Yay for a Sigma Kappa ending! I've never been a fan of our colors but simply because I can't wear them very well. Otherwise, I think they're gorgeous. Thanks for posting such an upbeat story!

I love a Sigma Kappa ending!! It's funny, I love our colors but I had never been a big fan of purple...after joining, it quickly grew on me. :)

Thank you for sharing your story, Pirouette. SLAM!

Yay!! Great story!! Congrats to you and your sister :)) Im dying to know who Pretty Pretty Princess and Trouble were..they were my FAVE games growing up!!

I received a private message wanting to know who my legacy chapters were. Since I never said anything bad about the legacy chapter on my campus I figured why not?

My legacy organizations are:
Alpha Delta Pi (yep, my baby sister joined one of her legacy chapters)
Delta Gamma
Delta Zeta

Wow, you totally had me fooled with the colors comment - I was thinking somewhere else entirely :).

I was too! Sigma Kappa didn't even enter my mind.

I was, too! I'm so glad this story had a happy ending!

Congrats on your upcoming wedding.

Just think when/if you have a daughter she will have 4 legacy chapters.

So ADPi was your mom and DG and DZ were your grandmothers?

I actually has SK pegged as the one with the "mismatched" colors the minute OP mentioned it - i feel like it's been talked about enough on GC. either SK or GPhiB. then thought... it sounds like more Gamma Phi Betas on here use different variations of brown and mode (im so sorry if im botching it up) .

in any case, loved this story - congrats!

ETA: not really congrats, since it's a retro story, but... still, congrats!

At the outset, I was wondering if the game titles corresponded to the chapter stereotypes: the "princess" chapter, the "sluts" (Twister), the "brainiacs" (Scrabble), etc.

I was just glad that you didn't name a chapter Hungry, Hungry Hippos.

Awesome story, thanks for sharing it!!

I was thinking maybe Chi O, because the cardinal & straw can be pretty bright if you aren't used to seeing them. Or maybe AGD for Christmas colors? I'm sure you can find something with any combo though (I was tired of blue, my university's colors were navy & white so Kappas blue & blue made me think "enough already!"). I wouldn't have thought Gamma Phi, although I suppose to a freshman brown may not be ideal (I didn't start appreciating brown until a couple of years ago).

And congrats on Sigma Kappa! I'm curious- you said your roommate didn't get a bid there, but which group did she go to? Or maybe I missed that.

Not at all! Those stereotypes definitely do not match the girls in those organizations. I assigned the names at random except for Candyland (so that I could have a cute reveal at the end) and Trouble (because it was my mother's nickname as a child).

this was such an entertaining story! thank you for sharing it!
