Ain't it the truth?!

You're talking to someone who won't get ChemLawn because she has beautiful wild violets in her yard, and she picks them & make violet ice cubes with them!

I'm hopeless!

Hopelessly in love with Alpha Delta Pi!!!! :)

ooh, what a cool idea! I never thought of anything like that before...

It's great to be an ADPi... because who else gets WILD about VIOLETS? Or about WILD VIOLETS, for that matter? :)

They're just so pretty!!! I took some photos of some of the violets which were growing through a stone wall I have, and the developer marked a couple that he thought I should enter in a contest!

And trust me, photography is NOT one of my better skills!

Just thought I would bump this up so our new Alphas could read why their new found sisterhood in ADPi is so AMAZING!!!:D :D

Bump...Bump...Bump...
 

:D

BUMP

*you can randomly meet other sisters online, and you feel like they really are your sisters even though you've never met!
then when you do get to meet them, it's even cooler:D

One of the best things about ADPi is that you make friendships that are so strong and true that after you graduate, even if you havent talked to a friend/sister in over a month, you can always pick up the phone and pick up right back where you left off, and she will always let you cry or laugh with her. She will share your joy and your sorrow. I just had a breakdown the other day and I cried for a long time to one of my best friends/sister whom I haven't talked to in a while and it was like our senior year when I would drive over to her apartment (or she to mine) and we'd sit on the porch and talk and laugh or cry or look at cute boys driving by, you know........Those were the days. I miss my chapter. :D

I gave one of my genealogical seminars the other day (thank you, Sisters, for your encouragement!), and the Regent of the chapter unknowingly gave me an African Violet for speaking!


ETA: They served petit fours, but they were very unimaginative ones. I thought of y'all the whole time! :)

Honey, give us more ADPi recipes!

BUMP! Great thread!!!!




Reasons why it's great to be an ADPi....

1) Having an instant connection with someone the moment you meet, just because both of you are adpi's! (or their wife, sister, daughter, sister-in-law, etc. is one!)
2) Being able to go back to your chapter after being gone for a year, and having sisters treat you like you never left. (I love my EE sisters!)
3) The MEMORIES!!
4) Being a part of the 'First & Finest'.... a title that will never change.

So you can attend initiation at a different chapter from your own as an advisor!! (Like I did tonight!! :) )

Congratulations....I get to do that two weeks from tonight! :)

My new reason it's great to be an ADPi:
Working with a collegiate to accomplish a daunting task (like the budget :p) and loving the relationship that develops as you learn how to do it together!

Rereading this thread is a real trip! I have this urge to go make a few dozen Alphie cookies and some diamond petit fours!

Well, maybe tomorrow....


Edited to add:
For those of you who would like to try making petit fours, here's a very good online site: http://www.sweettechnology.com/cakes/petitfours.htm
I use a different recipe (basically pound cake for the base, then the same type of fondant icing), but this is VERY basic and plain. Bon Appetit!
