Thank you, Lake. Hang in there! I know it's difficult, as I've been there myself. It's truly a roller coaster ride. There were times that I thought it would never happen. (I still won't believe it until after I'm actually initiated!)

My advice to you is to ask for help on the GC board when you need it. I did, and three very wonderful ladies served behind the scenes as my mentors, advisors and cheerleaders. Two of them weren't even from ZTA!

There is definately a sisterhood/brotherhood among all sororities/fraternities on GC.

Congratulations on finding your way HOME! I'm so happy for you..... :D

Girlfriend I am SOOOO excited for you! You just don't know! (I must stop jumping around and singing "She has a date!") :D

Wear the hell outta that crown girl! And go for the BLING baby!

(I love this one)

Congrats again!

Thanks CutiePie. And you know that you were very instrumental in getting things moving for me again. You're a wonderful friend.

OMG JILL!!!!! THAT'S the EXACT badge I am going to order! How did you know?????!!!!! This is just too much of a coincidence!!!!

Thanks for the well wishes. I'm very, very excited!

Dahling, great minds think alike! :D This is the badge I would have picked! It is hella gorgeous! We have great taste!

I knew I liked you for some reason! :D

The bling is beautiful!!!!


I know you can't wait until you can wear it!

I finally ordered my badge, and received a followup phone call from IO, so I think it's time to reveal to you all that I will be initiated the weekend after next.

I still can't believe it! :)

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A big congratulations to you!

Tonight's the Night!
 

This will be my last post in Greek Chat as an independent. :)

Tonight I will be initiated.

It has been more than two decades since I pledged Zeta Tau Alpha. I must have had the longest pledge period in ZTA history!

Tonight, my dream is finally coming true. I'm coming home.

Thank you to the GC Community for all of your support.

Special thanks to TinyDancer, Cutie Pie2000 and Penguin Trax for helping me get things moving again when everything had stalled.

CutiePie2000 has been with me through all of the ups and downs, and has steadfastly stood by with advice and encouragement. She is someone I have become very close to though we're geographically far away. CutiePie is a DG-- which shows that sisterhood bonds transcend throughout the entire Greek Community.

And to FSUZeta. We've only just begun our friendship, and I'm so looking forward to being able to call you "sister." Thank you for taking me under your wing, and for the wonderful surprise box you sent! I'll cherish everything and our new friendship!

congrats blue angel....

i hope tonight was everything you hoped for!!

blueangel, my thoughts have been with you all week as I knew you were going to be initiated this weekend. I am so happy for you and hope your initiation night was a wonderfu, beautiful experience for you.

Congratulations on your new life in ZTA!

:)

Congrats to you, sweetie! I bet we can't wipe the grin off your face :D

Congratulations on your initiation into Zeta Tau Alpha!

May this be the first of many happy memories for you and the ladies of Zeta Tau Alpha!!
