GC gets together with UK and EKU. We have had it at the Red Mile for the last two years but a problem we have is that we all sit with our chapters and don't mingle and meet. I know we could assign seats but anyone have any other suggestions.

Well, http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/tongue.gif on her! (Just kidding, girls.) If its true that the circle and 14 pearls are our symbols, then IMHO we haven't done a very good job of getting the word out.

Oh well. I suppose there's nothing to stop you from using an acorn if you like it (i.e, a local thing) so long as you're not actively harming our Ritual. Far be it from me to ruin anything our Founders wanted for us. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

On one hand, I can understand IHQ's reluctance to start the "acorn" movement. They've just spent thousands of research and marketing $$ to develop the Surrounded by Sisterhood theme.

On the other, acorns are easier to draw and find jewelry, shirts, etc.! Esp. each Fall season..

What's that saying, "A mighty oak grew from a small acorn" or something like that!

Let's surround our sisterhood with acorns (carefully, lol!).

Ok ladies, I just thought that I would tell you that I talked to the International President yesterday about a symbol. I was helping out at UGA's Recruitment and she was also there. She began discussing with some of the alumnae about how she got an email about some girls on greekchat talking about AGD needing a symbol. I spoke up and said that I was one of the girls. To make a long story short, she does not see the point in creating a symbol. She said that we already have symbols such as the circle and the 14 pearls and that they already serve the purpose of a symbol. So, I just thought I would let y'all know. I tried to explain our reasoning but I guess I didn't do a very good job. Sorry ladies!
