Initiation!
 

Tonight is initiation for all the pledges! There are 20 girls in my pledge class whom of which I adore! I cannot wait for pledge retreat and other fun stuff I get to do with them! I am also already holding my breath for big/lil revealing! Haha, who doesn't love presents?!
EXCITED! As always!

Congrats!

I'm a little confused... do you mean initiation as in you become a full fledged sister or something more of a pinning ceremony (if you can share of course). I hope I don't come across as rude & congrats again!

You mean NM initiation, right? Not sister initiation?

Yes, she means initiation into the pledge class (aka pinning) not initiation into the sisterhood.

:D
 

I was a little confused on this as well, but yes it was initiation into the pledge class. Pinning cermony.
WHICH WAS BEAUTIFUL!!!!
And then we got presents from our bigs, and god if mine doesn't know me super well already. She got me things to give me hints to who she is, but these items played directly into who I am. It was a red boa, a bubble gun, nerds, chocolate pretzels, and a weird magical bag that makes ice cream?! I haven't tried it yet. But I wore the boa the entire night and when I got home I ran around my house in my pj's and the boa blowing bubbles everywhere. My husband was laughing at me in his "please-calm-down-you-crazy-girl" kind of laugh he has developed since we got married. I tend to get excited like a 4 year old :D

Our pledge meetings are Sundays at 8pm and honestly, I don't know how I am going to go a whole week every week without seeing all these amazing girls.

And FYI, my pledge mom is amazing.


Help! I just tried to post a picture from photobucket and it didn't work :(

^^^ I'm so happy everything has worked out so well for you! Sounds like you're having a blast. :)

Do most NALFO and NPHC organizations take graduate students? I was under the impression that they did. I didn't know where I could post this question, I figured I would just post it to my own thread and hope someone would find it.
Also, the 2 sororities that accept grad students are Alpha Xi Delta and Phi Sigma Sigma, but just because they are allowed to take graduate students, doesn't mean that they will.

Just curious :)

Everything with OPhiA is going beautifully. I love my pledge class and my pledge mom!

It varies with NALFO organizations. NALFO does not regulate whether or not graduate students can join collegiate chapters, so an interest would need to contact his/her organization of choice to figure out its policies.
