#19 - "Criss Cross" - Tamara L. Bennett
Line Name (s) and how you got them:
"Criss Cross" - I missed the bus to come back from spring break and was given this name because of the song by Kris Kross "I Missed The Bus".
"Speak No Evil" - I was given this name because I was so quiet when we were all together and big sisters would forget I was even there. Believe me that was done on purpose.
What's your favorite memory online?
One of my favorite memories from being online is our "hell week". We complained the whole time about having to stay in that cramped apartment, but that is when I believe we became the closest. By the time we crossed, I had a group of sisters, that I will always wish the best.
Here's where you BRAG about yourself.
There are a bunch of milestones in my life that I am happy to have achieved and some that I am still working out (this doctoral dissertation has been a thorn in my side for years) but I am overall proud of the person that I have become. I remember getting to Morris Brown and being so timid and afraid to speak up, but I think I have found my voice. I am also thankful for the people I have in my life who continuously help me become a better me. I am at a point in my life where I don't feel like I have to be ashamed of the choices I have made and ready to enjoy this phase of my life.
Knowing what you know now, what advice would you give your 1995 self?
I would tell my 1995 self not to be so concerned with what others think of me and focus on what makes me happy in the moment.
What's the one thing every woman should have ...and what's the one thing every Delta woman should have?
Every woman should have a friend that she can confide in without being judged. Every Delta should have a Soror that holds her accountable for her oath she took to be a Delta and to stay active at any level in our sorority.
Name one thing on your bucket-list that you will complete during our 20th Anniversary year? Related to Delta or not.
I want to start my own business. Hopefully I will stop procrastinating and get it done.
What line sister (s) do you wish you would have gotten to know better during our process?
I wish I had gotten closer to Raymonia and Donetha.
Does your line name still fit? If not, what name would you give yourself today?
I think that since both of my line names came from specific events, they really don't apply today, but I do know when to "Speak No Evil" when I need to. :)
