... I'm surprised no one noticed the DL (Delta Love) in the note from Executive Office!


CONGRATS! And welcome to Delta Delta Delta!!:D

Haha! I thought I was the only one who caught that, but I didn't want to ruin everyone's fun but announcing there was a major clue in her letter!

Congrats on your impending AI into Delta Delta Delta. From what I hear, AI in DDD is not very common, so I don't doubt what an amazing woman you are! Congrats and DL (Delta Love!)

Lake,
Congratulations on your upcoming initiation into Delta Delta Delta - they're a great group of women and I know that you'll make a spectacular addition to their sisterhood!

And your clues were definitely wonderful - I wish I was just a better guesser :D

Panhellenically,
Jennie

Congrats to you and enjoy your experiences in Delta Delta Delta!

Fraternally,

Lake, I hope your intiation went amazingly! :) Did you do lots of fun stuff with your new sisters to celebrate afterwards?

Jill1228 05-09-2005 03:55 AM

Congrats on your initiation! :)

lake 05-11-2005 02:53 PM

It's official...I'm a Tri Delta!!
 
Hello all, I'm back from my initiation!! Thanks for all your well wishes...it was wonderful, beautiful, amazing, and something I'll remember for the rest of my life! The Tri Delta Ritual is so beautiful!

I was sooooo unbelievably nervous! I was more nervous than I ever expected to be. That kind of surprised me. But the women were so gracious and wonderful and friendly...just like I remember the Tri Deltas I met back in the day. They are simply the most wonderful women and I'm so glad to be their sister. I'm really looking forward to working with them.

My excitement and enthusiasm was dampened somewhat on the way back home. I got FOOD poisoning on the way back home, and it was horrible!! I have not been that sick in years. Remember...I was initiated at a Colorado chapter and drove there from Minnesota. I rented a car (because I love to drive, under normal circumstances) but this time it was almost like a nightmare. I had to keep stopping every couple hours or more to rest or be sick, and it felt like I'd never get home! :(

I'm feeling a little bit stronger today (almost three days later!) and am once again basking in the joy that an almost 15-year journey has turned a corner and I'll be able to contribute as an alum to the most fabulous group of women I've ever known!! Illness or anything else CANNOT take that away from me, ever!! :)

ms_gwyn 05-11-2005 03:00 PM

WOO HOO Lake

Isn't it so cool that you get to be a part of something that was written over a 100 years ago and all the women before have made the same vows?

That is just so mind blowing to me.

I am so happy for you.

DO NOT be a stranger......

once again congratulations on becoming (something that you always were) a Delta Delta Delta

Tom Earp 05-11-2005 03:06 PM

lake, I am sure as you said, being sick did dampen the thrill that you experienced.
But, isnt it a very warm feeling to know that you are now in a much larger Group of Great Ladies.

It is fantastic that you would drive so far for an Special occasion such as this.

There will now be a new world opening up for you with thousands of New Friends and Sisters.


Congratulations To You and The Sisters of Tri Delta! :cool:


Do you still get a silly grin on your face when you look in the mirror?

trojangal 05-11-2005 08:49 PM

Lake,

Congratulations! I am so proud of you and your initiation into Tri-Delta. I saw a friend of mine this week who is a Tri Delta and told her that you were being initiated!

Enjoy the love and friendship of your new sisters and your work with the lovely ladies of Tri Delta!

Lots of hugs from the 'Ham.

blueangel 05-13-2005 05:31 AM

Lake:

Congratulations on your initiation! What a shame you got so sick on your way home.. but just think how lucky you are that you weren't sick during the ceremony!

I'm so happy for you, and best wishes for a wonderful lifetime filled with many happy memories with your new sisters!

"Lori congratulations, the Executive Board has approved you for membership...JS sent a recommendation to me on your behalf.

DL
AI chairman"

I am absolutely stunned....and overwhelmed...and deliriously overjoyed...and speechless...I just can't believe it!! I'm so tired from my trip and keep pinching myself to make sure I'm not really asleep and dreaming this. I've been pursuing this almost five years, and wondered if this day would ever come. I feel as though a missing piece in my life has finally fallen into place.

I feel I owe a huge debt of gratitude to everyone on this forum. Discovering this forum last fall inspired me to pursue AI full-force again.

I need one last piece of advice: I'm planning to send thank yous to the two women who helped me. Should I also send thank yous to the Exec Board?

I feel like I'm rambling, so I'll sign off for now. And ohhhhh...let me know if you guys are interested at all in eventually learning who "XYZ" is...if not that's fine I don't have to tell. :D

I didn't know you were an alumna initatiate! That is AMAZING :) As soon as I saw DL I knew it was TriDelta. I know this is an old thread but I was curious as to how we handle/do alumna initiation and this was nice to find.

Scandia 12-02-2007 08:34 AM

Congratulations, Lake! Isn't it great to finally be an initiated sister?

I would hope so! She was initiated over two and a half years ago! LOL ;)


.....Kelly :)

lake 12-03-2007 02:03 AM

Uh...yeah!! This is a way old thread, but thanks anyway! :)

It was a long road for me, but I kept busy with my life and I was fortunate that several very wonderful women at the national level of Tri Delta continued to keep in touch with me throughout the process and helped me to meet other Tri Deltas.

These women are amazing, and I'm glad they wanted me as a sister, too.
