We have 2 Phi Mus (1 niece still an active at UGa!), an AGD, and 2 DZs! This last niece to rush this year--Scarlet at VSU--is the daughter of a DZ, but Valdosta doesn't have a chapter.

Y'all don't know how much I want a Pi Phi but I bet it won't happen for at least 7 years!

Are there any IFC members of The Carnation Nation?

carnation 08-31-2005 05:01 PM

All the uncles are Kappa Sigs!

ms_gwyn 08-31-2005 05:52 PM

Gotta love thoses Kappa Sigs....

carnation 08-31-2005 06:01 PM

Oh wow, the uncles are legendary at UGa's Kappa Sig house. My third daughter has transferred there and has the same last name as theirs and all these people have said, "Hey! Are the "Carnations" related to you?"

How wonderful. Is this one of the Chi O's? Has she affiliated with the UGA chapter?

carnation 08-31-2005 09:03 PM

Yes, it's Ballerina! I don't know if she'll affiliate--she'll be a senior in a semester and she has a bunch of heavy courses ahead. She may look into dance team but in the meantime, she's getting to know the Chi Os a few at a time.

Co-sign!:D

carnation 09-03-2005 02:55 PM

Well, we have a kind of weird ending to this thread--Scarlet didn't get her recruitment application in in time!:rolleyes: But all is not lost--she will be a BlazerGirl this year, one of the girls who helps recruit football players. I just hope that the recruits won't hit on her, as they did a friend who was a Georgia Girl at UGa and finally quit for that reason.

Anyway--she'll rush next year! Or maybe she'll pick up a COB, several VSU sororities have those in the winter when seniors graduate.

So.... wait for next year, when at least 3 of the crowd should be rushing!

breathesgelatin 09-16-2005 04:34 PM

Wow... just read this whole thread... congrats to all the girls and all the NPCs involved!

carnation 09-30-2005 05:42 PM

A late and big surprise; my fifth daughter is a member of Zeta Tau Alpha! She's already made some great friends in the pledge class.

And I'm off to buy some things with strawberries or bunnies or crowns! :D

MTSUGURL 09-30-2005 05:59 PM

Can we have an updated list of where your children are that have joined a sorority? It's mind boggling to try to remember off the top of my head?

AUDeltaGam 09-30-2005 07:05 PM

If I remember correctly:

2 AOIIs
2 XOs
1 ZTA

MTSUGURL 09-30-2005 07:11 PM

My prediction is that carnation, all of her daughters as well as futre descendants, will one day be the decision making body for the NPC, owing to their family making up a large percentage of its members...

WOO HOO!!!!!! Congratulations to the latest member of the Carnation Nation!!!!

FYI - I just saw in the JCPenney's Christmas catalog a lovely diamond necklace, very pretty and delicate, and it had a crown as the pendant.

Congrats to your daughter & ZTA. :)

carnation 06-29-2010 09:57 AM

Bumping this at the request of M.D.! I'd forgotten that I'd chronicled the recruitment of half of our town that year.

carnation 06-29-2010 12:44 PM

An update on the 2005 rush crowd:

*Peach, the KD, graduated from UGa and is married and a nurse.
*Plum, the Theta, graduated from UGa and is now in a teacher education program at a local college.
*Sun and Moon, the 2 AOII nieces, transferred to UGa and graduated in biology and are working.
*Scarlet, the cousin at Valdosta, didn't rush and left Valdosta after a year.
*Tiger, the ZTA, graduated from Auburn but I don't know what she's doing. That chapter took several girls from here after she pledged!
*Our Zeta daughter is married and a mom!

ETA: Sun will probably get engaged to Peach's brother any day!

carnation 07-18-2011 07:24 AM

bump--this one was fraught with a lot of drama!

FSUZeta 07-18-2011 08:16 AM

but good reading!

carnation 10-25-2021 12:08 PM

Haha. I saw someone reading this thread so I clicked on it. What memories!

Updates-

Sun, our niece, married Peach's brother

and

our Zeta daughter, after 4 fine sons, is expecting a Zeta legacy this winter!

FSUZeta 10-25-2021 12:31 PM

Yay!

LouisaMay 10-25-2021 01:33 PM

Congratulations, carnation!

honeychile 10-25-2021 04:10 PM

I'm over the moon over your ZTA daughter finally expecting a legacy!

Sister Havana 10-25-2021 08:11 PM

CONGRATS Carnation!
