Okay, keep in mind that I now know people from each of these chapters and they are all very sweet, wonderful girls that any sorority would be lucky to have as members. With that caveat:

Mocha = Zeta Tau Alpha
Cappuccino = Alpha Chi Omega
Espresso = Delta Delta Delta
Cafe Au Lait = Kappa Delta
Macchiato = Kappa Kappa Gamma
Americano = Chi Omega
Ristresso = Alpha Delta Pi
French Press = Pi Beta Phi
Latte = Kappa Alpha Theta

I later met most of Espresso's pledge class and realized I TOTALLY would not have felt comfortable with them. So it really is true that sometimes the girl rushing you knows best!

Hope I've been mildly entertaining!

you were severly entertaining hon!

and actually Alpha Chi Omega was my original thought, then i convinced myself otherwise. and +1 point on guessing TriDelta!

LOVEinZTA 07-25-2007 11:18 AM

well the -1 points for reading comp. and the +1 for the guess has you breaking even, hurray!

Kappa didn't have a recognized organizational philanthropy until a few years ago. There was an emphasis on women's and children's rehabilitation, but each chapter could really do its own thing. Even now I don't think all the chapters/alumnae associations understand our connection with Reading Is Fundamental :)

THANK YOU!

Love, just a random question... did you affiliate with the ZTA at UT-Austin when you transferred?

MaggieXi 07-25-2007 11:46 AM

Great Story LoveinZTA!

Can someone tell another story? Only a few weeks until actual recruitment begins!

Great story - and I didn't know what school or anything.

I think I'd be up for a re-affiliating thread, if you'd be interested in doing so. We only had one woman affiliate while I was in school, and it was 1-2-3. It would be interesting to hear somebody else's.

ClassicBeauty 07-25-2007 12:44 PM

Go U-Aus-ome! I've been a longhorn fan my whole life! :) I've loved reading your story!

tinydancer16 07-25-2007 12:56 PM

I too am a huuuuge UT fan! I can't believe I didn't pick up on that in the thread...duh:cool:! UT and my school are pretty much the only football games I'll watch...ever:D
Congrats on Zeta and Hook 'em horns!!

PS- Good story, I enjoyed it!

I agree, I think a re-affiliating thread would be interesting. I've heard it can be very easy or really difficult depending on the school and chapter.
