Why I denounced my letters?

- Here lies my journey to denouncing my letters and why I did it. A lot of people wanted to know 'my why' behind denouncing and if they should pledge greek or not. Well, here are my beliefs and opinions on the matter.
This discussion was extremely surface level because I want it to be relatable to those of you who are confused and struggling with hearing the voice of God for themselves. I wanted anyone in any part of their walk with Christ to be able to understand and hear my perspective. Simply hear what I believe and feel in hopes that if God is telling them to do something, they hear Him and do what He's telling them to.
That's why I made the video. This video was not to bash any Greek organization or make anyone feel judged, condemned, or bad about something they're a part of or want to be a part of.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, I want to hear them because this video is meant to enable discussion so that we can all hear each other's different thoughts on the matter. I don't want you to feel like you can't question or comment on my perspective, this is an open space, free of judgment so feel free to share your various opinions.
Testing EVERY spirit is important-greek life, music, gossip, etc. Thank you for the reminder.💜
In disobedience you will never be comfortable! My soul leaped when you said that. My God!
You speak with so much conviction! You are such a force, God’s really using you. Like you, I had 3 signs as well and was able to get out before even continuing on to the pledging process!
Wow! Thanks Kayla, I truly appreciate it :) Glory to God!
Wow. I had 3 signs too 😩 Powerful! Was able take heed to the final warning and turn away 😅🙏🏾
Amen! I denounced this past February. I completely agree the Lord will reveal it when things get quiet and you're seeking him as well. It was revealed to me very clearly a month after I graduated and I went through the process of denouncing within a month because of how unsettled my heart was. Thank you for putting your story out for others to feel.
Great video and powerful statements about how pride is a blindfold. Unfortunately however, remaining in a Greek organization without repentance and renouncing/denouncing idolatry and sin CAN ABSOLUTELY keep a person out of Heaven.
Please pray for me. Satan tricked me and j greived the HOLY GHOST. I didn't bmean to Go backwards. I need the HOLY GHOST and be cleans and back. This was horrible and foolish. Why why. I am sadden. Please pray
Putting the Lord before anything is so Beautiful!! I got to start 🙏🙏 a lot more Luv
lookatme now amen!! ♥️ you will, I believe in you!
Well done, Pantherette! I'm from the Burg as well and a SCSU alumni! I EVEN attended HS with some Hacketts. I fully Enjoyed your content and prayer intro, which speaks of your TRUE love, the light you carry and contribution to the Kingdom. Continue following God's LEAD and living to glorify HIM...and EVERYTHING else WILL be added to you!
Sharon Powell amen!!
Was it fun
Congratulations woman of God! The light of Christ is shining through you 😊
I renounced the oaths I made in 1988 while kneeling on a pillow in front of the DST altar. After asking the Holy Spirit in 2010 if the sorority was causing any blockages in my life, the answer was a big yes. It was hard but obedience is better than sacrifice. Although I renounced 9 years ago, I literally just built up the nerve to tell people and made a video recently. He said I went all out to show I made it in, so we can also publicly testify the goodness of the Lord as we come out.🤗 Peace and Blessings my sister in Christ!
Great I want to be a DST but after hearing this. This has changed my mind I'm not telling anybody not to do it. But get the full understanding of what your doing satan is very clever and will use any type of method.
@@laurahenry4393 Praise God that you have ears to hear and eyes to see. God is pleased with your heart being fully submitted to him alone. You will be blessed accordingly!! Peace and Blessings sister
PEACEMAKERS Nonprofit Org Amen🙌🏽
@@laurahenry4393 I know this is old, but do the graduate chapters make these same oaths? I would like to join but I'm not pledging my love, happiness, and life to a sorority. I haven't said the pledge of allegiance since I was 9. By the way I hope no one does that because it's just as bad.
I am currently doing research and came across your video. You are a dynamic communicator. God bless you as you assist others in pursuing a life in Christ Jesus. You are right to say that we cannot judge the unsaved but we can judge the fruit of those who name the name of Christ.(fruit only)!!! Continue sharing as the Lord allows.
Freaking beautiful. It’s so awesome that more folks my age are coming out of the conditioning and the feverish pursuit to join the lost. Peace.
OMG you look so happy! You have a beautiful smile! The joy of the Lord is all over you sis!
Hello my sista, I am so happy to see people like you standing up and speaking the truth about these organizations and what they truly stand for. However I would say, it's the older people who are recruiting the youth into these spiritual contacts with other gods! Our elders has failed us time and time again!
May God bless you and your family. Stay safe in the New Year!
WOW!!!!!! laying down your life, the aftermath ... The pain about it woahhhhhhhhhh!!! Thanks sis! this video has brought so much peace.
Thank you for sharing this blessed, timely, and informative word. I am grateful for your obedience to the Holy Spirit in delivering it. "I wanted to be down" at one time, however, there were no lines active during my Undergrad tenure due to Hazing, plus I was working 2 jobs while trying to maintain my GPA so I did not have time anyway. Clearly, the Lord had another plan for my life. Keep preaching the Gospel, the LORD sees you and will reward you. Grace and Peace!
GODfidence!!! Love it sis..You dropped Gems..God is speaking through you.. Blessings in abundance to you🙏
Such a beautiful soul! I felt Christ through you. Thank you so much!
Girl!!! I literally saw the hand of God all over this video! Bless you! ♥️ SOBER TRUTH! 😭
Wow! Thank you!! Glory to God :)
I really enjoyed your prayer sister! Blessings to you ❤️❤️🙌🏽
Klair Fayne blessings to you sis, thanks :)
You literally changed my life with your words. Thank you Jesus.
THIS! Yes Ma'am!!I too denounced several years ago and I understand. The way you broke this down and challenged the people watching this was Holy Spirit led. It is time to contend for the faith. We have to make a decision for Jesus Christ and can no longer straddle the fence and have these mixtures in our hearts. WE have to lay down anything that distracts us from Jesus. Anything that wants to take His place in our hearts. Thank you for your boldness, Praise God for His freedom and deliverance. Having done all to stand, stand therefore, Keep standing my sister in the Lord. Keep standing. Kingdom blessings to you. Invade, Occupy, Take Dominion!!!
I just love Cecilia! This girl is so driven, I love it!! I stand with you sis.. & I hear you
tytieyanna young I love you!!💕
POWERFUL vlog 🙌🏾 You’re amazing!
TishasaurusTV TISH!! YOU are amazing!! Thanks for the encouragement ♥️
Her story is an example of extremes.
I don't put my hope in Alpha Phi Alpha. My faith has always been in God/Allah.
Galen Muhammad im unsure what’s extreme about trying to live fully for Jesus. I get so confused about people that think it’s too deep to give your ALL to God... like why wouldn’t you?
@@cecilliahackett I'm deriving that from your video wherein you stated "putting your hope in your (former) sorority".
My hope and prayer has ALWAYS been in God. Does that prevent me from joining a fraternity? Does that prevent me from having friends, neighbors or co-workers of other faiths? How about YOU....?
I'm not mad at you deciding for yourself. Don't read that into my post. I see how your video is judgemental of others' decision to not leave their sororities and fraternities because they haven't interpreted the Bible as you and some others have. And, of course, your way is the ONLY way to interpret it....
Good questions! Some points of my video will apply to you others may not.
You should try watching the video with opens eyes to what applies to you and what does not. Also... you’re here for a reason yes? 1. Because Jesus wants you’re eyes open to the truth because He is the Truth the Way and the Life. There is no other way to God but through Jesus. 2. He wants your eyes open about greek life. You should meditate more on the fact that you click on this video rather than trying to figure out my intentions and motives in the way that I am led by the Holy Spirit to interpret the Bible.
My hope ain’t never left God even before becoming Greek
@@cecilliahackett As a Muslim, I know Jesus/`Isa to be a prophet of Allah/God. As Muslims, we don't have to same belief that "the only way to God is to be 'Muslim'". Our focus is on what Allah/God wants us to do.
Im glad. Im a highschooler who was introduced to sorities in my freshmen year. I wanted to become a delta apart of the divine nine. And now i love this video
To God be the glory!…. Denounced/ renounced one month ago. I will be giving my testimony soon.
Amen Glory to God . I went to South Carolina State right next to ur school . U r brave and amazing , the fact despite what people might say u r standing by God
Beautifully said. Congratulations because I went on a similar journey. I have denounced as well. Everything good is not God but everything God is good.
Gwyneth Hobson thank you!! And Glory to God!
What group were you apart of?
I have had nothing but positive experiences in my sorority. Yes the money can be pretty annoying but with me traveling a lot it’s been great to know I have a sisterhood all across the country 💚💞
thanks for your comment! You should check out my second video: "Are Greek Orgs. Ungodly?" Not everything that is positive is God. I'm glad your experience was great! :) However, that doesn't conclude that the orgs are best for your relationship with Christ.
Cecillia Hackett Not everyone lives your life sis .🙄😂😂😂😂😂
K Mashel yep! Lol, that’s accurate and obvious. I’m not sure how you jumped to this comment because it’s clear to me that I don’t think anyone’s life is like my own.
But what about your soul...
Why can't we just have sister hood without being greek? Greek people are not acting black. Nonetheless you are still my sister even if im not greek. Take Care.
My goodness wow the truth will set you free.Thank you for sharing.
I like how you got your point across without even mentioning the sorority of your prior choices.
Awesome! Welcome to RUclips!!! I’ll be watching and waiting for the next video!
Michel'le Jackson thanks Michel’le!! ♥️♥️
Praise be to God for your obedience and boldness in denouncing as well as sharing your testimony! You're impacting the Kingdom of God in a good day! Thank God for the truth of His Word and His Holy Spirit who leads and guides us! Bless you my Sis!
Terrell Spivey thank you! Glory to God and amen 🙏🏽
@@cecilliahackett yes indeed my sister!! God be praised! I sent you a friend request on fb day before yesterday!
I wanna denounce the chapter, not the fraternity
I have much love for Claflin University.
I know it very well and many family members attended this great school. I was next door at the other great institution. Be Blessed young lady and keep up the good work.
Hello. I'm also Greek. I have seen plenty of denouncing videos and yours is the first that makes sense. Although, I may not share your exact sentiments, I appreciate your content being oriented in a relationship with Christ. Some other videos are only about the pledging process/hazing. So it felt a bit self serving. This video adds perspective and reference points. I've definitely wrestled with the rituals and practices so yeah..something to think about. I've never put my organization before God and never will. So great job. Very direct and unbiased. Sorry about your experience but I'm proud of your obedience.
I really can appreciate this comment! So so so many people that are affiliated to greek life are closed up to even listen, so this says comment says a lot of your character and willingness to listen to different perspectives than your own, which is awesome! Thanks a lot, this comment was super encouraging!! :)
I love this! The crazy thing is I really am not even considering Greek life. I still watched this video and I still got a Word out of it because of how you were talking about the ways the Holy Spirit warns you and how your spirit is never comfortable in disobedience. That spoke to me in a completely different aspect of my life and I just want to thank you for posting this!
Excellent video. So clear and passionate.
Your so beautiful with such a calm peaceful way about you. The light of God shines through you and it shows and im really glad to hear your story, loved your message. Your amazing girl, God bless you.
God bless you! Thank you :)
Orangeburg, SC in the house....my home town. Happy for you....follow your convictions.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I resonated with it completely and just want to say, you have a calling on your life. Keep it up girl, God’s got big plans for you (:
Juliet McGee thank you! Glory to God! ♥️
I too thought about joining a sorority and honestly I've thought about it now post grad. However, i always discern the same thing i did 5 years ago and that is if I am for Him I will not join when I know it will require idolizing something that isn't Him. It is deeper than "Greek life just isn't for everyone" and I guess the same can be said on the other side, "Everyone isn't His". Ive watched alot of videos regarding this topic and I have yet to find one where someone can say yes they are in it and at the same time align Scripture with it. Thats what i was looking for to get the green light and I didn't find it. I also feel like joining Greek is a lot more spiritual than many may think. Words and rituals are so impactful, you never know how pledging to something can effect your life eternally. It's a lot to unpack for sure in this topic! God is good!
Love this video! While I did not get to this point, when looking back on my beginning in joining a sisterhood I realize that in many moments where I thought I was being tested by God on how much I wanted to be in a sorority, I now see that it was God showing me that this path was not his path. It definitely is such a hard thing to talk about, but I know that your testimony will help many others follow in God's footsteps as well.
Amen!!
everybody’s posting these, what’s going on with these sororities?
Good question. I think thatGod is opening the eyes of many to see beyond 'what's normal'. Greek orgs are pretty much a societal norm and widely accepted... Just because it's "normal" and been around for a long time people typically don't question its foundation. For the most part, they just join unknowingly and ignorant. And I believe God sees that and is opening the eyes of those that want to see and want to be led by Him, to see the truth behind these organizations.
Bowing down and kneeling and pledging one's life (mind, body, and soul) away to an organization is not normal, and I think people are beginning to take note of things like that, that occur in Greek organizations. I think that's what's going.
Fred Price Jr. preached against Fraternities and Sororities and devil worship in the Church and they came after him watch ruclips.net/video/6nl8ExxJDS0/видео.html ...realtalk
Right like is this a new movement or something?
I've noticed this too
This video was really good. You do talk extremely fast, but I talk a lot too. Not that fast though, but hey, it’s called PASSION. I love it! Good work!
Derrick Black yeah, I didn’t want the video to be centuries long so I was trying to move quickly through everything lol 😄 I’ve been told I talk fast in the past as well, guess it’s true!
Hello. I want to commend you for being so bold and denouncing your former Greek org. I've read through some of the comments that people have left in response to your video and I notice that those who are in orgs know what you're talking about, but don't want to admit that you're right. They must have a sense of conviction because they're here watching the video. They'll begin to see the things that you're talking about because God's word is a seed and it's planted by way of this video. Keep your boldness for Christ sis, it's making a difference!
I went to State 😭hey from across the fence👋🏾! I’m an sgrho, but I thankfully had/have a different experience than your sorority. I do agree that some ppl join these organizations and look at them on pedestals and idolize them, that is where many are lost.
Honey Bea hey Soror! I come across these videos and wonder how this stuff happens. I joined the org for the service we provide the community not for the popularity or anything that comes along with it.
I'm a member of Delta Sigma Theta for 14 years and am currently active. My experience is nothing to what she and other folks who have denounced their membership. At the end of the day, my heart will always be 100% to God. I feel bad for these new greeks who join sororities and fraternities for reasons that doesnt relate to what their FOUNDERS created. I pray that their soul is complete before joining.
She sought out God... and this is what HE told her to do.... not everyone has that experience with God because of their own personal relationship with HIM... he maybe indeed speaking to you and you are listening. There are a lot of things in life that are disguised as Good and are not of God.... IJS🤷🏽♀️
I DON'T KNOW WHY ALL THESE VIDEOS POPPING UP IN MY RECOMMENDS BUT I BEEN SO ATTACH IN THESE VIDEOS I'M 14 AND MY AUNTIE IS 25 AND SHE'S IN THE DELTA SORORITY SHE GOES TO CHURCH EVERY SUNDAY...
BUT IT BOTHERS ME TO HEAR ALL THE SECRETS THAT'S GOING ON BEHIND DOORS AND I'M TRULY CONSIDERED ABOUT MY AUNTIE IN THESE GREEK SORORITY AND I;M GONNA SEND HER THESE RUclips LINKS
CAUSE WHAT THE DELTA SORORITY IS DOING IS TAKING VERSES OUT THE BIBLE BUT CHANGING WORDS FROM THE VERSE AND THAT'S JUST MIND BLOWING TO ME BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE PLEDGING TO THIS ''CHRISTIAN VERSE'' ...
ANYWAY I AM VERY HAPPY GOD GAVE YOU MANY SIGNS TO JUST LEAVE AND BE WITH HIM AND TO SHARE YOUR OUT YOUR STORY THAT;S SAVING OTHER CHRISTIANS SOULS FROM BEING ''BRAIN WASHED'' TO THIS .. YOU KNOW...
APPRECIATE YOU BEING STRONG ENOUGH TO SHARE YOUR STORY!! THANK YOU
PRYNCESS SHAAA my mind is blown. You’re 14. Like I don’t know if you know how big of deal it is to pay attention to matters like this at such a young age.
Girl, God is going to use you mightily for your generation. You are going to be able to hear Him so clearly and are going to steer MANY to the truth. Don’t ever allow anyone to silence you because of your age or because you’re not saying what they want to hear.
Concerning your aunt, I would definitely PRAY for her eyes to be open. Pray before you say anything because she may get offended because it’s a sensitive subject for people that have been devoted to being Greek for a great deal of their lives. Pray God softens her heart, that she’s willing to hear you and Him out, ask God to speak through you and the Holy Spirit to lead you, pray for wisdom and discernment to know when to speak and when not to speak, and just ask God to begin to show her the TRUTH about Greek orgs.
I believe you seeing these videos is not by coincidence. I believe you’re seeing these videos because God is opening up your eyes to something very important in the Body of Christ at an early age. He wants to use you to help others be led away from these organizations. This is not just by chance, it’s God and He has placed an anointing on your life that will shake nations.
Be bold and always walk in love and kindness sweet girl ♥️ I’m excited about your future and your aunt being led to the truth! I’m rooting for you :)
@@cecilliahackett Thanks for your encouraging words!! and I know that Gods the reason I been watching all of these denouncing my letters video's and I strongly believe that GOD opened my eyes to these videos was to teach me and show me the importance in how not knowing he's word.
Lucifer can use words that sounds godly and positive to trick Gods believers in believing they are worshiping the LORD when that's not the case.
For an example The rituals it may read "give your all TRUST, FAITH and LOVE will go to the king almighty king of LIGHT"
There's a problem there the only person your all go to is GOD! not no light,angel,teacher,celebrity, food etc. ONLY GOD. I' m truly happy to know these things and it wouldn't never happened if GOD never empower you and many others to come out to tell the TRUTH! behind the these secrete sorority's
THANK YOU!!! ❤ And see you will never know who's watching and who's life you've changed around tremendously!!
And i prayed last night that hoping that my auntie wasn't in the delta sorority and luckily she's not she in the sorority called "AKA" I'm gonna keep praying that God keeps leading her in the right path towards him.
do you have any social media ? i can follow you on
The fact that you’re 14 and you understand that Greek life is not of God 👏🏾💕
Baby girl!!! Look at God working through you.. even me being 27..u are an inspiration to me ♥️♥️
@@KalamitySnow Aww!! 😫💙 THANK YOU!!
Girl you ministered to me and I’m not in a sorority!!! I needed this!
But there are many things that fall under a few categories when it comes into making it into the Kingdom.
God bless you sis! You betta preach! "Pride"...made the hairs on my arms stand...God has great things planned for your life!
SouthernCurls J amen!! Glory to God and thank you ♥️
Obedience is better than sacrifice! I did not grow in my relationship to God until college. By then pledging AKA was already a dream I had for years. God allowed me to go through the process, cross and bring in my first and only line before telling me loudly, this Idolatry is not pleasing to me. I couldn't shake the conviction in my heart and there were no such videos in the 90s so I simply stepped away and refrained from all activities. No one understood my decision, not even devout Christians I spoke to for years who were greek. I felt like an island and although I missed my sisters for some time it was too difficult to be around them when they were still actively involved. I chose to listen to God's voice rather than my own yearning
All the best to you my dear ....you are on an amazing journey for the now and the coming Kingdom of the Almighty Creator of Heaven and Earth! All praises to the Most High!! Although I never pledged Greek in college, the drawing of the Holy Spirit was so so real and this is very reminiscent of a journey I have experienced all my life!! Know that greater is He that is in you than he/she that is in the world! You have the prayers and hopes of many that will see this and be encouraged and blessed. Stay encouraged...all the best. Halleluyah!🙇🏾♀️🙆🏾♀️🙌🏾💝💖
Awesome Testimony
Whew ! Denouncing videos usually make me roll my eyes quickly and I cannot deny that this one did the same thing at first however I wanted to watch and hear your story. I was wondering why I never saw you post anything about the sorority but I just thought it was personal preference, not realizing you had left. From following you on social media, I see a lot of positive messages and I was like "oh let me see what she has to say". I loved how you said discussion can lead to discovery, that was "a word" -- Now as a proud member of the organization you left, I must say, I love the Lord and we have a great relationship. I truly believe in the spirit and what it is doing with my life; in the flesh I would never be following purpose and passion while leading others to Him and His promises.
In the six years I've been involved with said organization, my faith as grown tremendously, yet and still, no feeling leading to denouncing. I understand everyone's walk with Christ is different so I'm not here to downplay your decision but to simply inquire about a few things.
I often wonder, not just from your situation, but others alike. Was this decision because of the chapter, the location, the amount of people, the lack of research, the personal disconnect or the similar. Not saying that God didn't tell you to leave but also wondering what other factors played a role in such a sudden change of heart.
I would love to know if you did any real research prior to? I heard you say you wanted to join for your own personal gain so it leads me to ask, was this just a selfish move that you realized wasn't for you? I ask this because the turnover was very quick. If the "signs" were there prior to, why continue and waste your time, energy and money? It would be presumed that in any large or small body of females, especially collegiate aged females that everything wouldn't always be peachy. Nonetheless, thanks for sharing with the world and not bashing those of us who chose to keep our letters too harshly. I look forward to your response as I've never really felt comfortable to question someone who denounced but you warmly welcomed discussion and comments.
Tabitha Tiny Tab James Yay! I’m super thankful that you shared your perspective, experience being Greek, and questions!! Just wanted to start off by saying thank you :)
Okay so Glory be to God that your relationship with Christ has grown so much while still being Greek!! I’ve heard of the opposite happening more often, so that’s awesome to hear!
So yes, I often tell people that had I been at a different chapter, at different school I would probably still be Greek. However, that doesn’t mean I would be in the will of God for my life. I believe that God used the specific chapter I was apart of to help get my attention and show me what I needed to see. Had it been a different chapter I would have been cared for and possibly more appreciated by those I pledged with and it would have been even more difficult for me to see that Greek life wasn’t God’s best for me. So yes, the chapter was definitely used to play a role in my decision making.
And yes again , I did VERY little research on Greek organizations and what the pledging process was like because I knew it was something I wanted to do. I didn’t feel like research was necessary because my mind was already made up. When I started to go through the process, (and I’ll talk about this in the part 2 video) I was a little caught off guard by what was happening which triggered a red flag alert because 1. It wasn’t expected. 2. It was extremely strange to me.
And yes, this was indeed a self-promoting, selfish move that was focused primarily on myself. Of course, I had community and impact in mind but it revolved around me. Many, not all of course, other Greeks have self-promotion in mind that is centered on themselves. No, that’s not always a bad thing, however, very often can be linked to pride which can quickly make it a bad thing.
I completely ignored the signs. Like I said in the video, my mind and heart was sold out because I couldn’t see pass myself. I wasn’t really concerned about God’s opinion because I wanted what I wanted. And on top of that, I didn’t really take the signs seriously because I was so focused on becoming an aka.
And lastly, I didn’t really have sisterhood in mind when I pledge. When I say that I mean, that wasn’t something I was super excited about. So the lack of sisterhood didn’t bother me nor did I expect it to be perfect, but I did expect to be respected. I believe that all those factors, including the disrespect from the people I pledged with, God used to get my attention off of myself and on to Him.
I’m soooo happy you felt comfortable enough to voice your opinion and questions!! I think the culture we live in is so focused on seeing from our own individual perspectives that we often mute out, or disqualify other’s opinions because we think ours is the only one that matters. I also want to thank you for being someone who is Greek and willing to watch and listen to my own personal journey. So it goes without saying, I genuinely appreciate your words and commentary more than you know. ♥️💕
why ACCEPT HAZING; I’m a member of THE PHIRST PHAM and I NEVER went through any hazing...I had Corporate on speed Dial email waiting for the ignorants to try ME...they never did and I am a PROUD PHIRST PHAM
Oh she was clearly selfish. You can always sense it in their language
AKA is affiliated with the false god Atlas. The Bible clearly discusses God’s feelings about false gods. In addition, the rituals manipulate scripture, incantations, bowing to dead founders (ancestor worship), evil altars. It’s a big mess if you are a Christian, AKA does not align with the Bible. Where in the Bible does it say it is ok for you to be aligned with a false god? Greek gods are actually talked about in the Bible. I denounced AKA after almost 30 years of membership.
God loves you! This is an awesome video! Especially when you were discussing about self reflections of disobedience, sin, and being completely selfish. Very encouraging. May he bless you abundantly! 🙏❤️
At first you were like Jonah, praise the Lord you overcame the doubt and fear and became obedient to tell the truth in love, the Greek fraternities and sororities are not of God, the great I Am, Yeshua, Jesus Christ. Amen joining the sorority was completely selfish, pride, characteristics that should NOT be apart of a person who claims to be a Christian. Amen Godfidence! Amen God's purpose, God's truth, God's ministry.
Awsome daughter of Zion coming out from under the children of the Goat to be amongst the children of the sheep! All praise be to the Power of YAH and his son Yahshua.
Please consider mentoring to younger women. I’m starting my career in education and I know you would be so powerful in mentoring these young women. You’ve helped me and I’ve already graduated but you helped me to understand myself and God even more and I’m 26 😂. Much love to you queen✨ keep thriving !
Congratulations Dear One!! When you stand before God you will not have to worry about disobedience. Had you not passed that temptation you would have faced countless opportunities to ignore God and follow your own heart. But because you flexed that obedience muscle it will continue to grow stronger
You're so cute and so genuine and sweet and I'm subscribing! Sending you love and light sister in Christ!
As a Claflin Alumni I just remember seeing the obsession around Greek organizations and I at one point I did want to pledge but decided against it. But all of that aside, this video spoke VOLUMES to me about how I am with God. I feel DISCOMFORT all of the time especially when I fornicate. You were definitely preaching! and something was telling me that this message was for me because it was. Thank you for speaking about your experience!
I love your Holy Boldness! God's Grace covered you...👍🏾
I denounced my membership also.
What group were you in?
I love this sister. So strong;serious and about business. Go ahead girl,I'm happy for you.
darren smith I appreciate it!! :)
The part about speaking so fast🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂 I can relate! Praise God and great video!
New Subscriber !! I’m only 2 mins in and I’m already geeked about your channel
Ahh I love your personality and how real you are!
Okay let me go continue watching
Yes!! A relationship with Jesus Christ is what is needed! They can't hear because either the Holy Spirit is not in them, or they just won't listen.
You have created Such a great video,I shared it on Facebook. I hope it travels as it should.
Love this. Sometimes we have to do things or come into contact with ppl to be taught a lesson and then led out of it by God.
Amber U amen!! :)
I have a hard time understanding PanHellenic sororities. Coming from the Panhellenic, we don't see these kinds of issues. More Panhellenic sororities are God based. From what I have seen, a lot of initiating into PanHellenic has a LOT of vanity. Difference in Pride and vanity. Initiations for Panhellenic sororities are private, not so public. It's for members only. You would be surprised how many other sororities have a God perspective. In the last decade, Panhellenic rush has seen an increase in black women going through. I have heard so many horror stories from the PanHellenic side. Feel for you and God bless you. Keep God close and don't let go. I really enjoy your spirituality. Blessings.
Amy Kolterman yeah, I’m speaking specifically on divine 9. Not really other orgs. However, some of the issues I experienced can definitely develop in nongreek and Greek orgs apart from the divine 9 organizations, my perspective is based on my exposure to the divine 9 orgs :)
I think we on the same page! 😅
Young Lady,I'm of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, inc. However,I feel your pain for which on an undergrad level it would appear that the LEADERS on the hill top high didn't do their job well. Allowing the undergrads to define their own goals/rules. Why you didn't you report to the proper channels.So sorry for your bad experience 💚
Girl!! I do not know you but I am PROUD of you!! You are so anointed!! And i believe you are a preacher!! Continue to preach God's Word world wide. May your 2020 be blessed❤😊
Everyone says to listen to god or get close. HOW DO YOU LISTEN TO HIM, how to i know what he’s saying that is why I’m not close to god idk wtf I’m doing and it’s frustrating
justin hunte I wish you knew how much I feel this. My guy, it’s NOT easy. Even when you know Him and have a relationship, there are times He grows quiet. It’s all so intentional... I know personally how frustrating this thing gets, but I know even more that it is WORTH IT!! Just don’t give up... if you keep trying, keep reading the Bible, and keep praying; asking God to help you to hear Him, you will be able to!! He isn’t hiding from you, He is speaking all the time, just be patient and allow Him to reveal Himself to you in ways maybe you didn’t expect.
I would encourage first to get with or attend a local church.... make sure you pray and ask God first to direct your path in where you should go... Understand that God wants you to talk to him ( through prayer) don’t think you have to pray a certain way.... God sees your heart and he understands.... it’s in baby steps we grow and learn how to walk....also ask God to put people in your circle that will help you in your journey to him. This journey can be very confusing.... that’s why it’s important to get connect to someone who can assist you....
God bless you! May He continue to speak and order your steps.
Audwin Scott God bless!
@@cecilliahackett , I just broke up with a woman because I was trying to show her that being in these organizations was not what God wants for us as Christians. She said shes never going to stop being in her sorority and that I was being judgemental. I will continue to pray that God reveal to her that this is not the direction in where he wants her to go!
The FUNNIEST thing I’ve ever heard in my life . “I don’t judge people that’s clearly doing what’s against the word of God”😂. That’s was so hilarious. I love this video .
Being Greek is not for everyone Gods plan for everyone’s life is different and that’s okay
Unfortunately Greek life is idolatry. Idolatry is not in God's plan for any of his children.
THE REAL REASON WHY YOU ARE BRAVE...IS BECAUSE OTHERS F US DENOUNCED WAY LATER...YOU, BEAUTIFUL SPIRIT, ARE SILL CURRENTLY ON THE YARD, BABE!! COURAGEOUS...
Hello I am also a Claflin Alumni. I graduated from there in 2007. The campus life was good but I never pledged. It just wasnt my thing. I did not like the way that some people changed when they cross over. Some even lost friends behind that and I mean true friends. I also saw when people pushed friends and even their own family aside when they"come out" as a sorority and fraternity member. I just wish you the best and let God lead you where he wants you to go. I was about to pledge when I got there too but I saw how arrogant and hurtful others can be. I am not talking about all Greeks. There are some good ones who stand by what they say and do.
Sharmain Spann nice to meet you, I appreciate you sharing your perspective! ☺️
God Bless you my sister in Christ, great video! I just recently posted why I denounced Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc. BE ENCOURAGED! God bless you!!! 🙏🏾🙌🏾
Your awesome and brave. People have different experiences with Greek and it’s great see your perspective and experience. Keep doing you. And the fact that you comment to everyone’s comment in this video😳😳.
A strong move. VERY STRONG.
100G D*S amen!!
I "had to" sit through multiple moving into dorm videos and then onto moving into sororities videos and then why I stopped rushing videos to finding out about black greek sororities and people leaving them to get to this video. This video is something my Spirit needed to hear. Even as a 42-year-old non-college educated white woman who has been a "Christian" literally all of my life, I needed this check. Thank you for listening to the Holy Spirit.
I have been an Alpha Kappa Alpha women for over 30 years and my stay in it has been great. My membership has not put a strain on my relationship with God. It is as strong as ever. I will continue my membership. Unfortunately, a lot of people pledge for identity purposes but there's something lacking in that person. It's not the blame if sororities and fraternities. A lot of people lose their way and allow these things to control them and they forget about everything else. That's that person's fault. My sorority happens to be one of the best things I've ever done. I love being an AKA and I have not lost who I am and who God is. Blame the fact that you lost yourself once you pledged on you.
Girl Bye
Mary Bowers but isn’t she entitled to her opinion? What worked for you may not be her journey. You can hear her out without being condescending; which means you don’t have to agree with. And everyone’s Christian walk may not be that of yours. That’s a major problem in the black church and why so many millennials stray away from the church. Let’s be fair with her. Pray for her. Don’t berate her.
The biggest thing with these orgs, whether black, white, brown etc, is the symbolism and rituals behind them. What the symbols represent, who the figures in the rituals are etc. Matt 5:33-37 speaks on never taking an oath such as this, as does James 5:12. Think about what the mystery schools of Babylon and Egypt are all about.
Was actually thinking about transferring to Claflin after receiving my associates degree. Realized that a PWI isn't for me (even though I tried to convince myself that it was).
If you feel led to, you should go for it! It's a great school with lots of opportunity!
Cecillia Hackett thank you! I'm going to definitely pray on it some more!
I’m currently in the process of denouncing my letters and membership in Delta Sigma Theta. I pray that God continue to use you to be a force in this generation. Thank you for letting Him use you to spread the truth. Blessings sis
@A O K I definitely agree with you that the financial and time consuming portion is a factor but for me it was more so for spiritual reasons. What we devote our time, talent and in this case funds to can be an eye opener to where heart our lies. And for me personally I need my heart to rest in Jesus.
Amen! Glory be to God!!! I pray He uses you as well sis :)
Thanks for sharing. What is the name or source of the Christian worship music playing in the background? I love it!
Stay blessed 💗
Love Jones thank you 🙏🏽 ♥️
you are a blessing ...never be quiet!
Hi -I’m a Delta. I agree that Greek isn’t a fit for everyone - one size doesn’t always fit all. A common thread often for denouncing is religious conflict; expecting church at non-religious platforms? I won’t fail church for not being collegiate enough. Or sporting enough. It’s not their main focus. Keep looking until you find or create the right blend for you. A religious sorority maybe. Good video. Blessings!
Super good point! So the expectation isn't church, or even religious affiliation. The lack of Christ isn't the root of the problem, the person-centeredness is. The organizations bring glory to the person being the founders, and the members. They exalt the organization, the founders, and the members higher than Christ. They require the members to give their life to the organization, not God. The problem is that these organizations are deeply spiritual, but are not Christian spiritual. The rituals, the pledges, all that is conducted in becoming a member is very spiritual. However, if Christ is not at the center of this spiritualness, what is?
I don't pledge or perform rituals for ordinary non-religious organizations because they are not spiritual. Greek organizations are indeed spiritual because of what has to be done to be apart of them. That's where the religious conflict is. A subliminally spiritual organization that is not centered on Christ. Church is not the expectation. The organizations either need to be 100% not spiritual, or 100% spiritual. If they are 100% spiritual and references the Bible, or Christ in the organization, Christ needs to be the #1 spiritual presence in the org.
Cecillia Hackett girl speak!!!!!
Greek Organizations are ok if you are not wanting to go to Heaven. The only other place is the Lake of Fire for those that try to serve two masters.
#HBCU Love! God Bless you !
Halaluyah, take a look at " The Path to YAHUAH" channel the full message is there, I can feel your genuineness and the Ruahk/Spirit is growing you, great video and peace daughter of Zion, and don't forget the Greeks persercuted the Hebrew Israelites from Yahudah/Judah whom the Messiah belonged to, also the Greeks changed the name of the Messiah to isus to iesous to jesus, but his true Hebrew name is YAHUsha haMashyahk Acts 4:12, seek his word especially the so-called old testament
Oh my gosh, Amen 👩🏽💻🙏🏽! You are an amazing empowering female without the letters. I am grateful for you and your relationship with god, as you grow and work through everything it will strengthen y’all bond. Weather or weather not everything is working wonders right now. That is always a beautiful thing to have faith and be honest with yourself, but Miss Compton🥰. Yes Girl, us black girls must keep changing the world on more then a social platform. It should be economically and environmental changed as well, because of the history with are ethnic & cultural background. Congratulations for a higher position and a chance to change overall mindsets with your leadership🦋. That’s so great, because you have a extension in your story ! You was most definitely sold on you opinion, but everything happens for a reason. So, you are right ! You’ve made you choose and it was your choose. Everything was for you and it was all for a REASON. You have a PURPOSE, now fulfill your mission🌻.
Fake reality is so true, it goes with fake news and more. What is the flavor girl? People are blind! Pride is horrible, it goes hand and hand with people big ass egos 🤦🏽♀️.
I am really feeling this video, so many different components. Pride was not mainly were this came from girl. I am actually glad you made this, because I’ve heard and seen so much with both PWIs and HBCUs. It’s sad, because I’ve been blind to everything “behind seen”. God-fidence😌💰, I must share. yes ! I wish I wouldn’t knew more before I actually came to college to create something more. I love that we actually have sisterhood at my HBCU and hopefully it will be great for me next year 😫! This is a lot, because I didn’t even look for this video, but it was in things I was interested in. I actually love the way you was talking, so calm and open. I wish people was like that and not so uptight and bothered by everything, but yessss. I know, I go to a HBCU and it’s like every where I go I hear and see the divine 9. PWIs was just worse with so much cruel activity 🤦🏽♀️, but I understand the difference in HBCUs that can be small, because at Cheyney I don’t see what everyone else is discussing or talking about when it comes to many social, economic, development or personal things at our school and with our students. I wish people could see that I am STRONG about my HBCU and I do have passion to change or develop a new path of success for my legacy at this school, but I can not do this change alone. Society must see the importance and care about education, they shouldn’t see or hear about color. Schools already pick us based of what money they can make of us and how they can keep making money of us! Why try to “fit in” ? Why try to be “accepted”? I am not going to lie, I have been extremely interested in these since I was in 6 grade. Now I am scared to even go try, because it would be so hard knowing I wanted something for so long and it’s not what I wanted it to be. I honestly don’t see it now that I’m in college actually living around it . However, I went to a PWI at first and I heard horrible things about Greeks that I didn’t know existed. Actually a lot of harassment and harmful acts constructed slavery. It was sickening, but I still would’ve tried until I found out my friend has been extremely hurting from it. Thank you so much Girl❤️. I just wanted sisters and a social interaction, so I was willing to “pay for friends” type thing🤦🏽♀️. I wasn’t okay with paying for that pain, so STAY STRONG 💅🏽! I would’ve been uncomfortable too, so they can F*** OFF ! It really got me think about so much. I know that this is more of a powerful networking opportunity that you must pay for and be accepted into, but is that what we should be teaching each other ? It’s okay to not be okay, is that a lesson here? It is..., pain and suffering is hard to heal from! Making it up with girls who have also been hurt, is that are bonding tool? No. EVERYONE is good ENOUGH! We shouldn’t have to stoop low to make certain people feel accepted. 1. Everyone is going through something and if they aren’t they will be. That’s not necessarily a good or bad thing, but you need to overcome challenges and struggles in life to grow. 2. You never know what someone has been through or going through. This is important when you have been effect traumatically or In other hurtful/painful ways, now this is happening. Does hazing equal slavery? Is this what are people fought for ? No. I believe they wanted equal opportunities for are PEOPLE✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿. We should always have that, because the white man will always make us work for him. Do for him, be for him. What about us? Remember when we was taken and brought here. They was mad that we “took their jobs”, NO. They took us, let’s STOP THE Horrible acts against EACH OTHER. I live where I see violence and crime oh so much, I wanted to escape to college for knowledge, sisters, experiences and more. Why should I not get that ? I should be scarred more from horrible acts ?

Goldie Leone yeah my mom decided to pull that on us 😊 nice to meet you! 💕
All praises to the most high Yah❤️
I REJOICE over you: renouncing is a BIG and RIGHTEOUS DEAL, HALALUYAH! I greatly appreciate your transparency - the truth is so freeing! HalleluYAH!
Keep dying daily, denying yourself, taking up His tree and following Him!
Yes, these organizations are about teaching members to walk in pride, trusting in SELF and MAN, not trusting in YAHUAH, our Provider.
...and this is THE BEGINNING of you encountering your true identity: you are Hebrew.
So, "Jesus" is a Greek name; He was NOT Greek, He was Israelite. He was NOT "JEWISH," as those imposters (Rev 2:9; Rev 3:9), currently occupying Israel. His name is Yahusha, "Salvation." Yashusha was Hebrew, Who came for "the house of the lost sheep of Israel." He came back for Israel...YES, Israel (called by His Name), who was "divorced" from YAH (read Jeremiah 3).
"God," which one? "God," Lord," are TITLES, not names. What is His Name? Mosheh asked in Exodus 3.
I am YAHUAH ELOHAYKA, Who have brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim [Egypt], out of the house of bondage.
You shall have no other elohiym [taking an oath, pledging, is to another god] before Me.
You shall not make unto you any graven image [those mascots, elephants, etc.], or any likeness of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
You shall not bow down yourself to them, nor serve them: for I YAHUAH ELOHAYKA am a jealous EL, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me;"
SHEMOTH (EXODUS) 20:2-5 את CEPHER
Much love and prayers to you, achoti (sister)! 🤗♥️😙❤👊🏿
Praise God. Another one of His children saved 🤗
serious question: what camera/equipment is this? and thank you SO MUCH for this🙏🏽
My pleasure! and Canon T6i I believe.
I’m thinking about starting a GDI org on my campus for people who don’t feel comfortable with the Divine 9 rituals
Michelle how would a GDI know the rituals?
Amen! God makes you successful long term. The “blessings” from the enemy are ephemeral.
Fantastic!
