day one sounds terrific....now to day two.
good luck
keep having fun.

I'm getting ready to go to Philanthropy round this morning. (Yay!) I'm definitely going to keep an open mind about everything and see if just talking to different girls changes my opinion about each chapter. We have a break in between rounds and receiving invites, so I'll post how the rounds went then. After we get invites, we go out to eat with our Rho Chi group, but as soon as I get in, I'll let you know who invited me back!

Randi,
Coming from a small chapter myself, I just wanted to say kudos to you for seeing the sisterhood and not just the numbers. That is truly what is most important.

Have a great time today!:)

I'm back from second round! I just wanted to update you all again before I go take a nap. Today was Philanthropy Day, so we got to make all kinds of cute things.

The first party we visited today was Vanilla. You know those paper plates with the animal faces on them? (I can't tell the animal we used because it'll give away the sorority!) We laced pieces of ribbon through holes the sisters had punched into the plates to give to children to teach them to tie their shoes. I really liked Vanilla yesterday, and I liked them even more today. They are a kind of middle-sized chapter, but in talking with the different sisters, I saw that their sisterhood really shines through.

The next party was Blueberry. We put stress reliever balls into boxes and decorated them with ribbons and decorative tape for this chapter. These girls (who have one of the larger chapters on campus) were nice to me, but for some reason, we just didn't click. They seem a little more superficial than what I'm looking for, which isn't to say that they aren't nice people.

The third party was Strawberry. We stuffed gloves with cotton and pushed pipe cleaners into the fingers (which we then stuck down into a small flower pot, like a flower) to be used to teach children sign language. I made my hand say, "I really love you." The girl I was paired with and I had sooooo much in common. Like I said earlier, Strawberry is a small group, but I loved them so much.

The fourth party was Peach. We made "boo-boo bunnies" out of bathcloths and ribbon. They have a little hole in the middle that children can stick ice in to put on their "boo-boos" (hence the name). I was surprised again at how much I liked Peach. They're also a larger group, but they seemed far less superficial than Blueberry.

The last party was Chocolate. We made flower pens for the Girl Scouts with artificial flowers and ink pens. I liked these girls a lot better today than I did yesterday. Conversation flowed better, and I just seemed to click with them a lot more. They, too, are a small group, but I was much more impressed today.

So that's how my day has been so far. We go back at 6:00 Central tonight to pick up invitations for tomorrow, and then we go out to eat with our Rho Chi group. This is how I rate the chapters today:
1.) Strawberry
2.) Vanilla
3.) Chocolate & Peach (tied)
4.) Blueberry

I'll be sure to let you all know which chapters I got invited back to as soon as I get in from dinner!

yay

just concerned.

Ha, hate to tell you this, but most of us older folks on GC know exactly which chapter is which from your philanthropy descriptions. Don't worry, though, we won't tell.;)

Not necessarily Delta Beta, my chapter has done several of those at philanthropy day through the years. :) Just depends if you are talking about local or international philanthropies.

enjoying reading your thread. good luck!!! :)
