Same with me. My cousin's daddy and my daddy are brothers. I pledged Kappa when my cousin was a senior in the chapter. We are both the youngest in our families, so I was as close to a legacy as she had!

When is the next round carnation? And then after the next round is it preference-- and then we will finally find out?? Ahhh the suspense!!

Also, what happened with the cousin? Did she get invites to the same houses??



One last hijack to add to the cousin comment-- it is true for me too that my cousin was as close to a legacy as I was going to get because my sister pledged another sorority at her school and my other 2 sisters were never Greek. I have 4 girl cousins and only one went greek-- and 3 sisters and only one went greek! But I am so happy I have ADPi to share with my cousin!

The next round of parties will be today and they get their invites tonight. Prefs are tomorrow and Bid Day is late tomorrow!

I know that Baby Berry Cousin is supposed to go to Emerald but I don't know about the other 2. She's in a weird situation because she had a school camp all week so she's being allowed to start recruitment late. She had tons of great high school activities and is really social so she ought to do well!

Keeping my fingers crossed for both young ladies!! I'm another emerald, too. The birthstone, that is... I don't know if I'm a sorority "emerald" yet or not. ;)

Thanks for keeping us posted! :)

Best of luck to both of them!

i wish your daughter the best of luck.:)


oops best of luck to her cousin too!!!:D

Saying a little prayer that they will both find their homes :)

Both girls are returning to SAPPHIRE and EMERALD for prefs. They love both groups!

I am routing for Sapphire,because it's my birthstone,:D ...I wish her and her cousin lots of luck and hope they have fun with pref..It's really cool to see if they choose the same house.

So exciting! :D

I hope they both get whichever house where they will really shine, but there's a part of me who thinks it would be nice if they end up with the same sorority home!

And of course, since the sapphire is my birth stone, I kinda hope they prefer it! ;)

Go Sapphire....not that I know what house that is, but it IS my birthstone. hehehe.

Anyway, good luck!!! i know they'll both find their home!!!

Good Luck to both girls! :)

Good luck to your daughter and her cousin.

I have to put in a good word for Emerald since it's my favorite color and birthstone

I am sure they will be happy where ever they go.

methinks you will be buying flowers today.
may everyone end of happy...
fingers and toes crossed.

I just hope where ever they go- they are both happy!

(Although, we all know that I want them to be sister-cousins!)

good luck to both girls!

what time are prefs and bids?

Crossing my fingers!!

it would be sooo cool if both girls ended up in the same house! i hope they both find exactly what they are looking for. what time does bid day start? don't they have classes tomorrow?

Have you heard anything yet?????????? I am so antsy about this one!!!

Bid Day is sometime tonight, so it may be a while unitl we hear anything. Here's hoping for two new shining jewels in the Carnation Nation :)

Can't wait to find out!! :)

i am so happy to find out the news!!

I just got back from the girls' school, where they both pledged the same sorority! And I bought them both a shirt with an Ailuropoda melanoleuca on it!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh I am so excited! I know that is not ADPi-- what chapter is it?

Tee-hee. Lucky me that I remember stuff from my bio class.

Congrats to them and to Alpha Omicron Pi!

Congrats to Baby Berry and Cousin on AOPi!!!!

Oh how fun! Congrats to another set of sister-cousins from a sister-cousin!!!!!!!!

So what was the other chapter she preffed?

Congrats to the cousins and now, 'sisters'!

Congrats to Baby Berry, cousin and ALPHA OMICRON PI!!!!!

I know the other chapter she preffed, but I will leave it to Carnation to say :)

Congrats to the two new AOIIs!!! :) I'm sure big sister is proud of her new legacy!

Congrats to your girls Carnation and AOPi!

They both went AOII (Emerald), and so did another friend they met from here!

They went into this building to get their bids and first the Rho Chis did their act. Then the girls got their bids and shirts and there was all this screaming. Then, like at Valdosta, all the new members came pouring out of the building, screaming and running! Baby Berry and her cousin came running out arm-in-arm and LOL!! BBC ran into the door! And then they were given pandas, bags, and roses and met their Rosebuddies. And I met aopinthesky from Greekchat!

So another Carnation Nation rush ends happily and we're all content. All the groups on that campus are great (there are 8 sororities:5 NPC and 3 NPHC) and I'd like to thank you guys for being supportive and especially those who wrote recs. God bless you all!

And for those who thought I ought to lay off the rushes for awhile--sorry, we have 2 more in the next 2 years!

THANK YOU GREEKCHATTERS!!!!!! :)

When I got home this afternoon I caught up on the thread...came back three hours later to find the news!

Congratulations all around!


AGDAlum,
their Yankee aunt

And hopefully, atleast one of those will be at Auburn!

Now that there's a happy ending, can we know what college these lucky new members attend?

yay!! i am so excited for you guys!!

Yeah! I am so happy that more of the Carnation Nation has gone AOII!
Woo hoo!
Congrats!
