meeting sorors unexpectedly
 

i dont start threads often. so let me excersize this right...

as i mention many a times, my campus is not greek-heavy. when i became a member, i was of course excited to meet sorors, but get a little sad being that im the only Sigma Gamma Rho on my campus.

or so i thought.

so far ive met a graduate student from binghampton and by the graces of facebook, tracked her down. last week, i met a soror who, all i can remember, was from Arizona (spr 96), i think in a graduate program here. lastly, i get an email from someone who JUST graduated from a masters program here and moved away for her doctorate, and got in touch with me through a listserv.

so for all i know, there could be many a soror here at nyu and i wouldnt know it. now i cant go asking around every graduate student if they know any SGRhos. is it appropriate to ask for an email/phone number of every soror i meet in the street?

Re: meeting sorors unexpectedly
 

You hadn't been doing that before? Whenever I meet a soror, I trade information.

Re: Re: meeting sorors unexpectedly
 

I did when I was a neo. I still do it.

There is nothing wrong with that! It's called networking!

Re: Re: meeting sorors unexpectedly
 

i was rushing to class (i was already late), she was on a phone call, and rushing somewhere. it didnt occur to me to ask for a phone #. seemed stalker-esque.

I'm a neo, and what I've already done is had business cards made - so whenever I meet a new soror, I just give her one of my cards. Much easier than trying to find a scrap of paper and a pen (and folks are less likely to lose a business card).

I have cards as well for OES. I just think it adds a professional touch, yanno?

Ditto...I also have sorority cards, and I hand them out to sorors and fellow greeks. If anyone's interested, I can pass on the name and contact info of the person who made them for me; she did great work and she can make personalized cards for any organization.

exactly!
 

i co-sign whole heartedly!

sorority cards? never thought about that...

yeah, pass that contact person on.

Soror, what is wrong with stalking another Soror? LOL!!!

Is this a New York thing or what? I have met so many Sorors, many who are inactive, just by approaching and always wearing my para.

Just the memory of this made me smile when I recall meeting 2 Sorors in my daughter's Girl Scout Troop several years ago.

I posted this here before in another thread. Within that troop I have made friends with women of other D9 sororities because they STALKED ME! I wear my t-shirts and hats a lot! :D

Re: Re: Re: Re: meeting sorors unexpectedly
 

it may be a new york thing, you know, we're always in our bubbles and everything.

but it could be a me thing, not wanting to stalk people and everything.

i'll work on it...

Soror, I was just messing with you. It's not just a New York thing either.

I met another soror in my building yesterday! All this time I didn't know cause she teaches in another section and I hardly ever see her.

I'm so happy!

it keeps on getting better!
 

how about this:

i went on a cruise to the bahamas last week and on the ship, i ran into this lady who was wearing a blue and gold bag that i could have SWORE i got at the SE regional conference in 2004. . . i ran up to her and said, "i am sorry, but can i look at this bag?" she was a little confused, but said yes. . . and when she flipped it, i saw our SHIELD! we hugged each other and chatted... and chatted... and chatted...
very happy moment.

At my place of employment we have a pretty relaxed dress code. There are a lot of greeks that work here but, only the younger ones actually wear peri to work every once in a while. I wear mine when the day permits as well ( I also have a pendant on the wall of my office, not to mention the license plate on my car). I just recently found out that one of the psychiatrists is a SGRHO (She saw my plate on the car as I was pulling into the parking lot)as well as one of the workers in human resources! SMALL WORLD!! I also recently met a psych intern student who is also a lady sigma (saw me in a one of a kind t-shirt one day)!

You just never know . . .
 

Sorhors and Greek Friends,

I just ran into one of my former students from the class of 2000 and what was she sporting the Royal blue and Gold big Sigma Neo shirt. I just couldn't believe this intelligent young African American woman is now calling me soror and she's also working on her MA in education!

I'm back
 

:D Yeah I've been gone for a million seconds... ok more like a billion, luv ya all. Anyways, back on top. It's something you get use to I guess. I remember getting snatched on the train coming home from class as the Soror had came through my chapter many moons ago.... we exchanged information and KIT to this very day. I remember having a soror run up on me in the dag on mall. Almost made me drop my ice cream..( I was in a sling), that same day I was EE-YIP in the mall by another soror....... that daggon jacket. And lastly tracked down in the supermarket by a soror who is in her 50's and has been active since undergrad. She said all she saw was the letters and had left her mother and was looking for me for 12mins... LOL.

It's nice to network and Lord knows I LOVE MY SGRHO..... EE-YIP:D

where you been hiding?!

lol, here and there.... sorry

Sorhor cjoanell,

Welcome back! This sorhor passed me in her white SUV and beeped the horn, threw up the sign, smiled and I just had to laugh out loud because she was doing all of this and making a right turn. This Sigma was smooth and with it! I don't know who you are but you go girl.

Serioussigma22:cool:

thanks soRHOr, you know how we do... i had a Kappa do that to me on the highway.... not our sign, his lol.... i was like ok playa:o

I met two sorors at LA Fitness. I met a San Diego soror with her shirt on, and after I stood there for 15 minutes while she worked out, I just got on the bike next to her, and we worked out for about 30 more minutes. The second soror was on the phone in her car, and I saw her license plate frame. I knocked on her window and quietly said, "Hi, soror." She grinned and said, "Hey, Soror!" LOL She had folks in the parking lot turning around staring, and we cracked up as we hugged and went inside to work out together. We exchanged info, too.

Why did I call another soror who was very helpful to me before I began the RHOad to Sigma, and another soror answered her phone? We talked for about 30 minutes and exchanged information. I love making connections with my sorors, whether on the highway or just on the phone. *sigh*

I have ran into so many sorors this past month. I love it!! Once in a chinese restaurant (saw my leather jacket)! I recently was followed by one in some type of SUV with a SIGMA/SGRHO plate in the front!

Although I am not a member of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Inc. this sister has such a warm and amazing spirit and I just loved talking with her, joking around and getting our dance on. She is so sweet, my mom and I just had a ball with her.

Hey! I haven't talked to you in forever, what's going on?

I know, I know! I'm laying back in the ATL while I'm trying to get right in so many ways. I'm still looking forward to the chapter meeting and getting started in the sorority year!!! Can I borrow $20 for my dues? :p

Okay, I'm just getting back to see this! Thanks girl, that is too sweet. NAPPS RULE!!! :)
