Words of Wisdom
 

Watch and listen VERY CAREFULLY - it will go by fast, but it is one of the most beautiful experiences next to getting married! And above all else - ENJOY the ceremony - you will love it! Know that thousands and thousands and thousands AND THOUSANDS of women just like yourself for many generations will have experienced what you will go through and when you see your first Alpha Phi after intitation, you will be taken back to that place and time and know she had the same experience...Boy am I grinning from ear to ear!!!!! Let us know what you are feeling afterwards....AND WELCOME!!!!!

Congratulations to txtiger!! :D

Maharet ROCKS
 

Can I just say that I absolutely love having Maharet for a sister? That almost brought tears to my eyes!

Congratulations txtiger and welcome to Alpha Phi!!! Enjoy the ceremony and your initiation day with your new sisters! Maharet's post brought back so many great initiation memories! :)

Re: Words of Wisdom
 

This is SO true! One of my favorite things about being a chapter adviser was being able to attend the initiations and not only see the new women go through the experience, but also to revisit the cerermony and "have it all come back"!

So txtiger, now that you are a sister where are you?

AOE!

first of all, the ceremony was wonderful! and truly beautiful! i was nervous beforehand, but once it all started taking place, it was all so perfect. i really felt like i was witnessing something ageless and amazing! and all of the girls from the collegiate chapter looked so beautiful!

after initiation my new sisters showered me with all kinds of alpha phi gifts, i totally wasn't expecting any of that, and i kind of started to cry! then my sponsor had arranged an initiation banquet! a bunch of the girls from our ivy connection came and it was so fun! truly one of the best nights ever! :)

so, now that everyone (well, not everyone) is wondering, i'm in austin, and now a member of the austin ivy connection! :)

Welcome, TXTiger! Now run along and introduce yourself properly in the Alpha Phi Roll Call!

Love and AOE,

Congratulations! :)

I am grateful that our fraternity welcomes so many amazing alumnae intiates with open arms! We are all so fortunate to be members of such an innovative, forwarding-thinking organization!

Congratulations and welcome,Carey!
