Today, I am at the Sorority House complex with
the sisters and founders of Second Life’s newest Sorority who is currently
recruiting new members- Alpha Delta Rho. While most would consider such to be
nothing more than social club, or just another group, these ladies are serious
about sisterhood, kinship, friendship and personal development.
Accepting the privilege of being allowed on
the complex and freely perusing the expansive house grounds, you can see the
hard work and the dedication that each of the founders and its leaders has put
into this endeavor- this isn’t just another FAD Group or Club. It’s a group of
women who sincerely believe that women are subjected to a great deal of
negativity even in today’s modern society.
They believe that within each of them, there’s
something that is distinctly female, and when properly nurtured, that
individual can rise above societal expectations, and what society has adapted
them to be, and make strides toward becoming who they were created to become.
It was founded on common ideals of loyalty, trust, dedication, friendship,
kinship, and sisterhood; a bond that is immeasurable.
The symbolism in the Alpha Delta Rho crest
seemingly reiterates those values with a Chain, Rose, Butterfly and Heart. The
Chain represents the bond and strength between the sisters and the sorority,
while the butterfly is a representation of the transformation that takes place.
The Yellow Tea Rose is the sororities flower, it signifies good cheer, renewal
and hope and is in celebration of that which is female. The heart symbol is
composed of imagery linked to living, loving and laughing.
They aspire to reach out to women all across
Second Life, so that they too can join in this experience of sisterhood. While
they are new establishment, they aspire and are dedicated to making themselves
known by participating in charity events, modeling opportunities, theatre and
art, individual business establishments, art and music.
Meeting with the ladies of Alpha Delta Rho
today, I made further inquiry.
