Less then a Week!! :)
 

Well Initiation is less then a week away!!

The past 8 weeks have gone by so fast! Its funny to think that on bid day i barely knew anyone and now after socials sisterhoods, shopping trips halloween and meetings i can look around the room and know every face. It was really hard getting 26 girls to bond but this past week practicing our songs and dance really brought us together.

This week is our I week. I'm looking forward to it however its homecoming week for the high school i coach cheerleaders at too. So i dont think i'm going to get any sleep. But it should be fun.

Looking forward to initiating!:D

Have a great week and a beautiful Initiation!

Congratulations! I am so very happy for you!!! :)

(I received an invitation to attend Delta Pi's Initiation and oh, how I wish I could be there!)

Oh I forgot!!! Congratulations!!!!

Gamma Tau is initating 22 wonderful women Thursday! One is a legacy (her gmom's a GBeta!!)

:D

Initiation Week was one of the best times of my life as an Alpha Gam, and I love seeing the faces of the NMs as they approach I-Day, and I wish I could be in SF to see yours!

Congratulations and here's an early welcome to our circle of sisterhood!

I bet you're very excited!!! Try not to lose any sleep, and CONGRATS!!! :)

Congrats!!!!! and Enjoy it all.

-on a side note I went to EB's initiation ceremonies on
Sunday, they initiated 50+

I know exactly how you feel, I'm counting down the days until I initiate. I couldn't imagine having such a big new member class, there's only 6 in our class, but thats just because we are just a small chapter in Winnpeg. But good luck and congrats for inition.

For you girl belong to Alpha Gam,
and Alpha Gam belongs to you.

Just thought I'd give a little update:

Well the past 2 nights have been fun. Last night was cute because we sang to the boys, so it was fun seeing if there are any cute ones, haha.
Today is hump day, no ceremonies or activities planned but we took it upon ourselves to have a rehearsal for our dance. We have had several rehearsals and I really like when its just our pledge class. It has really brought us together.

Only thursday and friday to go!!! :D

soooo exciting!!!!! congratulations!!!! :D

YAY! I Initiated on saturday!!! I love all my new sisters and cant wait to see what lies ahead as a proud member of Alpha Gamma Delta!

Congrats!

What's the dance for? Are you part of a dance team?

I could be totally wrong, but she might have been talking about the performance the NMs do for the collegians after Fireside's done.

When I was a pledge my pledge class did a funny song and dance routine to that song from "A League of Their Own".

I'm sure not every chapter's the same way, but I know of many who do something similar.

Yes, it was for fireside. I put together a song and dance to Sweet Home Alabama, AKA Sweet Home Alpha Gamma. It was soooo cute. Anyone want lyrics feel free to email or PM me. :D

Hey rayray! I just noticed your signature...and Special Family is one of my favorite AGD songs. If only my chapter sisters weren't so tone deaf. It's a real emotion getter and it gives me goosebumps everytime!

YUP! I just did my signature today, it took me a while but i figured it out. Special Family really hit hard after we all sang it together at feast of roses. I looked around at all the girls singing and it was an emotional joyous moment for me. I sing it all the time, i absolutley love that song.

oohhh my chapter didn't do anything fun like that! i think they should.

I thought new members were supposed to be doing activities with the members that helped to integrate them into the chapter and not be doing things like new member class dances or making up their class songs.

doing things like that helps the pledge class bond and get to know each other. most chapters do activities that are just for the pledge class as well as activities that pull the entire chapter together. i'm glad that my chapter did seperate pledge class activities as well as full chapter activities. i got to know the girls in my pledge class incredibly well and i also got to know the older girls real well. just b/c a chapter may have an activity that is just for a certain pledge class doesn't mean they are not integrating the members into the chapter.

My chapter had tons of activities that included the new member class, and when I went through Frat Ed I didn't feel (and I'm sure my class didn't feel) alienated in any way.

I-Week still remains a special time for our new members. Every year I always look forward to the NM song and dance because I see how the girls have bonded during their NM period. It's the culmination of events before Initation Day, and the NMs continue to impress me more and more every year.

Please don't even start to make like these song and dance performances are a bad thing. :rolleyes: :mad:

Coming from someone who had to do a Fireside song I really enjoyed it. I felt that it was the best way for my class of 25 to really bond. We had no active sisters around which was good becuase it really made us do all the work. I will forever have the best memories of my New Member class because of all the little things that happend and the inside jokes from and during rehearsals. I didnt feel it was a bad thing at all, plus the sisters loved it!
