Congratulations to you both. I welled up when I read the letter from your daughter. You have done an exceptional job in raising her.

"While you may be sad that I am not starting this new chapter of my life as a ZTA, I want you to know that I will forever and always be a legacy and an unofficial member of her community because you have made me one. You raised me with her values and allowed me to see and feel the love of her sisterhood; for that I am eternally grateful. You are my best friend and the woman I will always strive to be."
My cup runneth over!

Thank you for sharing your daughter with us, ZTA Doe. We clearly chose an amazing young woman to join our sisterhood who was raised by a remarkable woman! Congrats to you both!

That young woman was raised right. Congratulations to you both!

I am excited for both of you. Your daughter found her home away from home and I have no doubt that her new AOPi sister's love her because she is one special young lady!
But you my sister have a the honor of sharing your experience as a mom going through recruitment with your daughter. This is wonderful and I know that you will be able to offer encouragement and words of wisdom to all the parents who will read your blog. I can't wait for your post!

Oh, my that brought tears to my eyes! It sounds like you and your husband have raised a wonderful young woman. Congratulations to you and your daughter.

This is only the "Beta" pledge class.

lovely!!

I'm not much of a crier, and it's early in the morning, but I've got tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat.

Beautiful words your daughter wrote, and they came from her heart; what a tribute to you, to ZTA, and to the concept of Panhellenic community. I absolutely adore my AOII friends and your daughter has joined a wonderful sisterhood. Best to you both and I can't wait to see your blog!

Lovely, lovely ending-well done mom and daughter!

You're welcome!:D

Thanks for the pictures. My daughter is holding the O. I went up to school today and visited with her and picked some items out of the Emporium for a wish list. There is one shirt that was there that I have as a ZTA one, so I am getting that for her so we have the same shirt with our letters on it.

I am glad to see such a strong chapter developing in such a short time. Way to go AOII!

The original question that started this thread was divided loyalties. I do not feel that at all. We have practice combining our hand signs-the crown and Alpha love signs. And we are making one continuous car decal overlapping the A's. So it now reads "ZTAOII" People will be driving behind us going "huh?" LOL

Cute! I'm glad you saw that she is happy. I guess that's all you can hope for if you can't have her in your own sorority. Which shirt did you get her from emporium?

scrapinfificat 10-04-2010 10:34 PM

Overlapping the car decals is a hoot! What a great idea. Please take a photo & post.
Glad you went to visit and of course SHOP!

scrapinfificat 10-07-2010 10:09 PM

Thank for letting us know you posted. You did a great job!

AZTheta 10-07-2010 10:21 PM

I just read it and I'm saying thank you all over again. I might even get brave and post a comment. Congratulations!

KKGCaroline 10-08-2010 02:14 PM

Congratulations to your daughter on AOII, her letter to you brought a tear to my eye, you raised one smart cookie:)

I don't know where an appropriate thread to list this in. Can someone help direct me so I can post it in the right place?

I didn't realize your daughter went to App State! My best friend and several others went there. I LOVE Boone!

Have you been to a football game there yet? If not, go - it's a great experience!

(and by the way, your daughter's letter brought a tear to my eye as well.)
