Congratulations to the very Panhellenic Carnation family! It is wonderful that Ballerina has found a new home with her Chi Omega sisters. Best of luck to her in her journey with Chi O.

Carnation, please pass along our thanks to Ballerina and to Blazercheer for allowing you to share their week with us. Here's hoping that Blazercheer finds/has found her new family as well, whether it's cheering or in the dorm or maybe in a sorority one day.

I finally heard from Ballerina and she is so happy to be Greek! She said, "Mom, do you realize how wonderful it is to be walking across campus in your very own letters?" :rolleyes:

Anyway, she loves XO, loved rush, had a super time at prefs, and agonized and cried with her Gamma Chi last night about what order to put the sororities in on her bid card. She adored Phi Mu too and ran up to them after she met her sisters and made sure that she would still get to get together with the ones she had gotten close to. I assured her that being in one sorority doesn't keep you from being close friends with women in other sororities as well as with independents. Since Valdosta doesn't have houses or floors, it's very likely!

BlazerCheer has started cheer practice now, thank the Lord, and was happy when I talked to her a few hours ago. They're all going out to eat together and she has already gotten to be good friends with a couple of the women.

She'll be busy with that and pre-med studies but Mr. Carnation and I still hope and pray for a bid for her at some point during the year. She's a dream Greek--committed, smart, and hard-working!

Congrats to both Bellerina and Blazercheer for all you have both accomplished! Blazercheer: I hope that all goes well for you in your cheering and pre-med careers! Ballerina: Congrats on Chi O! They're lucky to have you hun! I hope my rush goes as well as yours has.
And a special congrats to carnation to staying the cool headed woman that she is! Time to pamper yourself for being such a good mom....off to the spa!

I'm so happy Ballerina went Chi Omega; I was secretly pulling for them the whole time. Some of the most awesome women I know are Chi-O's, and I have no doubt she will carry on the tradition most splendidly!

Glad to hear that BlazerCheer has started cheering. I wish I had the opportunity to watch her strut her stuff; she's pretty much reached the apex of her sport so she must be an incredible athlete. Good luck to her!

Carnation - now you can finally breathe easy for awhile; sounds like two more of your chicks are comfortable in their new nests. I love the response this thread has gotten; all of these sorority women who are stereotyped as "b**chy" and "cold" showing how much they care about the fortunes of two young ladies most of them have never met. AND, Carnation, I think it's also a reflection of the high regard in which you are held by us! :D

Killarney,no way in heaven could anyone say it better.
May I just add a "Ditto" to all you have said!

So many congratulations to you and your daugher, Carnation!

Congratulations to Ballerina!! Think of all the owl stuff you can give! ;)

Hopefully, we can get together when WGa. plays Valdosta! I'll bet blazercheer will be a wonderful cheerleader..sounds like she has the right spirit!

I am happy for Ballerina and hopeful for Blazercheer. Classes haven't even started yet, and she's already learned she has to find her own way -- quite an education in a week's time. They'll both do fine.

Sometimes, ESPN airs college cheerleading competitions. Carnation, you'll have to let us know if her squad will be on one of those shows so we can watch!

Cardinal and straw....she has two of the best colors! :D

I am reminded of how mysterious and wonderful our membership choices are. "We chose and were chosen" goes a verse in an obscure Alpha Gam song.

Congratulations to Ballerina! And may you sleep well tonight, Mama Carnation!

Carnation,

Congratulations!

I may have told you, but the first two sorority women I met in college (Freshman Honors English class) were a Pi Phi and a Chi O. They were both really bright, beautiful, friendly young women!

congrats!!!
 

Congratulations Ballerina, Carnation, and Chi Omega!!! She chose a great organization! Best of luck...

Tara
I have a Phi Mu castle...

I just wanted to congratulate Ballerina on being a Chi-O and say good luck with your cheering to Blazercheer.

Congrats to Ballerina and Chi Omega. What a wonderful organization to be a part of!

Congratulations to Ballerina on being invited to join Chi Omega and I wish every happiness for Blazer Cheer!

Thanks, Carnation for keeping us all informed of this nail biting story!! :D

Although I am a little late posting, congrats to Ballerina, congrats to Carnation, and congrats to Chi-O!! :D Best of luck to BlazerCheer with her cheerleading. :D

Sorry I am so late in posting. I am so excited for you Ballerina and Carnation, Chi Omega is a great organization.

Chi Omega is for a Lifetime!:D

Dear All,

I have an incredible number of pms and emails from you guys expressing your happiness for Ballerina and support for BlazerCheer, and asking lots of questions. I will try to answer them here due to the volume-- and classes being about to start where I teach! Please forgive me for doing it this way!

Ballerina is sublimely happy in Chi Omega. She adored both groups she preffed and has good friends in both. She has a great Owl Pal and has been to a fraternity social already. She has a good schedule too!

BlazerCheer is concentrating on cheering and pre-med classes right now; their first game is next week. She's hoping for another 4.0...in the meantime, she holds no grudges against the Greek system and plans to try again when the time is right.

Thank you all for your unbelievable support! God bless you!

I'm so sorry to have missed this carnation and Ballerina!! CONGRATS to you on your new sisterhood with Chi Omega. One of my best friends is a Chi-O and she loves it!!

Carnation,
It's so generous for you to update all of us on Blazercheer and Ballerina! Everything seems to be going well. I can tell you that although I'm a very new poster here and I don't know you, you and your daughters have often been in my thoughts. I wish all the best for them and you. Thanks again for updating us on their progress.
Fraternally,
violets

I just read this entire thread from beginning to end without cheating and going straight to the end. What suspense! I want to congratulate Ballerina on Chi Omega! I wish both of the daughters the best in their future collegiate endeavors. :D

Blazercheer
 

I hope that your daughter is offered a bid from a sorority that thinks she is wonderful..because she is!
