New To Dragma
 

Did you get your new To Dragma yet?

What's your favorite part?

As always...NO! Good grief!:p
Roses,
Silver

I have not gotten my yet :(

Not yet, hopefully today

Got it today! Silver, you're mentioned your alum chapter's writeup. Maybe that's why you always get your LI last, because you keep getting your name in there ;) There's also a familiar face in there as well for LI attendees, check out pages 7 and 45. Hi B!!!

My favorite part is the Sisterhood Encounters article. I got all teary eyed reading one of them and realized just how much I miss my sisters from my hometown. Just when I was all good and mushy, I got to the one with the "Let's become little old ladies together..." and got a case of the giggles that still hasn't stopped :D

Then again, it should be no surprise to anyone who saw me at LI that I'm still eying the sunburst rose pendant. It's simply stunning (and the watch isn't bad, either!)

:D HAHA...but au' contraire, AOIIAlum, Beryana is in just about EVERY issue, and she gets hers FIRST! I am so serious ;), I think it is a plot...and evil diabolical plot to keep me from buying Emporium objects!

Stunning, but, GeeWhiz! Isn't it over $800, and it is not a "donation" item! It simply costs that much? I wonder how many they have sold already?

I finally just went to IHQ and got a copy!
<Silver sticks her tongue out at Beryana, makes a smarty-pants face, and yells NaNaNaNa...LOL>
AND, to beat the diabolical plot, I bought something at Emporium, too!

To Dragma is really nice this time....LOTS of GC names in the Foundation giving pages! WooHoo for generous GCers!

Speaking of which....I think that we should crown a GC QUEEN OF TO DRAGMA for each issue.

For this issues's GC QUEEN OF TO DRAGMA, I nominate AOIIGal!

Roses and warm pumpkin pie,
Silver

Sarah, you're so right, I did miss page 9! I see lots of gorgeous Canadian AOIIs!

I don't know how many they've sold, and it's dreadfully expensive, and in all honesty just a pipe dream. Still, it's my "I want it NOW" (tm Veruca Salt) item.

I second the nomination. All those in favor?

Roses!


So, Silver, what'd ya buy? :D

I just can't figure WHY they are so expensive...They are not much larger than an LI necklace, and there are not THAT many rubies and diamonds....and it is not a "fundraiser/donation item."
Just perplexing...stunning..but perplexing...

Okay, so here is the deal... AOIIAlum, when I get my KITTY, we will drive it over to the Emporium and BUY YOU one of those little baubles! Deal? Pinky promise?
:D
Roses and warm pumpkin pie and Cool Whip (and JUST FOR AOIIAlum, SWEET TEA),
Silver

Silver grins sheepishly because Mr. Silver does not yet know....
One of these in yellow gold was on 1/2 price in the back discount cubby. For $70, I snatched it up!

Yeah, we all know that 'dancing alumnae' meant Sarah. It certainly didn't mean either Silver or myself, or anyone else ;)

Lucky duck! Watch your mailbox then, and call me one evening when you're home before you hit TN again.

Roses!

Thank you for the pumpkin pie with cool whip and SWEET TEA! Sigh.

Okay - as I didn't get to go to Emporium as much as I wanted - can someone post a link to this 'piece' from Emporium's website? Thank you!!!

Still don't have mine.... :( but it's nice our all-Canada pic made it in by the sounds it!

May the Canada Post gods bring it today!

I couldn't find it on the website :( Well, whenever you get your issue, it's in the middle of the top row.

Oh where oh where can my To Dragma be...oh where oh where can she be?

:(

I just got my To Dragma, and I just want to send many thanks to AOIIsilver for my name being mentioned in the Nashville Area Alumnae news. I've already told her that I am hoping to impress my husband with it. :)

And by the way, you guys are YOUNG. The last time I was in To Dragma was many eons ago (about 20 years) :eek: when my collegiate chapter helped out at an alumnae celebrity golf tournament. Several of us got our picture taken with Spanky from the Little Rascals, and the picture made To Dragma. Now I know what you are thinking and the answer is, NO, he was not a child at the time. I am not quite that old yet. What was so funny was that even as an older man, he still looked exactly like the little kid from the TV series.

It really looks like Leadership Institute was fun, and it is great to see all of those smiling gorgeous faces of people having a wonderful time.

And you all are right about that sunburst pendant. If they lowered the price on that baby by about $700, I would definitely be signing up for it. ;)

Aww, you're not old! I just celebrated the 21st anniversary of my pledging date in September, and will be celebrating the 21st anniversary of my initiation in January. Four more years to that 25 year pin, and you'd better believe I'm counting down! Whoo hooo!



Roses,
Christin

I must have the slowest mail in the world...mine is STILL not here!

We have a rural route carrier, and they have gotten really terrible over the last few months, there are days that we don't get mail until 7 at night.

:rolleyes:

Oh yeah, I have to keep telling myself that 40 is the new 30. I'll be celebrating the 22nd anniversary of my initiation this coming April. What's really cool is to realize you've been an AOII for more years of your life than you haven't been. Yeah, I'm with you! Bring on that 25 year pin! :D

I got mine finally! :)

I got mine. I too love the sunburst pendant, but would need it in yellow gold ($$$$). The sisterhood article was my favorite part - I love reading those stories. The only thing I wish is that TO Dragma would have a section like hubby's Fraternity magazine where Alums send updates and it is listed by chapter and person. That way you can really follow what your old friends have been up to.

BTW, I feel sad - I have never been in the To Dragma. Would love for that to change one day though :D

I've been in there in the foundation section and then my picture once. I was also listed back in the day when I was a collegiate and they list each chapter and who does what in each chapter. I still want my picture on the cover! :) Anyway, I love the new watch! Very pretty!

I got my new one today...I'm gonna go sit outside in the sunshine and enjoy every page right now! Lots of pretty blingies on the back cover, too.

Watch your mailboxes!

Yeah! I got mine today, too! There is a CUTE (If I do say so myself!) picture of SilverMom in the Alumnae Chapter section!!!
Woo Hoo!
Silver

I haven't gotten mine either but I've decided all mail to Oxford, MS is SLOW!

The newest issue was in my mailbox today!

Well that means I'll get mine like next week. Although, I wonder if they'll send me more than one this time? Last time I got two plus a big envelope with 5 in it for the chapter.

I got mine! It is a fabulous issue.

I got mine, too. In the "Day in the Life" story about living in a sorority house, the house pictured is the Iota chapter house. :) Did anyone else notice in the collegiate news section that Alpha Phi chapter (Montana State) is listed as Florida State, and that Zeta Psi (East Carolina) is listed?

I didn't notice that. Perhaps the kept Zeta Psi in because they had turned in those AlphaLinks LAST YEAR. The blurb about Nu Beta, they turned that in last spring the ATO stuff at Ole Miss happened in 2004!

Anyone know when the next To Dragma drops? Does anyone know if this next one is going to be a bigger one because of the Life Loyals? Just wondering!

I think there's a link on the website with some info, can't remember where though.

I know, I'm just no help today! :p

Color me jealous :D

I recieved mine as well. I must say that the changes are wonderful. I especially liked the page on reunions and the member spotlight.

Oh I best have mine in my PO Box tomorrow.....or heads will roll....for some reason they always seem to drop late in Mississippi...go figure...so pray mine is in there because I was thinking about it the other day!

I just checked my mail at lunch...no To Dragma....sad, sad, day in Oxford, MS.... :(

Got mine today and haven't even been able to open it because of Cub Scout Popcorn!!!! Oh well, motivation to get finished and curl up with a warm bubble bath tonight, right?

ya'll are making me jealous....they should send Life Loyal Members their To Dragma's first....

I haven't got mine yet, that's not fair! Of course, it could be at my "real home" in Lafayette. Maybe we could start a thing where we pay five dollars to have To Dragma fed exed to us the day it comes out? What do y'all think?

I would totally pay more to have it fed exed to my office! I'm praying to Stella tonight that it comes tomorrow! I'm just really having some withdrawals about not having my To Dragma!


Thursday...still no To Dragma....I'm starting to wonder....I haven't moved or anything either....weird....my sister in FL and my mom on the Gulf Coast haven't gotten their copies either....

I got my To Dragma! I checked my mail at lunch! WOHOO! It's so pretty! The pictures are so clear! I love it!
