I'm almost positive one of the groups at North Texas had "Go" and "Went" shirts this year or last. I know I've seen them- Chi O or Pi Phi, maybe.

I also love the picture of the two of you, and her key. Question to all Kappas - have you ever noticed that pretty much all Key jewelry has a backwards Key?

What do you mean "backwards"? Like it's facing the wrong way if you turn it horizontal?

Yep, exactly. Honeychile, I see backwards keys all over the place and it drives me nuts. But I know some Kappas who either never notice or don't mind.

I thought they were going to let Theta recolonize with a new group of women -- what happened to that idea?

Their HQ voted to close the chapter for at least 12 months. That was last March/April - 12 months aren't up yet.

The TCU and Univ of Texas Kappas were doing those shirts back in the early 90s when I was an active. There has been a lot of imitation and flattery as far as those go!

Right so did we, but I didn't know there was an exemption for biological sisters.

I don't know if it's done on a Panhel-by-Panhel basis, but that's what they decided for us and the other sisters with (bio) sisters going through recruitment. It could be different elsewhere.

Side note - I would think a person's legacy status could effect their cuts/bids. I know if some sisters where on the edge about a girl and she had legacy status at another house, then they would be more likely to cut. The reason being is they thought that the PNM would go through/bid at her legacy house and by cutting it gave other girls a chance to bid at their house. It boils down to why waste a bid. Not its not nice, but I have seen it done. Either way, a greater plan is at work!

That definitely makes sense. We'll probably never know if it affected her cuts, but she was happy with her schedule, so no worries!

I'm pretty sure the design was suggested to us by our headquarters/advisers/LC as a bid day shirt design Kappa wants to push nationally. I've seen it elsewhere and I love it, so I was excited when our New Member chair decided to use it!

To be honest, I don't know a lot about it so I won't say anything.

Congratulations!! How exciting for both of you.

I suprised to read that they were allowed to wear the GO KAPPA shirts before recruitment started. That was BIG no-no for all the sororities on campus. They said something about it pushing girls to go one way or another (I personally do not think a shirt is going to push a PNM one way or another but that's just me!). Either way I'm pushing hard for those to be our bid day shirts!

All the sororities really encourage their sisters to wear as much lettered gear as possible! I'm in agreement with you - I don't think it pushes PNMs one way or the other. It may even be a good thing in that it gets them pumped for recruitment to see such a big show of Greek spirit on campus! Anyway, I'm glad you like them!

On Saturday 55 wonderful young women, including my sister, were initiated into the JHU chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma. They're a fantastic group - our biggest new member class in chapter history! - and I'm so proud to call them my sisters. It was my last Initiation as an active and the fact that it was my sister's Initiation made it ten times more special. We're finally double sisters!

Here is a picture of the new Initiates and many of the chapter sisters at an event during the week leading up to Initiation:

Congratulations to you and your sister!

How lovely! You should be very proud!

Congratulations! What a doubly special initiation for both of you. :D

Wow, that is a HUGE class! Congrats to you, your double sister, the chapter... awesome!! Not a bad way to wrap up your undergrad experience.
