Wooooo! Congrats :D

AOII Angel 09-24-2012 07:24 PM

Congratulations on another Chi Omega! I guess that evens you out with the AOIIs, doesn't it?!

groovypq 09-24-2012 07:24 PM

Congrats to Tallulah and Chi-O! And hurray for the Carnation Nation, our own Panhellenic version of the United Nations! :-)

chitownxo 09-24-2012 07:31 PM

Congratulations to your daughter, and thanks so much for sharing her story with us!

carnation 09-24-2012 07:31 PM

I'll pass on y'all's congratulations!

Chi O was Scarlet Uli-Ulis and Phi Mu was Fragrant Plumeria Lei. Tallulah LOVED them both and thought that the computer lab was going to shut down waiting for her to rank them after prefs. She had the same decision to make that Sweet Tea had in 2007, with Sweet Tea choosing Phi Mu. The RGs finally assured her that she'll always be friends with the Phi Mus she met and that calmed her down.

Thank you, TigerOwl!:)

Thank you, ladybug12!:)

txAOII_15 09-24-2012 07:33 PM

Congrats to Tallulah and Chi O!

If I'm counting correctly, Tallulah is daughter #7, so does that mean you still have 2 shots at someone going Pi Phi?

carnation 09-24-2012 07:37 PM

Yes! A senior and a junior! And right now, their top choices don't have Pi Phi. :( They don't know it but I DO!

All of the schools they're looking at have at least 2 legacy groups.

txAOII_15 09-24-2012 07:41 PM

You have really amazing panhellenic spirit, I will keep my fingers crossed that one (or both) of your daughters finds an amazing school that fits their needs and has a Pi Phi chapter!

IndianaSigKap 09-24-2012 07:48 PM

University of Louisville... Pi Phi, AOPi, and XO chapters. Sounds like a good place for one of those two young ladies!

AOIIalum 09-24-2012 08:15 PM

Well, you've got the grandbabygirls still, right? ;)

Congrats to Tallulah and XO!

KSUViolet06 09-25-2012 12:02 AM

One is a junior. You still have time! lol.

Katmandu 09-25-2012 10:01 AM

Carnation, Congrats to your daughter!!

Regarding the remaining two daughters......Two Words. Oklahoma State. The Pi Phi Chapter there is top drawer.

carnation 09-25-2012 12:15 PM

Thank you all; I appreciate all the good wishes very much. She's absolutely shimmering with excitement and she's planning to come raid the house for all the Chi O stuff next visit! Well, she can't have the refrigerator magnet, it's really strong & we need it!

Yeah, but dangit! They're newborn, 2, and 3.

I think I'll blame Georgia's HOPE Grant for this. Who can turn down free tuition? And there's only 1 Pi Phi chapter in the state.

Wow! They didn't just ask for moms and sisters and we were rolling in the floor when we gave you that information!

I wish! I would so love to pin a daughter!

shadokat 09-25-2012 02:01 PM

Carnation, I never post anymore, but I always love to come and see if you've got another daughter going through recruitment again!! Congrats to her and Chi O! I remember when BlazerCheer went through...gosh, they probably graduated by now! :)
Anyway, mucho congrats and I'll keep my fingers crossed for that Pi Phi some day :)

carnation 09-25-2012 02:03 PM

Haha, BlazerCheer and Ballerina graduated years ago--they're 28 now!

Thanks!

alum 09-25-2012 02:11 PM

I do love a Chi Omega happy ending!

tinydancer 09-25-2012 03:35 PM

I've enjoyed reading Tallulah's story. Congratulations to her!

honeychile 09-25-2012 03:42 PM

I'm seeing owls everywhere I go lately - I was so convinced that you'd have a new Hootie!

SURELY you can talk #8 & #9 into SOME school with Pi Beta Phi and Alpha Delta Pi there! You NEED that Pi on the Carnation Nation flag!

sigmagirl2000 09-25-2012 05:03 PM

Congrats to #7 in the nation.

(side note: HOLY COW. I can't imagine what one must do for a living to send 13 through college these days......! Mad props to Carnation parents for college and greek life and support and all. Just wow!)

AZTheta 09-25-2012 05:11 PM

Congratulations to Tallulah! Chi O landed another one. Still two more chances for an arrow, a kite, a key... just sayin' ;)

(Check this out for a unique Chi O piece of jewelry.)

Looks like a piece of owl jewelry to me.

exlurker 09-25-2012 06:02 PM

Congratulations and best wishes to Tallulah.

Kappa's mascot is also the owl.

barbino 09-25-2012 08:02 PM

Congratulations on Tallulah and Chi O. I have faith that you'll get your Pi Beta Phi yet. :)

AnchorAlumna 09-25-2012 09:16 PM

Congratulations to Tallulah and YOU! :D

carnation 09-25-2012 09:32 PM

Y'all are so sweet! Thank you!

Still no sign of Hazel. My husband and I have decided that maybe she was planted by Panhellenic like that guy Slugworth in the first Willie Wonka who kept testing the kids' loyalty. ("Let's see if she'll spread the word that we haze!")

Another sorority got their bigs and her friend down the hall is now the little sister of Tallulah's lifetime friend!

#8 is still looking at several schools but the 2 current favorites only have 1 sorority in common. No, I don't know if she'll rush!
