Hi there!! Welcome to GreekChat!

I was just back -- for the first time in YEARS!!!! -- at the Beta Alpha chapter house last week (on Thursday as a matter of fact) -- went up and checked out my old room which we used to call San Francisco because it had the fire escape...I saw my Presents picture in the chapter room -- it is of my entire pledge class and the actives...gosh I was young! Was wierd not to have a frat house next door and to see what frats (like the Fijis and Phi Delts and Betas) & sororities (AGD and ChiO) were gone....sigh!

First Time...
 

Excited to see so many different Gamma Phi's out there! I graduated from the University of Oregon in 2002...well I guess technically 2003...I was initiated Winter Term 2000 as a sophomore....

I am back in school again...I was accepted to Portland State's Graduate Teacher Education Program..where I hope to become an elementary school teacher....

I look forward to hearing back from anyone out there..this is all new to me..but I welcome the potential to talk to sisters out there



ANYONE KNOW HOW TO ADD THE COOL COLORS WITH THE GREEK LETTERS?????

Welcome!

You have an awesome alumnae chapter in Portland (I know a number of the members) that you should hook up with some time.

BUT......put [ ] instead of { }

Where do they meet? Although I would be intrigued to see who all goes there...I have to admit its a little scary to just go to one...even though we are all G-phi's...

I sent u a pm with the woman's name to contact. I'm actually in Seattle so I don't know where they meet.

Welcome TinaTex05! Do you have sorority houses at Loyola University? I go to New Orleans at least twice a year and I would love to come see the house, if you have one.

What school are you a gamma phi at?
We dont have houses at loyola but we always have lots of girls come visit and we put them up in our own homes. mardi gras is a popular time, but honestly every day is a party in new orleans. We would love to have you and some of your sisters visit us. We would definately find places for you to stay!

I was a Gamma Phi at the University of Alabama (initiated in 95). I am the VP of my alum chapter now. My sister, mom, a few friends and me always come down for St. Patrick's Day. I know many girls in the house go to New Orleans a lot. I will let them know about your offer. Thanks!!

Crescent Catcher in training - many thanks to our LtColonelGPhiB for the instruction and guidance

Pledged Fall 1980, Initiated January 1981

Favorite GPB memories: learning to love the Crescent Moon, pink carnation and sing "Hey Daddy" from my sister, an Alpha Theta (Vanderbilt) Sister;
Hearing the singing as we approached the House during Rush - I knew all of the songs because of my sister and I immediately felt at home;
The look on the face of one of my rushees (I was a Rush Counselor 2 years) when she came to the house on Pledge night and saw me - she never had a clue!
The "Aaahhhh" factor of initiation - "I wondered about that....":D
Oh! How could I forget Derby Days?! I single-handedly caught more derbies than 5 other houses combined - but then, they went to more classes than I did those days, too ;)

Little known fact: When my husband and I got married, the Gospel we chose was the "Founded upon a Rock" one. In the nerly 7 years since, we have had rain and 2 1/2 feet of water in our basement; we have had an earthquake 3 days ago - yes, in Wisconsin!; we have had a tree fall down on the house during a storm leaving no damage (!); we have fought like only an Irish woman and an Italian man can: :0 and our "house" is still here and strong, because it was "Founded upon a Rock."

Aside to Tina and other Epsilon sisters - please contact me - I get back to NU with the Alumni Admission Council a couple times a year, but haven't been inside 640 Emerson since probably 1986.... Sigh....

Northwestern GFB

And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. Matthew 7:25
