hearing the testimonies!!
This was such a wonderful testimony. God said, no to me joining Delta several times and I didn’t understand. Thank you to all the RUclipsrs for showing me why God said no. I am so thankful and grateful. Please pray with me to get my mother out. She is not active but she is still a member on books. Keep up the amazing job saving God’s children!💪🏾🙏🏾
I will be in prayer for your mom. I denounced Delta after 10 years of membership, and my husband denounced Omega after 30 years of membership. God is able, and at the appointed time (if your mom has eyes to see, ears to hear, and a heart ready to receive), she will come out, in Jesus' name!
That whole part about not remembering your process after coming out. Funny story is I pretty much can remember the underground stuff and set but I couldn’t remember ANY of the actual rituals we did in crossing. When I denounced delta, it all came flooding back in. It was like the scales LITERALLY fell from my eyes and the Holy Spirit began showing me what really happened. When sharing my testimony with people, I tell them all the time had anyone walked in and seen people in a CHURCH of all places wearing all black with an alter set at the front and people behind said alter in red robes and young women kneeling in all white it LITERALLY screams witchcraft! I was sick afterwards. But thank the Lord for deliverance! Amazing testimony! Praying that more will begin to have their eyes opened and come out.
I was drawn to this video not because of the content but because of the light the two of you illuminate through the screen. I pray God continues to bless and favor the both of you throughout your Christian walk. When I watch videos about Greeks denouncing I’m often curious of the standpoint of Christian Greek organizations whose purpose is to serve God but some of the same stories occur within these organizations too.
My daughter went to an HBCU that I won't mention but she went to rush filled out paperwork and she wasn't chosen. Shortly after that the whole chapter was suspended from the yard for hazing and at that moment she knew that wasn't God's plan for her. Different people that she knows have asked her to pledge Grad chapter but she always denies . Listening to you all speak that's not how you treat someone that you will call sister .
When people become angry and or defensive when told about others denouncing, that’s simply the stronghold on their lives manifesting. Thou shall have NO other Gods before me-even Greek ones! Praise YAH for him convicting me and removing me from my organization. Ironically, it was a video from a another young lady who denounced Delta that really sealed the deal for me. She posed this question: “If being in a sorority is about scholarship, community service, and other “great things” then why do you have to take an oath, be beaten, dehumanized, etc. just to do those things? That provoked a lot of thought and sent me on a journey to investigate the origins of the organization. I packed up everything I had and reached out to denounce in silence. The truth needs no consultation.
I really appreciate this video, love the transparency, the introspection and the connection to the Holy Spirit and the wisdom He gave you both to share with us. I actually considered pledging a major Greek Sorority but decided against it. I could never conflate nor make sense of somebody beating my behind, humiliating and abusing me - only to turn around and now say I love you and we're Sisters at the end of the pledge period!😳🤔😑 I considered Grad chapter because I was told it was a little better where that was concerned but I never had peace with it and your testimony here is everything explained!!! I have multiple Greeks in my family - Deltas, AKA's, Alphas, Kappas and Omegas. I have seen one family member so dedicated to the Greek organization they are a member of, it eventually cost them their marriage. I believe more people will be coming out of the Greek lifestyle as God continues to reveal more truth behind the scenes and uses His people to pull the scales off the eyes of His people and destroy the yokes of bondage through their deliverance and testimony. We just have to love each other through whatever paths our lives take us.💜 Go forward Sisters and may God continue to bless You, strengthen you and widen your territory!!!! Much love💯🙏🏽💜
Tia thank you for sharing your amazing story. I’m not a part of any organization but I’ve heard so much about people denouncing!! Praise God for the Holy Spirit and your ability to FOLLOW!
This is the first sorority video I have ever watched and tbh I never really knew anything about sororities. My daughter wants to go to FAMU next year when she graduates and now I’m worried this is something she may be exposed to or even wants to join. Normally when a video that I’ve never showed any interest in keeps popping up in my feed its a warning from God. I guess I’ll start praying and fasting…I’m very glad I took the time to watch this. I’m about to pay attention now. Thanks.
I'm so glad I'm hearing all these Delta. I attend an interest meeting my freshman year and baby when they was talking bout it's gonna take X amount of time Y amount of money. I was like I'm broke as hell for 1 secondly with my major I literally would have to miss my lab classes. These are core classes & I was already struggling. There was no way my parents was going to give me money to do something that took me away from class. So glad the stars aligned for it to not make sense at that time.
Thank you for this! I’m a rising sophomore in college and I was thinking about joining a Greek organization. God has been showing me your denouncing videos and calling me to look at the initiation process.
Oh wow, beautiful testimony! When she spoke about her dream where she was in the house 🏠 with one way in and one out… my Lord, a house in the dream represents your life, your body. ❤❤❤❤ LaLa I enjoy watching your videos!!! I’m not Greek or never been, but when I was younger I was drown to AkA, but later in life, it was revealed that type of lifestyle is not of God! Blessings to you!
When people join those organizations they are making pledges/oaths. Ask yourself, who are they talking to? Only God deserves our devotion, allegiance, love, peace and happiness. Can’t serve the true and living God and Greek Gods.
Loved this video 💖💖 I always wanted to pledge Delta but didn’t because of the hazing process and I was focused on my grades. The hazing diminishes the organization. I applaud her for her transparency.
You don’t have get hazed. You can control that. DST is against hazing. You can pledge but stand up for yourself. Roland Martin talks about him APA and was never hazed
I enjoyed every bit of this.❤️🙏🏾I am not/was not greek…almost tho! And when I really look back I finally realized (through wisdom and conviction) that God kinda did just about flip everything over so that I could not. For HBCU band greek sororities AND Pan-Hel. That’s one side of it for me. I am tho, a former member of Prince Hall Affiliated OES. And I can still remember when I really thought about “some things”, none of it sat well with me. It was subtle revelations, but mighty nonetheless. By the GRACE of God I did denounce/renounce/repent all of that years ago. Continue proving God’s voice and pulling off the veil of deception; if it is God’s will for my big mouth lol…I plan to join you two! Let God be true and EVERY MAN A LIAR!!!
This discussion was both insightful and enlightening. All Glory be to God that you found your TRUE identity in Him. Breaking others down or considering others in a diminished manner who choose not to be in an organization is both sad and shameful.
My badd! It looks like my initial comment did not post. So let's try this again... TIA..Grrrrl! GOD Bless you sis! Your story telling is 2nd to none! Your testimony is not only powerful, but your delivery of it is soooo passionate and authoritative. You TRULY command any space where you speak! And I can so relate to your saying that GOD used your son to really get your attention about denouncing because HE did the same for me with my daughter. I am grateful for you both and pray GOD's continued blessings over you and your families!🙏🏽
I’m really late to this post but I just want to say I went to UAPB with Tia and had a math class with her and she was really nice! Blessings to her and her family.
My daughter is a Sigma Gamma Rho girl. She was the only one online during covid19. She didn't have to go through any of that. Everything she went through was on the computer. All the modules 4 she had to do. So she had a very smooth transition into Sigma Gamma Rho. If she had gone through what you and other girls have gone through it'd be HELL to pay. I would go to her and start from the top and work my way down to the girls. The President/Dean of the schools know what is going on. The founders of those organizations I hope this is not what they had in mind when they started these sororities and fraternities.
Hi. Thank you for watching. It’s not just the underground (pledging) aspects that are an issue. It’s the rituals for aboveground as well. Please watch this when you get a chance: ruclips.net/video/rxTBDYxq-L4/видео.html
This testimony was SOOOOOOO GOOOOOOD!!! Tia is a wonderful storyteller!!!! I pray God continues to bless her and let any and everything she touches flourish!! 🙌🏾👏🏾🙏🏽🔥
Wow so good. Yes the fear is what keeps us bound. I am struggling with that now of losing friends but I know I will have to draw a line in the sand very soon about sharing my testimony more publicly. I have been denounced for quite some time from Zeta.
Our stories is so familiar from beginning to end. It was the dream that Yah Abba sent to me, that made me say. “I gotta leave Delta.” I cried and cried, but I let it go. And I burned all my nalia and ritual books. I still need to write my letter to nationals, to take me off the roster
Thank you Tia for that wonderful testimony. La La you are powerful and hilarious in Tia’s group testimony video. The jacket in the church “you tried it,” lol. Happy for you and the ladies testimony, pray and hope you all reach millions, glory to King Jesus. 1 Peter 3:15 👑
Hi former Sorors. My story is very similar. My mom and aunts are all AKAs but when I got to campus the Deltas had the highest G.P.A.s and held all the leadership positions at school. I was cool with a lot of them and fell in love with the organization when I researched it. I crossed at Clark Atlanta (Sigma chapter) and my experience was very similar to Tia’s. I’ve always said BLGOs should never “pre-pledge” anyone you wouldn’t vote on if rush was that day, it’s too much of a liability and it’s only done so people can go on power trips. And I am NOT a fan of physical stuff! We ran into the Sigmas (Chi Chapter) at Morehouse the night before we crossed too! I’m not ready to denounce the entire organization but I do understand some of the frustrations with the process and unsisterly things that can happen. A couple of my neos denounced within the past few years, but they’re still my sisters. I’m still trying to glorify God in everything that I do, including when I’m doing work in my now alumnae chapter. I also try to check myself to make sure I don’t make an idol out of Delta and spend more time working for it and not in prayer with God. Just continue to pray for me and my walk with the Lord. I’m working on my Christian RUclips channel now! It’s called “The Gospel According to A”.
Praying that you allow God to get the full glory in your life by coming out @Only1Adrienne❤️🙏🏾 It’s not by chance that you are watching this video. I denounced AKA after being a member for 20 years in 2020.
Your testimony is building. It is very important to recognize that on initiation night you came into covenant with a false god. The dark room, the robes (if applicable) the kneeling down at an altar full of the founders pictures and welcoming Minerva with your love and dedication beyond the grave ia not to be messed with. The initiation night looks a lot like what happens in witchcraft and other satanic groups while Doing rituals. Burning of the candles and one by one having to say that you agree ia how the enemy comes into your life and ia allowed to run free. Remember we cannot serve two masters even if while serving one (delta, aka or whatever) we say to ourselves that Jesus Christ ia Lord. You have to break the bond and covenant by writing a letter to your org certified and requesting out of the membership ‘. You need to denounce and renounce on paper and tell everyone you know. You know want little girls following you into witchcraft. It doesn’t stop there. Every chapter meeting you are saying the rituals again to make sure that you allow the enemy to reign in your life you’ve opened a door but Jesus Christ can slam it close and make you free. Before doing all of this you need to repent to Jesus Christ because many people feel weird the initiation night (although getting beat up or verbally abused for weeks didn’t feel right either) yet, you continued. This is why many people drop the line. God will reign fully in your life but ask Him to show you for real. These women don’t even want to be referred to as former soros, they want to show how Christ made them new creations in Him. Please also check out out from among them ministries. They are here on RUclips and people share how this is the first level type of entry into witchcraft. You did not stumble upon this awesome video to tell someone else congrats on leaving. You should leave as well and with the quickness. Let The Lord find us all without a spot or blemish upon His return. God bless you and I will start praying that you have the veil lifted very soon. You will be the leader of your line as the first to step Out of it and many will follow you.
@@equallyyoked1Your comment was beautifully shared. I often wonder how believers attend these meetings and repeatedly speak the chants, sing the songs, and say the prayers without conviction. My mother is 74 and went to a chapter meeting after not going for so many years. She said they kept talking about Minerva and the Minerva Circle and she leaned over to one of her sorors who is also one of her best friends from childhood and said, "Now, I don't know if I am going to be able to deal with this Minerva. Minerva and Jesus don't mix." It was so funny to me bc although she has all this paraphernalia and suitcases with the letters and/or the shield on them, she had forgotten about Minerva. But, she still has not denounced it. That is why I appreciate you breaking that down. Perhaps, it will ring a bell with others who stay in and fight what God is compelling them to do.💖
Wow! Just wow. Tia's story sounds so traumatic! I found this video b/c I was searching for bglo experiences with ls or lb...and reconnecting after many years. I'm on the fence b/c I had a few of mine reach out to me lately due to a milestone anniversary. One of them was problematic to say the very least, and is a hard pass, but I'm hesitant to reconnect with any of them really. I was looking for some perspective and found this bombshell. 💥Y'all gave me a lot to digest.
Ladies, thank you, thank you, thank you for this presentation. I had suspicious about these types of "organizations" as I hsve family members whos have joined. Than you both for bringing TRUTH to the light. ❤ 🎉
I denounced some months ago and have been dealing with a lot of similar things, dreams etc. I fasted and came to the answer to break every tie. However it has been exasperating to say the least. I was on a long line and only two of the "sisters" still speak to me. The rest I found out recently were talking behind my back and none reach out. I wasn't surprised because we honestly weren't so close but it hurts. I know God has a plan for me and I'm glad I got out sooner than later but I've never felt more alone on this planet. At least Jesus is with me in Spirit.
Praise Gid Hallelujah that both of you all denounced those demonic organizations. Praise Gid I am a Evangelist in Southern California and I congratulate both of you all. I hope that you never have to go through those horrible hazing situations ever again . Preach the Gospel sisters and Jesus Christ loves you and remember this Jesus Christ is Lord and King of Kings.
Shalom APTTMH so wonderful that these two daughters of The Chosen Tribe of Judah have obtained their wisdom to denounce Esau's garbage of sexual immorality and filth! You must repent before it's too late!IUIC can provide you with a valuable lesson!
Love this ….thank you for sharing this ❤. We perish for lack of knowledge and this is true knowledge. I will never promote this with any of my grandkids. Telling the truth is freedom , obedience ❤to God is freedom.
Hey, love both of your boldness. Please see Fred Price Jr teaching on the occult and idolatry - he gave history and broke it down to clearly understand the tie to idolatry....
Amen, glory to King Jesus. James 1:2-4 🛡️ “Consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you encounter trials of many kinds” because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Allow perseverance to finish its work, so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything” Revelation 3:19 💝 “Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent.”
I just submitted the disaffiliation paperwork this morning for my sorority (not disclosing on here since it’s a very small sorority) and it was so hard. I also sent a notarized letter to Alpha Phi Omega to terminate my membership yesterday. I need a support group for this because it was so tough 😭
Glory to God! And please feel free to join my Bible Study or Tia’s Bible Study for community during this denouncing journey. There’s many ex-Greeks in the Bible Study so we know exactly what you’re going through!
This should be done away, and a law set against sororities/fraternities the intentions of it all may be good, but there are evil agendas behind the scene it's disruptive to your education, and to me a trap set by the enemy himself to destroy purpose and destiny. We hear about all this craziness in the news about people losing their very lives pledging. What is the purpose when you can not even focus on school, and then possibly fall into depression, or even worst PTSD? I don't understand fully what's involved in being apart of these organizations, but the price you pay seems to me outweighs the benefits when you get emotionally, and spiritually tore up from the floor up from the trauma of it all. I always picture these organizations to be structured like what I would see on the TV show A Different World, lol, and even though it showed things that went on during pledging it truly was a different world from what we see happening now. Thank you for sharing this was informative, and pray it wakes people up in Jesus name.
A different world highlighted when grays and sororities used to pledge above ground. But the devil Behaves much differently in darkness. He spits on people, paddle them until they are black and blue, borderline take their life or actually take their life all in the name of their demonic god or godeaa that they wear on their crest. These people then become magically bff’s after they cross. Check out Fred prices message on frats and sororities being demonic. It’s heartbreakingly true and sad. But Jesus can give hope! Tell your. Holstein and family members not to join.
Thanks so much for these denouncing videos. I thank God for your boldness and courage to speak the truth. I love it that is God is continuing to awaken his people to the truth. I am also a former Delta. I officially denounced in July of 2022, but God gave me the conviction in 2019. Please let me know how I can reach you via email. I need help, I sent my certified letter to Nationals last July and haven’t heard back. I’ve tried calling and emailing, but I haven’t been able to talk to anyone. I’m not on Facebook or Instagram.
Hey Sis. Glory to GOD 🙌🏽 And Nationals is slow. I sent my letter in 2021 and just now got a response. If they don’t respond soon.. email Membership Policy and Procedures at mpp@deltasigmatheta.org
Seems like these frats/sororities somewhat attempt to imitate, what military recruits (trainees) go through, during basic/boot camp training. Some similarities, on a lower level of course. The trash talking, sleep deprivation, marching to cadences, etc etc. I'm pretty sure, back when all these D9 started, that's where some of their initiations/pledging is modeled after. What an awesome denouncement testimony, especially towards the end! That dream! That was it!
Hey Sis. Here are the link’s to both parts of Tia’s Get Out Now vids: ruclips.net/user/liveQLYee3kS92Y?feature=share ruclips.net/user/liveXZDGIRrLYb8?feature=share
This is random, and not really relevant to the video, but I feel like I need to say this. LaLa, I’m excited for your soon coming engagement announcement!
This is so silly. This is not camaraderie or sisterhood. I'm so sorry you went through this. If it takes manipulation and physical abuse to require someone to prove their loyalty to an organization, that's a very insecure organization. Then again, aside from the physical abuse, the breakdown/buildup isn't all that different than military basic training and I did that soooo 🤷🏾♀️
I’ve learned that being an amazing Delta didn’t translate to being an amazing Disciple. Some of the members that I really admired were leaders that did powerful things for Delta. But once I realized that they didn’t have that same resume for Jesus, I no longer admired them.
I've really been enjoying your channel. I listen while I'm baking my cakes :) It is sad how these orgs break you down to build you up. Its very toxic and abusive.
The reality is you can't move in this world without a network and community. So many people have advanced and profited from their connections with Greek organizations that would've never been possible had they not pledged.
I was in the airport and I had on a kinda sea green lounge wear a green coat and a pink computer bag. An elder excitedly asked me if I was an AKA and i said mom you would thought i said "no I worship Satan." She was so disappointed. Lol
I had no idea I was could denounce. For me denouncing as nothing to do with GOD. I just have no interest. Undergrad was so toxic and I feel grad chapter is purely transactional. I don't have time for this nonsense. It's been 25 years since I became a Delta. I have been inactive for 23 years.
Tia it’s very very unfortunate that this process was not a good one. I can truthfully say that my process as a Delta was absolutely nothing like this and I’m thankful everyday that my DP was the woman that she was. I’m cut from a different cloth so when I say my process was NOT like this I mean it with my whole heart because the way the news would’ve had a story…. So this process isn’t the same for everybody in Delta. I do believe what you’re saying though for sure. I just hate that videos like these make people think that all the members had to have gone through this type of stuff or you won’t make it, which is not the case. Religiously God will always be my number one and that’s nothing that I’ll ever get confused no matter what I’m a part of ya know.
Hey Sis. Regardless of the process.. The rituals are contrary to God’s Word and you are in idolatry. Please take a second to watch this video: ruclips.net/video/7wxopqAG6Gs/видео.html&feature=shareb Praying for you.
Is the camaraderie and clout the appeal. I just never got it. I know so many BGLOs and they seem so proud and hard working and successful. As i hear the denouncing...I'm shocked about the hazing, the humiliation. How do ppl harmonize that with Christianity? I have 2 white friends who are in their white org and they are sworn to secrecy as well and one slipped and told me they had to shower together like sexually. 😮 How do ppl fall for this? To be in an org?
What do you do when your pastor is preaching in their fraternity shirts on Sunday? I had no clue he was in a fraternity until I saw this. I want to leave.
That’s a sign that y’all might want to reconsider another church. The Greek organizations are satanic organizations so I definitely wouldn’t be under leadership that is apart.
Me either. Is your fault if you allow someone to pre haze you. If everyone on lined stood their ground. Hazing who have never happen. It’s t’aura on letter to regional and nationals headquarters.
Thank you for sharing this testimony. It’s similar to mine. Praise God! His grace, Hallelujah! Edit: grammatical error on my part. Thanks @Sheilah Degruy !
They are extremely deceived as well. God sent me a woman of God that denounced her Christian Sorority because God revealed its idolatry as well. Her testimony is dropping on Saturday. 🙌🏽
That’s what I had in mind as well. Had a sis that mentioned she wanted to join one and it just didn’t sit well w/me. She said she wanted to join so she could volunteer. You have your local church that you can volunteer in. Well, I later learned there were a lot of my other sisters in this same group. One of them invited me to some session they are having. I just replied thanks for invite but I will certainly not be attending. I can’t wait to hear the other young ladies testimony. Thanks for sharing. Ppl need to know. I was always asked if and who I would pledge w/in college but I had no interest in it at all.
Wow! Just accidentally came across this video. I didn't know such a thing was going on as far as denouncing membership of Greek organizations but I absolutely get it! I briefly entertained pledging when I was in college but in the back of mind I knew hazing was happening and my own self-worth didn't want it so bad that I was willing to compromise any of my values or self-esteem. It never worked out because the sorority kept getting kicked off the yard for getting caught hazing so I take it as God was protecting me and my friends since we were going to go online together. Way after graduation, I entertained doing grad chapter but I was like nah, I don't have the extra money nor the time and even if I did, if the process of grad is anything like undergrad, then it's still a "No" for me. I'm too grown and I don't need anybody calling my phone in the middle of the night because I like to be in my house when the evening hits. Thank you ladies for sharing your testimony! Yall are so beautiful and God is shining upon you both!
I never wanted to pledge and I was groomed by my mentor and begged by so many friends saying I was a perfect candidate, but I do not like people enough to join a social construct like that, and I’m not made up to knowingly subject myself to judgement and even harm (mental, physical, spiritual), so it was not of interest to me, I had one goal in college, to graduate early and get into med school, I was on scholarship and my single mother had no extra money for shenanigans, I get the appeal for some, but I am still wondering how people had all that extra money and time on their hands in college, not being judgmental(to each their own),I just could never figure that out🤔😂
Hey Y’all! Thanks for watching Tia’s testimony. 🙌🏽 If you want more information on the Delta rituals (and why God is calling His children out).. please watch this video: ruclips.net/video/7wxopqAG6Gs/видео.html
Also, Please take a second to read this IN-DEPTH article entitled “Can You Be a Christian and Greek” www.outfromamongthem.com/_files/ugd/7c46f4_6b1a1c1acbb140949828fef0cc8554af.pdf
I will never forget walking out of line. They called me weak and all kinds of other names. I replied, "No, I'm the strong one. The weak links are the girls staying and allowing you all to humiliate them." I'm so glad I didn't complete the process. There's a reason for my big attitude. If you scream at me, I scream back. I always looked at sororities as a sisterhood. I quickly learned it wasn't. That was in 1996.
You were in an abusive Chapter - and your treatment was unethical and not in compliance of any Greeks initiation. Hazing and violence is NOT allowed - although many Chapters ignore that! Sorry you had such a unwelcoming and negative experience.!
All of this sounds wild!!! Imagine dropping your precious daughter off at college and she's getting groomed into strange cars, dirt roads, getting beat up, humiliated, degraded, risk death. All to be a part of a group. Seems like pimping!
Just a few reasons these associations will not be disbanded: many people draw validation from it; use its hierarchy as a social control mechanism, and network for career upward mobility.
Correct ‼️
@Switch Ur Notions, What I noticed is that, people on these reality tv shows, are members of frats and sororities, and even they, are used, by the networks, to push a certain political agenda. As well, local news casters, are members. They're everywhere. Wouldn't be surprised if they work in H.R. depts...
I loved this story. I denounced DST April 2nd, 2023 (ironically on the line I was on 14th anniversary). I looked up 14 biblicallly and it said deliverance and salvation 🙌🏽. This is not a knock on her story just a message. A lot of people harp on the pledging process and say “ oh I didn’t go through all of that” this is so much deeper than that. The origins of the D-9 has occult ties. The rituals, the covenant, the chants, all directly contradict the word of GOD. I was blind and a church member nonchalantly said to me, you know that is not of GOD when I told her I was Delta, but I did not want to believe her. Another church member prayed that I would come out of delta, but I never told her I was in delta, and I haven’t worn paraphernalia since college. She saw it in the spirit. I also was always distant of other members and did not participate much after college. It all made since after I decided to stop wrestling with what the Lord was telling me. I was groomed into it as a child, but I am grateful that GOD’s grace is sufficient.
Sense*
Glory to GOD! 🙌🏽
Yes!!!!
Wow God is merciful🙌🏾🙌🏾🔥
I participated in a DST cotillion during high school & had plans of pledging when I got to college. I saw so much going on with others (physical abuse, verbal abuse, mental abuse, & listening to a young lady cry about being raped by one of the upper class frat brothers). I decided that I could never do it because I simply can't tolerate any level of abuse. I am glad you ladies are truly rising. I pray that people can hear the heart of this share & always choose self love over fake connections. Love & peace 😇
This is so great. I've been watching these videos for some time. The Greek life runs heavy in my family. My grandmom was a Delta, my dad a Kappa, a bunch of AKAs. I always wanted to pledge Delta in college and I had perfect grades, community service, and all but I was a big nerd and never felt "Black enough". I didn't make line and I was depressed for a few months. I ended up studying abroad and living abroad in my 20s and even when I came back to the states I pursued the graduate chapter in my city and didn't make it again. But the second time I felt at peace. I actually had a dream after I did my interview that I wasn't going to be accepted before I got the email. Maybe it was God. Thanks for these videos because they dispel so many things that people spend their lives seeking acceptance. I've learned to accept my nerdiness and quirkiness. I learned that these orgs don't define what Blackness is. I also wondered if those Greek affiliations in my family led to a lot of mental illness and trauma. I have never met many "sane" people in those orgs.
Amen!
Wow! All I could think about when they say the work Greek was all the crazy stuff you study in school about Greeks. My dtr hated studying it. I never really thought about how crazy it was until she came home mad that she had to study it. You mention mental illness & trauma. This kind of thing opens you up to demon spirits. Lord, give us the spirit of discernment. We need it in this hour.
@@ronaprescott4007 Yup, I am one of the lone non-Greeks in my family. Most of my aunts and some cousins were Delta and I had an aunt who was high up in AKA a long time ago. I always thought that was the path but those rejections were a way to see that they were not of God. Evolution is hard, I think ultimately we need to question why we revere these orgs and what it means to the "Black" community. Maybe it's time to let it all go.
You can be nerdy and quirky and be accepted into a D9 sorority🙄
You never met many “sane” people in those orgs. What does that even mean!
There is so much I can say here. Well, first, I want to say thank you for continuing this series. Each time I watch a denouncement video, instantly I think about my mother and two of my closest friends. But the one thing that stands out to me more than anything is how much this process resembles an abusive relationship. Why do grown women (especially pertaining to the experience that was shared at the end after a year of membership) delight in or find it appropriate to BEAT other women? Why would licks be associated with "jewels?" Everything shared aligns so much with the language used when one is in a toxic relationship and yet in the end this "trauma bond" links one to the sisterhood. It breaks my heart to know that relatives and friends participated in these activities when I know that outside of this world, they would not approve of doing this to get a job, join a church, become someone's friend. Honestly, it sounds like the same thing people have to do to join a gang. It just makes me wonder how anyone can say this process and these entities are based on Christian "principles." My God, Today!!!
I have a cousin who has Lupus and other health impairments and she is a senior in college right now wanting to pledge Delta. She will not listen to her mother who has told her to let this desire go. Please pray for her. She wants to pledge so badly. It is daunting.
Help us all, Father, for we have all fallen short of Your GLORY. Let us not continue to call that which is not of you as yours. Let us not continue to disrespect you with our lifestyles, our words, and our egocentric hearts. Let us honor you as LORD of our lives henceforth and forever more.🙏
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Your comment was filled with so much truth and compassion Dr. Kellie. Amen.
@@sharnetteraye-brown9523 Thank you.😊
Dr Alston, thanks for the analogy. I never looked at it from your perspective.
Thank you ladies for being obident and talking about this issue. I too wanted to pledge Delta so bad. I went to Savannah state my freshman year , I couldn’t do it then because I had to be a sophomore. Sophomore year came, they were suspended 51:30 for hazing (sign number 1). I ended up transferring to another school but all of the deltas that were left graduated. Fast forward not even 3 months after I graduated undergrad, they came out with a line. I literally asked God out loud and ask him “Why wouldn’t you let me pledge?” And was led to a denouncement video and fell into a rabbit hole. I’m so thankful for Gods protection. I pray more of my brothers & sisters in Christ will take heed to the truth.
🙌🏽🙏🏽
Thank you both for sharing. I did a testimony on my channel denouncing AKA. One of my closest Christian friends sadly just crossed Delta today. My heart is broken because I talked to her about this life but she has wanted to do Delta for so long that I think she ignored the obvious. I’m sad for her and my other friends as well who criticize and judge me. I hate that they don’t see what’s happening. I’ll be doing a follow up video of my life since then. There have been so many ups and downs and adjustments for me. Living a life for Christ is not for the faint of heart.❤❤
Wow. Please continue to pray for your friend. There is still hope! I’ll be praying for her and you! 🙏🏽🤎
I love this video!!!!
I grew up around the culture of Sororities and Fraternities where it is considered an honor. I was groomed and recruited by a family member from the age of 11-17. My family member was a member of AKA and had created a high school sorority. From the moment I was 11-13 the family member would reach out and try to prepare me and get me excited about joining soon as I went to high school. Soon as I made it into high school I was quickly initiated in through rituals, chanting a, singings , attire, hazing, and burnings of candles 🕯 even at that early age. My family was brain washed by the culture and thinking it would be a great opportunity for young teens to learn morals, keep grades up, and be successful.
In reality, everything that I thought it was it was totally not. We were not taught how to have good morals, how to carry ourselves like respectful young ladies, and etc.
When I went to college, I was going to join AKA and God protected me from this. I am soo happy that I didn’t. Thank you both for being obedient!!!
I have burned my old sorority jacket and items and have renounced that pledge even though it was a little high school sorority.
🙌🏽🙌🏽
So grateful God intercepted that path and caused you to see behind the wicked vail and wholeheartedly turn to Christ ♥️🎚
I’m glad you shared this as I was in a high school sorority as well and was in the process of becoming an AKA in college but didn’t go through with it which I think was Gods grace. I have renounced the sorority in high school as well but was like do I need to publicly say that with it being a high school one lol
Also I recall even when they had us say the oath I remember thinking I’m not saying that lol and I literally stopped talking. Idk if I mouthed to make it look like I was talking or just out my head down but it’s interesting even then I was like uhhhh yea this ain’t that deep to be saying that
Thanks Tia for sharing your powerful testimony. Thanks Lala for your platform and allowing God to use you for such a time as this. I am an ex-AKA last weekend I informed my former linesisters that I’m no longer an AKA. I thank God for your obedience and watched both of your videos before making my decision to denounce. My pastor planted the seed many years before through a bible study series he taught about secret societies and how if you have to do anything in secret it’s not of God. Bless you both🙏🏾🙌🏾
Congratulations Sister in Christ! I too am an ex-AKA Sept ‘22. God bless you 💖
I am also an ex-AKA. I denounced just last month. It's so refreshing to see many of us coming out of Greek organizations after learning God's truth. God is definitely calling back his sons and daughters.
@@milanibowman1775 Amen yes He is🙏🏾
@@Qual8ty_Evangelism thanks Sister in Christ our obedience is better than sacrifice🙌🏾
GLORY TO GOD! 🙌🏽😭
Thank you for your boldness. This video will help a lot of people. I denounced AKA a long time ago but even 20 years later a temptation will enter my mind about it, especially when I relocated to a another city. Let it be known…My identity is in Jesus Christ and Him alone!
Amen!
I love testimonies!! Our father is so clever and loving. He knows us and has a plan and purpose for our lives. He’s gentle enough to ask us for our YES, and when we come into agreement with him, at that point he can replace the strongholds with HIS love and Grace and our identity in HIM. We are set free in Christ Jesus!! All praise to the Most High!! God bless you ladies and your ministries!!
🙌🏽🙌🏽
God is so good! I literally was talking to different sororities and thinking about joining. Very happy and excited to join and then this video pops up. Thank you ladies for this, I truly feel this is Gods warning for me not to join. I can’t imagine myself getting abuse by someone who says we are sisters. Glory to God for protecting us 🙌🏾❤️
Glory to GOD! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
@@LaLaJenkinsHey quick question. Would this apply to the professional Delta Sorority for Educators also? Just wondering cause I was considering joining one.
She has an amazing story...God took her through that journey so that her convictions would be strong...she has a powerful calling in God's kingdom...one thing I've gotten from this is that you CAN'T mock God♥️
Amen!
Amen Erica. Thank you❤
@@Tia_Rock Tia as I was listening to your story....my college journey...went to a HBCU university was approached by a Zeta and Delta to join...but never followed up with me very secretive,mind you...I come from a family close to 20 divine9 members-mainly Deltas yes!!!...all secretive...I became a born again Christian at the age of 30,long story short...I see what what God was doing,he was shutting the door for me not to get involved with divine9-he had another plan....glory!!!
@@LaLaJenkins Mind you,there are close to 20!! divine9 members in my family...there has to be a God,he kept me away from all of it,was approached by a Zeta and Delta in college,never materialized
Yes an amazing story!! Thank you for sharing Tia!!
I been binging these videos for like the last week and they got me in a chokehold!! I never was in to Greek organization. They never really appealed to me but it’s so interesting just hearing the testimonies!!
This was such a wonderful testimony. God said, no to me joining Delta several times and I didn’t understand. Thank you to all the RUclipsrs for showing me why God said no. I am so thankful and grateful. Please pray with me to get my mother out. She is not active but she is still a member on books. Keep up the amazing job saving God’s children!💪🏾🙏🏾
🙏🏽
I will be in prayer for your mom. I denounced Delta after 10 years of membership, and my husband denounced Omega after 30 years of membership. God is able, and at the appointed time (if your mom has eyes to see, ears to hear, and a heart ready to receive), she will come out, in Jesus' name!
That whole part about not remembering your process after coming out. Funny story is I pretty much can remember the underground stuff and set but I couldn’t remember ANY of the actual rituals we did in crossing. When I denounced delta, it all came flooding back in. It was like the scales LITERALLY fell from my eyes and the Holy Spirit began showing me what really happened. When sharing my testimony with people, I tell them all the time had anyone walked in and seen people in a CHURCH of all places wearing all black with an alter set at the front and people behind said alter in red robes and young women kneeling in all white it LITERALLY screams witchcraft! I was sick afterwards. But thank the Lord for deliverance! Amazing testimony! Praying that more will begin to have their eyes opened and come out.
WOW! Witchcraft indeed‼️😭
I was drawn to this video not because of the content but because of the light the two of you illuminate through the screen. I pray God continues to bless and favor the both of you throughout your Christian walk.
When I watch videos about Greeks denouncing I’m often curious of the standpoint of Christian Greek organizations whose purpose is to serve God but some of the same stories occur within these organizations too.
My daughter went to an HBCU that I won't mention but she went to rush filled out paperwork and she wasn't chosen. Shortly after that the whole chapter was suspended from the yard for hazing and at that moment she knew that wasn't God's plan for her. Different people that she knows have asked her to pledge Grad chapter but she always denies . Listening to you all speak that's not how you treat someone that you will call sister .
When people become angry and or defensive when told about others denouncing, that’s simply the stronghold on their lives manifesting. Thou shall have NO other Gods before me-even Greek ones! Praise YAH for him convicting me and removing me from my organization. Ironically, it was a video from a another young lady who denounced Delta that really sealed the deal for me. She posed this question: “If being in a sorority is about scholarship, community service, and other “great things” then why do you have to take an oath, be beaten, dehumanized, etc. just to do those things? That provoked a lot of thought and sent me on a journey to investigate the origins of the organization. I packed up everything I had and reached out to denounce in silence. The truth needs no consultation.
Amen!
I really appreciate this video, love the transparency, the introspection and the connection to the Holy Spirit and the wisdom He gave you both to share with us.
I actually considered pledging a major Greek Sorority but decided against it. I could never conflate nor make sense of somebody beating my behind, humiliating and abusing me - only to turn around and now say I love you and we're Sisters at the end of the pledge period!😳🤔😑
I considered Grad chapter because I was told it was a little better where that was concerned but I never had peace with it and your testimony here is everything explained!!! I have multiple Greeks in my family - Deltas, AKA's, Alphas, Kappas and Omegas. I have seen one family member so dedicated to the Greek organization they are a member of, it eventually cost them their marriage.
I believe more people will be coming out of the Greek lifestyle as God continues to reveal more truth behind the scenes and uses His people to pull the scales off the eyes of His people and destroy the yokes of bondage through their deliverance and testimony. We just have to love each other through whatever paths our lives take us.💜
Go forward Sisters and may God continue to bless You, strengthen you and widen your territory!!!! Much love💯🙏🏽💜
🙌🏽🤎
Tia thank you for sharing your amazing story. I’m not a part of any organization but I’ve heard so much about people denouncing!! Praise God for the Holy Spirit and your ability to FOLLOW!
This is the first sorority video I have ever watched and tbh I never really knew anything about sororities. My daughter wants to go to FAMU next year when she graduates and now I’m worried this is something she may be exposed to or even wants to join. Normally when a video that I’ve never showed any interest in keeps popping up in my feed its a warning from God. I guess I’ll start praying and fasting…I’m very glad I took the time to watch this. I’m about to pay attention now. Thanks.
Praise God. Praying for covering over your daughter. 🙏🏽
I'm so glad I'm hearing all these Delta. I attend an interest meeting my freshman year and baby when they was talking bout it's gonna take X amount of time Y amount of money. I was like I'm broke as hell for 1 secondly with my major I literally would have to miss my lab classes. These are core classes & I was already struggling. There was no way my parents was going to give me money to do something that took me away from class. So glad the stars aligned for it to not make sense at that time.
Thank you for this! I’m a rising sophomore in college and I was thinking about joining a Greek organization. God has been showing me your denouncing videos and calling me to look at the initiation process.
🙌🏽🙌🏽
Wow!!!
Thank you for your obedience to Christ ladies! I went through similar acts in the band. Thank You Lord for Your protection, grace, and mercy.
Same. But God!
🙌🏽🙌🏽
Love this! I too denounced being in a D-9 organization. I thank my Lord and Savior Jesus for bringing me to the knowledge of the truth.
🙌🏽🙌🏽
AMEN! 🙏God BLESS YOU!
When God speaks to your spirit, you have to be obedient. Satan's devices comes wrapped in beautiful packaging.
Such a great video. I love Tia’s transparency. Many blessings to both of you.
🙌🏽
Oh wow, beautiful testimony! When she spoke about her dream where she was in the house 🏠 with one way in and one out… my Lord, a house in the dream represents your life, your body. ❤❤❤❤ LaLa I enjoy watching your videos!!! I’m not Greek or never been, but when I was younger I was drown to AkA, but later in life, it was revealed that type of lifestyle is not of God! Blessings to you!
When people join those organizations they are making pledges/oaths. Ask yourself, who are they talking to? Only God deserves our devotion, allegiance, love, peace and happiness. Can’t serve the true and living God and Greek Gods.
Amen & Amen This-is-the-truth
Loved this video 💖💖 I always wanted to pledge Delta but didn’t because of the hazing process and I was focused on my grades. The hazing diminishes the organization. I applaud her for her transparency.
You don’t have get hazed. You can control that. DST is against hazing. You can pledge but stand up for yourself. Roland Martin talks about him APA and was never hazed
I enjoyed every bit of this.❤️🙏🏾I am not/was not greek…almost tho! And when I really look back I finally realized (through wisdom and conviction) that God kinda did just about flip everything over so that I could not. For HBCU band greek sororities AND Pan-Hel. That’s one side of it for me. I am tho, a former member of Prince Hall Affiliated OES. And I can still remember when I really thought about “some things”, none of it sat well with me. It was subtle revelations, but mighty nonetheless. By the GRACE of God I did denounce/renounce/repent all of that years ago. Continue proving God’s voice and pulling off the veil of deception; if it is God’s will for my big mouth lol…I plan to join you two! Let God be true and EVERY MAN A LIAR!!!
🙌🏽🙌🏽
This discussion was both insightful and enlightening. All Glory be to God that you found your TRUE identity in Him. Breaking others down or considering others in a diminished manner who choose not to be in an organization is both sad and shameful.
Correct. 😪
Thanks for sharing! These videos are def pushing me to share my denouncing testimony.
🙌🏽
My badd! It looks like my initial comment did not post. So let's try this again... TIA..Grrrrl! GOD Bless you sis! Your story telling is 2nd to none! Your testimony is not only powerful, but your delivery of it is soooo passionate and authoritative. You TRULY command any space where you speak! And I can so relate to your saying that GOD used your son to really get your attention about denouncing because HE did the same for me with my daughter. I am grateful for you both and pray GOD's continued blessings over you and your families!🙏🏽
🙌🏽🤎
I’m really late to this post but I just want to say I went to UAPB with Tia and had a math class with her and she was really nice! Blessings to her and her family.
My daughter is a Sigma Gamma Rho girl. She was the only one online during covid19. She didn't have to go through any of that. Everything she went through was on the computer. All the modules 4 she had to do. So she had a very smooth transition into Sigma Gamma Rho. If she had gone through what you and other girls have gone through it'd be HELL to pay. I would go to her and start from the top and work my way down to the girls. The President/Dean of the schools know what is going on. The founders of those organizations I hope this is not what they had in mind when they started these sororities and fraternities.
Hi. Thank you for watching. It’s not just the underground (pledging) aspects that are an issue. It’s the rituals for aboveground as well. Please watch this when you get a chance: ruclips.net/video/rxTBDYxq-L4/видео.html
This testimony was SOOOOOOO GOOOOOOD!!! Tia is a wonderful storyteller!!!! I pray God continues to bless her and let any and everything she touches flourish!! 🙌🏾👏🏾🙏🏽🔥
AMEN‼️🙌🏽
Wow so good. Yes the fear is what keeps us bound. I am struggling with that now of losing friends but I know I will have to draw a line in the sand very soon about sharing my testimony more publicly. I have been denounced for quite some time from Zeta.
Praying for you! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@LaLaJenkins thank you so much
Our stories is so familiar from beginning to end. It was the dream that Yah Abba sent to me, that made me say. “I gotta leave Delta.” I cried and cried, but I let it go. And I burned all my nalia and ritual books. I still need to write my letter to nationals, to take me off the roster
Thank you Tia for that wonderful testimony. La La you are powerful and hilarious in Tia’s group testimony video. The jacket in the church “you tried it,” lol. Happy for you and the ladies testimony, pray and hope you all reach millions, glory to King Jesus.
1 Peter 3:15 👑
🙌🏽🤎
To God be the Glory. Glad you sisters listen to our father
Hi former Sorors. My story is very similar. My mom and aunts are all AKAs but when I got to campus the Deltas had the highest G.P.A.s and held all the leadership positions at school. I was cool with a lot of them and fell in love with the organization when I researched it. I crossed at Clark Atlanta (Sigma chapter) and my experience was very similar to Tia’s. I’ve always said BLGOs should never “pre-pledge” anyone you wouldn’t vote on if rush was that day, it’s too much of a liability and it’s only done so people can go on power trips. And I am NOT a fan of physical stuff! We ran into the Sigmas (Chi Chapter) at Morehouse the night before we crossed too!
I’m not ready to denounce the entire organization but I do understand some of the frustrations with the process and unsisterly things that can happen. A couple of my neos denounced within the past few years, but they’re still my sisters. I’m still trying to glorify God in everything that I do, including when I’m doing work in my now alumnae chapter. I also try to check myself to make sure I don’t make an idol out of Delta and spend more time working for it and not in prayer with God. Just continue to pray for me and my walk with the Lord. I’m working on my Christian RUclips channel now! It’s called “The Gospel According to A”.
Praying that you allow God to get the full glory in your life by coming out @Only1Adrienne❤️🙏🏾 It’s not by chance that you are watching this video. I denounced AKA after being a member for 20 years in 2020.
Your testimony is building. It is very important to recognize that on initiation night you came into covenant with a false god. The dark room, the robes (if applicable) the kneeling down at an altar full of the founders pictures and welcoming Minerva with your love and dedication beyond the grave ia not to be messed with. The initiation night looks a lot like what happens in witchcraft and other satanic groups while Doing rituals. Burning of the candles and one by one having to say that you agree ia how the enemy comes into your life and ia allowed to run free. Remember we cannot serve two masters even if while serving one (delta, aka or whatever) we say to ourselves that Jesus Christ ia Lord. You have to break the bond and covenant by writing a letter to your org certified and requesting out of the membership ‘. You need to denounce and renounce on paper and tell everyone you know. You know want little girls following you into witchcraft. It doesn’t stop there. Every chapter meeting you are saying the rituals again to make sure that you allow the enemy to reign in your life you’ve opened a door but Jesus Christ can slam it close and make you free. Before doing all of this you need to repent to Jesus Christ because many people feel weird the initiation night (although getting beat up or verbally abused for weeks didn’t feel right either) yet, you continued. This is why many people drop the line. God will reign fully in your life but ask Him to show you for real. These women don’t even want to be referred to as former soros, they want to show how Christ made them new creations in Him.
Please also check out out from among them ministries. They are here on RUclips and people share how this is the first level type of entry into witchcraft. You did not stumble upon this awesome video to tell someone else congrats on leaving. You should leave as well and with the quickness. Let The Lord find us all without a spot or blemish upon His return. God bless you and I will start praying that you have the veil lifted very soon. You will be the leader of your line as the first to step
Out of it and many will follow you.
@@equallyyoked1Your comment was beautifully shared. I often wonder how believers attend these meetings and repeatedly speak the chants, sing the songs, and say the prayers without conviction. My mother is 74 and went to a chapter meeting after not going for so many years. She said they kept talking about Minerva and the Minerva Circle and she leaned over to one of her sorors who is also one of her best friends from childhood and said, "Now, I don't know if I am going to be able to deal with this Minerva. Minerva and Jesus don't mix." It was so funny to me bc although she has all this paraphernalia and suitcases with the letters and/or the shield on them, she had forgotten about Minerva. But, she still has not denounced it. That is why I appreciate you breaking that down. Perhaps, it will ring a bell with others who stay in and fight what God is compelling them to do.💖
Hey Sis. Thank you for watching and commenting! Please watch this vid when you get a chance: ruclips.net/video/7wxopqAG6Gs/видео.html
@@equallyyoked1 well said/written. As a former delta, I agree. @only1adrienne praying for you & please consider holding off on teaching others ❤
Wow! Just wow. Tia's story sounds so traumatic! I found this video b/c I was searching for bglo experiences with ls or lb...and reconnecting after many years. I'm on the fence b/c I had a few of mine reach out to me lately due to a milestone anniversary. One of them was problematic to say the very least, and is a hard pass, but I'm hesitant to reconnect with any of them really. I was looking for some perspective and found this bombshell. 💥Y'all gave me a lot to digest.
Ladies, thank you, thank you, thank you for this presentation. I had suspicious about these types of "organizations" as I hsve family members whos have joined. Than you both for bringing TRUTH to the light. ❤ 🎉
🙏🏽
GOD BLESS YOU YOUNG LADIES FOR EXPOSING THE DECEPTION OF THE ENEMY, KEEP UP THE GOD WORK‼️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I denounced some months ago and have been dealing with a lot of similar things, dreams etc. I fasted and came to the answer to break every tie. However it has been exasperating to say the least. I was on a long line and only two of the "sisters" still speak to me. The rest I found out recently were talking behind my back and none reach out. I wasn't surprised because we honestly weren't so close but it hurts. I know God has a plan for me and I'm glad I got out sooner than later but I've never felt more alone on this planet. At least Jesus is with me in Spirit.
Praise Gid Hallelujah that both of you all denounced those demonic organizations. Praise Gid I am a Evangelist in Southern California and I congratulate both of you all. I hope that you never have to go through those horrible hazing situations ever again . Preach the Gospel sisters and Jesus Christ loves you and remember this Jesus Christ is Lord and King of Kings.
Shalom APTTMH so wonderful that these two daughters of The Chosen Tribe of Judah have obtained their wisdom to denounce Esau's garbage of sexual immorality and filth! You must repent before it's too late!IUIC can provide you with a valuable lesson!
Wow! This was good. To see you both together is such a blessing. 🙏🏾🥰🥰
🙌🏽🤎
Hey ladiesssssssss this is awesome. Love y’all
This is a powerful testimony. Thank you for sharing. 🙏🏾
Okay, Arkansas! I’m from Pine Bluff also. Now residing in Florida. Really love this testimony! 🙌🏾❤️
Amen!!!❤
Likewise, I’m a former instructor from UAPB. I can identify.
Love this ….thank you for sharing this ❤. We perish for lack of knowledge and this is true knowledge. I will never promote this with any of my grandkids. Telling the truth is freedom , obedience ❤to God is freedom.
Thank you ladies for telling the truth. It’s very much needed.
🙏🏽
Hey, love both of your boldness. Please see Fred Price Jr teaching on the occult and idolatry - he gave history and broke it down to clearly understand the tie to idolatry....
Amen, glory to King Jesus.

I just submitted the disaffiliation paperwork this morning for my sorority (not disclosing on here since it’s a very small sorority) and it was so hard. I also sent a notarized letter to Alpha Phi Omega to terminate my membership yesterday. I need a support group for this because it was so tough 😭
Glory to God! And please feel free to join my Bible Study or Tia’s Bible Study for community during this denouncing journey. There’s many ex-Greeks in the Bible Study so we know exactly what you’re going through!
@@LaLaJenkins Thank you, and I will check it out
Why terminating a membership of a club is so hard?? That in itself should show you the strong hold it has on your life. This is serious.
This should be done away, and a law set against sororities/fraternities the intentions of it all may be good, but there are evil agendas behind the scene it's disruptive to your education, and to me a trap set by the enemy himself to destroy purpose and destiny. We hear about all this craziness in the news about people losing their very lives pledging. What is the purpose when you can not even focus on school, and then possibly fall into depression, or even worst PTSD? I don't understand fully what's involved in being apart of these organizations, but the price you pay seems to me outweighs the benefits when you get emotionally, and spiritually tore up from the floor up from the trauma of it all. I always picture these organizations to be structured like what I would see on the TV show A Different World, lol, and even though it showed things that went on during pledging it truly was a different world from what we see happening now. Thank you for sharing this was informative, and pray it wakes people up in Jesus name.
A different world highlighted when grays and sororities used to pledge above ground. But the devil
Behaves much differently in darkness. He spits on people, paddle them until they are black and blue, borderline take their life or actually take their life all in the name of their demonic god or godeaa that they wear on their crest. These people then become magically bff’s after they cross. Check out Fred prices message on frats and sororities being demonic. It’s heartbreakingly true and sad. But Jesus can give hope! Tell your. Holstein and family members not to join.
@@equallyyoked1 yes Fred Price Jrs sermon on Greek organizations is the best sermon I have found on RUclips.
😪
Denounced Delta in September 2023, I would’ve been 6 years in this April
Thanks so much for these denouncing videos. I thank God for your boldness and courage to speak the truth. I love it that is God is continuing to awaken his people to the truth. I am also a former Delta. I officially denounced in July of 2022, but God gave me the conviction in 2019. Please let me know how I can reach you via email. I need help, I sent my certified letter to Nationals last July and haven’t heard back. I’ve tried calling and emailing, but I haven’t been able to talk to anyone. I’m not on Facebook or Instagram.
Hey Sis. Glory to GOD 🙌🏽 And Nationals is slow. I sent my letter in 2021 and just now got a response. If they don’t respond soon.. email Membership Policy and Procedures at mpp@deltasigmatheta.org
Ok, thanks!
Seems like these frats/sororities somewhat attempt to imitate, what military recruits (trainees) go through, during basic/boot camp training. Some similarities, on a lower level of course. The trash talking, sleep deprivation, marching to cadences, etc etc. I'm pretty sure, back when all these D9 started, that's where some of their initiations/pledging is modeled after. What an awesome denouncement testimony, especially towards the end! That dream! That was it!
You are correct. It’s boot camp with the addition of being physically assaulted
Awesome testimony! I crossed in 2000. I’m willing to share my testimony.
Hey! Thank you for your testimony. Can you please share the link of the other 2 parts of your testimony?
Hey Sis. Here are the link’s to both parts of Tia’s Get Out Now vids:
ruclips.net/user/liveQLYee3kS92Y?feature=share
ruclips.net/user/liveXZDGIRrLYb8?feature=share
This is random, and not really relevant to the video, but I feel like I need to say this. LaLa, I’m excited for your soon coming engagement announcement!
WOW! Just when I needed to hear this. 🥹🤎
The slumber party at the end 😂😂😂 Love it❤
God is so good. I rejoice with you ladies. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙌❤️
All the Greek hand signs are illuminate hand signs/symbols, did you notice that as a member or after?
Afterwards
LaLa, it’s you covering your face with the robe at the end 😂😂 that was too funny to me. You’re gorgeous sis! 💖
Chileeee 🙈
This is so silly. This is not camaraderie or sisterhood. I'm so sorry you went through this. If it takes manipulation and physical abuse to require someone to prove their loyalty to an organization, that's a very insecure organization. Then again, aside from the physical abuse, the breakdown/buildup isn't all that different than military basic training and I did that soooo 🤷🏾♀️
The grace of God still here get us out of this mess
Hallelujah!
For the members you looked up to before joining, how do you view those same characteristics after denouncing?
I’ve learned that being an amazing Delta didn’t translate to being an amazing Disciple. Some of the members that I really admired were leaders that did powerful things for Delta. But once I realized that they didn’t have that same resume for Jesus, I no longer admired them.
I've really been enjoying your channel. I listen while I'm baking my cakes :) It is sad how these orgs break you down to build you up. Its very toxic and abusive.
Extremely toxic and abusive. 😪
Powerful testimony!! Sister!
🙌🏽🙌🏽
Great video! Love the title ❤
🤎🤎🤎
You are such the actress. I felt like I was listening to someone read Taken and the Exorcist.
Ooooh wow , I actually got saved in Japan. 2 years ago. 😮😊
🙌🏽🙌🏽
Thank you very much for sharing your story. Let God continue to use you guys❤
🙌🏽
This was so GOOD
The reality is you can't move in this world without a network and community. So many people have advanced and profited from their connections with Greek organizations that would've never been possible had they not pledged.
I was in the airport and I had on a kinda sea green lounge wear a green coat and a pink computer bag. An elder excitedly asked me if I was an AKA and i said mom you would thought i said "no I worship Satan." She was so disappointed. Lol
I denounced before I joined thank you Jesus❤
how you do that?
Great video!!! Thank you for sharing!!!
🙌🏽
I had no idea I was could denounce. For me denouncing as nothing to do with GOD. I just have no interest. Undergrad was so toxic and I feel grad chapter is purely transactional. I don't have time for this nonsense. It's been 25 years since I became a Delta. I have been inactive for 23 years.
Did you denounce?
Tia it’s very very unfortunate that this process was not a good one. I can truthfully say that my process as a Delta was absolutely nothing like this and I’m thankful everyday that my DP was the woman that she was. I’m cut from a different cloth so when I say my process was NOT like this I mean it with my whole heart because the way the news would’ve had a story…. So this process isn’t the same for everybody in Delta.
I do believe what you’re saying though for sure. I just hate that videos like these make people think that all the members had to have gone through this type of stuff or you won’t make it, which is not the case.
Religiously God will always be my number one and that’s nothing that I’ll ever get confused no matter what I’m a part of ya know.
Hey Sis. Regardless of the process.. The rituals are contrary to God’s Word and you are in idolatry.
Please take a second to watch this video: ruclips.net/video/7wxopqAG6Gs/видео.html&feature=shareb
Praying for you.
I’m interested in hearing about pre-hazing things?
Awesome testimony!!!!!!!!!
Yes an awesome testimony!!!
Is the camaraderie and clout the appeal. I just never got it. I know so many BGLOs and they seem so proud and hard working and successful. As i hear the denouncing...I'm shocked about the hazing, the humiliation. How do ppl harmonize that with Christianity? I have 2 white friends who are in their white org and they are sworn to secrecy as well and one slipped and told me they had to shower together like sexually. 😮 How do ppl fall for this? To be in an org?
WOW!
What do you do when your pastor is preaching in their fraternity shirts on Sunday? I had no clue he was in a fraternity until I saw this. I want to leave.
Pray for them.
I would have left. (Then prayed.)
Leave indeed. I refuse to be under sinful (unrepentant) & blind leaders.
@@LaLaJenkins Thank you. Talking to my husband about this today because he feels uneasy about it too.
That’s a sign that y’all might want to reconsider another church. The Greek organizations are satanic organizations so I definitely wouldn’t be under leadership that is apart.
Pre-hazing? Wth? I'm darn near a 'Dear' and have never heard of this. Bless you ladies for your bold decision making. I honor you.
🙏🏽🤎
Me either. Is your fault if you allow someone to pre haze you. If everyone on lined stood their ground. Hazing who have never happen. It’s t’aura on letter to regional and nationals headquarters.
Thank you for sharing this testimony. It’s similar to mine. Praise God! His grace, Hallelujah!
Edit: grammatical error on my part. Thanks @Sheilah Degruy !
🙌🏽
No disrespect, but there is no " S "on mine!!
@@Shugahmaa it’s fixed. Thanks love 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
She from my cityyy yeahhh!!
Not she went to UAPB tooooo😭 Heyy sisss!!
God bless y’all 🥹🥹🥹🥹♥️✝️
Thank you for sharing this.
What are your thoughts about these Christian organizations that are forming in the same manner as other organizations like Delta?
They are extremely deceived as well. God sent me a woman of God that denounced her Christian Sorority because God revealed its idolatry as well. Her testimony is dropping on Saturday. 🙌🏽
That’s what I had in mind as well. Had a sis that mentioned she wanted to join one and it just didn’t sit well w/me. She said she wanted to join so she could volunteer. You have your local church that you can volunteer in. Well, I later learned there were a lot of my other sisters in this same group. One of them invited me to some session they are having. I just replied thanks for invite but I will certainly not be attending. I can’t wait to hear the other young ladies testimony. Thanks for sharing. Ppl need to know. I was always asked if and who I would pledge w/in college but I had no interest in it at all.
Wow! Just accidentally came across this video. I didn't know such a thing was going on as far as denouncing membership of Greek organizations but I absolutely get it! I briefly entertained pledging when I was in college but in the back of mind I knew hazing was happening and my own self-worth didn't want it so bad that I was willing to compromise any of my values or self-esteem. It never worked out because the sorority kept getting kicked off the yard for getting caught hazing so I take it as God was protecting me and my friends since we were going to go online together.
Way after graduation, I entertained doing grad chapter but I was like nah, I don't have the extra money nor the time and even if I did, if the process of grad is anything like undergrad, then it's still a "No" for me. I'm too grown and I don't need anybody calling my phone in the middle of the night because I like to be in my house when the evening hits. Thank you ladies for sharing your testimony! Yall are so beautiful and God is shining upon you both!
I never wanted to pledge and I was groomed by my mentor and begged by so many friends saying I was a perfect candidate, but I do not like people enough to join a social construct like that, and I’m not made up to knowingly subject myself to judgement and even harm (mental, physical, spiritual), so it was not of interest to me, I had one goal in college, to graduate early and get into med school, I was on scholarship and my single mother had no extra money for shenanigans, I get the appeal for some, but I am still wondering how people had all that extra money and time on their hands in college, not being judgmental(to each their own),I just could never figure that out🤔😂
