I preffed Adpi & DG. I thought all week I was going to go DG. I even wrote in my little journal that I wanted to be a sailor girl and all that cute stuff. When push came to shove though I was blown away by Adpi's pref ceremony and the famous "Stranger Poem". I felt the sisterhood, and of course....having my name written on a piece of chocolate helped too!!;) My older sister was thrilled when I came through Adpi doors since she was an adpi too!

**Since 1851, we started the tradition, everyone else just followed the trend!**

LOVE ALL MY DIAMOND GIRLS!!

ADPi, KD, Chi O :D

I didn't go through formal. But my roommate my first semester freshman year went Gam (Alpha Gamma Delta) and so did one of my suite mates so all I knew were Gams. Somehow I met some ADPis and didn't realise that I was going through COR until my aunt told me that I was (Her sister is and ADPi too). But ADPi felt like home and it still does. :D

I thought that I would bump this one up since we have so many new sisters on the board! Happy holidays to everyone!

Loyally,

first. finest. forever.

bump!

ADPi and Zeta Tau Alpha (in 1997).

If I had gone through rush as a freshman, I would have been a ZTA----I knew it. But because I waited until I was a junior, and went through open, I made the only choice that would have been right for me. ADPi was always the place for me, and even though ZTA was where I was sure I would go as a freshman, time changed my mind, and my heart for the diamonds of ADPi!!!!

So proud to be a diamond girl!!! (I should have know all along, since it's my birthstone.....)

ADPi and ZTA, knowing all along I wanted ADPi. I didn't know any ADPi's and went through as a sophomore. I worried all night about it. Luckily, one of my very best guy friends was very good friends with a lot of the ADPi's so I guess he talked to them and obviously they wouldn't tell him I got a bid, but instead that I shouldn't worry. He told me not to worry, so I didn't!:D Now, here I am!
The "stranger" line in pref made me cry, too, as does the song "The Wood".

I preffed ADPi and APhi. I would have preffed DZ as well, but they didn't informal the week after ADPi extended me a bid. I wouldn't change my decision for the world!

What is the Stranger Poem?

I can't remember all the lines, but it's one that my chapter had done for a few years, and I think they are now having all the District 6 chapters use it for their preference parties (according to the president of the chapter I'm advising).

adpi*nurse, do you remember how it goes?

If people want I can pm it to you... Since I don't think everyone wants me giving up many chapters trade secrets to a good pref night...

Without giving away great pref secret!;) Is it the one that starts out with, "Stranger, that is what you were to me and I to you not so long ago..."? We used it 10 years ago and still today at my chapter. A&M used it this year too. Our pref ceremony with all the songs still gets actives and PNMs all teary! It's great!

So to get back on track with the thread, I didn't pref anyone because I was a spring(informal) girl. But I did get 3 bids!
