Ohhh I missed that! Thanks.


LilLady, this is such a cliffhanger. I really hope everything is going well! :)

Oh, I want to know. Being part of a colony is SUCH an unique experience. You get to jump head first right from the beginning. I'm crossing my fingers for good news!

I'm confused...was there a pref invite from a chapter on campus AND a pref invite for the colony?

No, there is a chapter colonizing at that school this fall and they participated in all rounds of formal recruitment. It sounds like her pref invite was from the colonizing sorority.

aaah! I really want to know what happened!!!

ME TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I sincerely hope that it is good news for you, LL! :)

I'm sooooo sorry to keep you waiting but I rushed home (and am skipping my parent's bday party for me) to tell you that....


I am


a proud


new member


of








CHI OMEGA!!!



At DePaul University!!!


I just want to tell everyone thank you sooo sooo much for all the support, the messages, the lovely things you've said. I was really sad Thursday night but after meeting my new sisters tonight, I feel that this is the best thing I could have done. I'm wearing my letters right now!!!!

Congrats!!
 

Congrats! I've loved reading your posts. My daughter pledged Chi O a week ago...there were lots of tears...not because she was sad really, but because of the stress of rush! She called tonight and could not be happier!! Needless to say, I've relaxed too. Enjoy your new sisterhood, and I wish you all the best!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!
I was never a colonizing member, but know several people who have been and they were all very pleased with their experiences! You will make a fabuluous new member and sister of Chi-O.

Congrats! :D

Wow another CW! Chi O is all over GC this fall it seems. Then again, they are the largest NPC sorority. Congratulations and enjoy pledging and all of the opportunities you will have as a founding sister!

I updated ya in the who is rushing thread
Congrats to you and Chi Omega

Congratulations on CHI OMEGA!!!

I am also a founding sister of my chapter and it was an AMAZING experience! Enjoy every minute of it! :D

Congratulations! Enjoy your experience being a founding member of Chi Omega on your campus!

I have a friend who just started working at DePaul and he loves it. Just thought I'd share.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I am so glad that you made the choice... I was afraid that I had told you too much and scared you off from joining a colony. It is the coolest thing ever!!! but also very stressful!!!
Enjoy it all!!!

Got your PM before I read this... kind of gave it away!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

I am so happy for you and Chi O! (I just spent all weekend with my Chi O cousin too! LOL!!)

Keep us updated, I would love to hear what it is like to be in a colony and becoming established.

Now...off to your birthday party!

Welcome to the sisterhood!!
I hope you NM period is amazing!

XO <3 and mine!

Congratulations to you and Chi Omega! My cousin is a Chi O at U of I and looooves it. :)

(I was just in the DePaul area today! Ever been to My Pie?)

HI!!!

Oh, I finally got back to my computer!!

I'm so excited, I'm bouncing off my walls. As I was saying earlier, I really am happy about joing ChiO as a new member especially since we're a colony and we're all getting to know each other. I really like the fact that we're all so new to this and we've already made facebook groups and we're getting to know each other very quickly.

But on another note,

I want to thank everyone on GC for everything. I don't think I would have even considered rushing had I not read the many threads nor gotten so many kind words from everyone. I also wish my RhoMU read this so she could know how much I really appreciate her. I hope to talk to her even if she isn't in my chapter. So to everyone, thank you. I will try my best to continue posting how our year goes since we won't be initiated till January and that's when things get even better. I'm off to go order a ChiO hoodie and start reading this HUGE book they gave us.

Adios everyone! and Thank you so much! Love you all!!

YEAH!


Welcome, Sister!

That comment got me worried - to a PNM, it may seems to come as a relief, but it's actually no service at al. I inadvertantly got a girl cut by doing this to her during my first rush. At the time, we required a certain number of sisters to have met someone before we were allowed to vote on them. I enjoyed this girl's company so much that no one else got to talk to her, and when it came time to vote, there weren't enough sisters who had met her. I'm SURE she thought I had cut her - especially since she had only talked to one person.

Oddly enough, we because friends, and ended up in another membership organization together after college, and she used to tell people "This is LionTamer, who cut me from her sorority in college". On the upside - just like LilLady, she ended up a ChiO and was happy as pie.

Alright!! I'm so happy for you. Congrats on Chi Omega!

I see the reason for your post, but wouldn't this fall under confidential membership selection information?

LT went to school 20+ years ago. This may or may not have changed since then.

Congrats, LilLady! Welcome to the Sisterhood!

My chapter is Pi Zeta at Western Michigan University (I'm an alum now) - just across the lake from you all! Oh, how fun if they do your initiation...though I suppose one of the other IL chapters would make more sense! Like Northwestern since it's so close!!! :p

Enjoy your new member period!!!

It's really none of my business anyway, seeing as I am not an ASA. It just makes me cringe to read anything like that, even though she was just trying to be helpful.

It made me cringe too.....

I don't see anything cringe-worthy about what she wrote.:confused: :confused:

A New Owl!
 

Welcome to the sisterhood of Chi Omega. Congratulations on becoming a member of our newest colony! What an exciting time!

TigerOwl

congratulations!!!

I believe it will be either Northwestern or Carthage who will do our initiation but...rumor has it that someone from Nationals might come up as well?/ I don't know yet but I'll post as soon as I do. :)

It's so cool being a founding member. Your new member class will probably get the "royal treatment" from HQ, not to mention that few sorority women get to experience a chapter installation. Congratulations to you and your new chapter of Chi Omega!

From a blue-and-blue owl to a red-and-yellow one, congrats!

Congrats!!! Welcome to Chi-O!!!

Congatulations on becoming a Chi Omega! I can only imagine what an incredible experience you will have as a colony member! :)
