I've had enough Broken Keys recently, so I'm just going to post a Fleur-de-lis:

My son (a junior in HS) made the All-State Math Team! The details are unclear, but it sounds like he will get to go to Penn State in June for the competition regardless of how he is ranked. However, in one section of the letter, it sounds like only 35 of the 60 team members will get to go. I think they expect a lot of conflicts with graduations, work, family vacations, etc.

Congrats to your son!

Fleur- De-Lis: My wonderful Kappa sisters
Broken Key: our chapter is being closed down.

A few goods and bads:

Broken Key It's the end of the semester and I won't have to go to another CC or chapter meeting until August.
Fleur-de-lis It's the end of the semester and I don't have to go to another CC or chapter meeting until August! :)

Broken Key It's very difficult to see so many women make the tough decision to leave the chapter and watch their best friends who are still active deal with it.
Golden Key By sticking to our guns and firmly upholding Kappa and chapter rules, the chapter will so much stronger in the coming years, and I'm excited to watch them grow into their strengths.

Fleur-de-lis: Zeta Lambda performed an awesome dance/ cheer routine in last night's Greek Talent Show to DJ $crilla's "Kappa Kappa Gamma" rap (amazing song!!)

Broken Key: We somehow didn't win. Everyone, including other Greeks, still can't figure that one out.

Fleur-de-lis: Kappa still took 3rd place in Greek Week here at W&J

Fleur-de-lis: I got to check out my room in the house for next year... SO EXCITED! They also changed our Key Sis thing around a bit so I get to be a pledge mom (err, Key Sis :rolleyes: ) next year as a sophomore instead of as a junior!

Broken key: My pledge twin is transferring to Iowa State's chapter and I'm gonna miss her! And it was the last chapter of the year!!

I'm sorry about losing your pledge twin, but the Iowa State chapter is a wonderful chapter!

I should know, it was my chapter. :D

Fleur-de-lis: My older son made a 35 on his ACT. He scored 36 in mathematics, reading, and science and a 33 in English, which gives him a composite score of 35.

Broken Key: My younger son has a bad case of poison ivy. It doesn't itch and he hadn't been outside in a way to get it, so we thought it might be a food allergy. He is on a steroid, so I'm sure it will clear up soon.

That's fantastic!!

I just have a bunch of fleur-de-lis today!!

fleur-de-lis to Delta Omicron (Iowa State) for highest GPA in spring 2005 with a 3.21 (tieing with Pi Beta Phi)!

fleur-de-lis to Beta Zeta (Iowa) for improving their GPA .05 from the fall semester to have a 3.04 chapter GPA!!!! (I'm so proud of these girls, they've worked so hard!!)

fleur-de-lis to my awesome AB and all the fabulous updates we're going to do to the Beta Zeta chapter house this summer, including painting all the girls' rooms, buying new computers for the computer room and redoing the TV/Music room. I'm so excited for the girls to come back and see the changes. :D

I was just inspired with the GPA ones... haha.

Fleur-de-lis: to Theta chapter for achieving a house GPA for winter semester 2005 of 3.316!! (That's the highest our GPA has been in five semesters!) And congrats to our 16 members who had a 4.0! :D

Oh, Kerri, that is *SO* wonderful. What great news!!! I am so proud of them (vicariously through you). It must feel so good to see them acheive such an outstanding grade improvement!! :)

Fleur De Lis: EEKappa and I are together in Columbus, OH this weekend for ACS (Associate Council Seminar) for the next few days...with all of the other Province Directors, Regional Directors, and Council Members. It's a blue-and-blue Kappa good time! :)

Thanks, Kristin. They really are trying so hard to get the chapter back in the right direction. :)

And I realized that I mistyped -- it should be .05, not .5, but that's still a great accomplishment!

Have fun in Columbus!

broken key - It's taking much longer than I anticipated to paint the girls' bedrooms in the chapter house.

fleur de lis - But I know they're going to absolutely LOVE what we're doing!
