Favorite Things
 

What are your favorite silly or fun things about being a Sig Kap?

Mine is that our jewel is the pearl. I wear pearls all the time, and so does a friend in DZ. I tease her that I have more of a claim on them than she does, since they're our official jewel.

I love that our SLAM is actually a word! :p

I love purple and since lavender is purple and maroon is close I claim it as an unofficial SK color.

One Heart One Way baby! I know my sisters back me up! :D

Me too!

And I ::heart:: our open motto! :p

Above the drama, above the fights, above the mandatory stuff you don't want to go to, I love being an SK because even if I don't like you, you're my sister and I love you. I'll do anything to protect you. You're family.

I love the pop songs we've converted into SK songs-it still makes me giggle to hear the SK version of 'hollaback girl' and 'get low'.

I love knowing that we're the second biggest contributer to alzheimer's research in the country.

You've heard Hot in Here right? I have it posted on the boards. There's also Dirty and I used to know Crazy. :D

I love that we hseem to have a national reputation for realness. That was one of our recruitment themes. We're real girls :D

Eve6's 'Here's to the Nights' came on the radio the other day, and I was stunned to realize that I no longer knew the real words - only the SK version!

Here's to the days and nights of fun
Here's to the memories yet to come
Here's to my Sigma sisters, always by my side.

That's how I am with the songs above.

Does anyone have the lyrics to Drops of Jupiter? My chapter sang it but I was computer girl and didn't learn it :(

I love that I'm a part of someting that is bigger than just my chapter at my university!!! Since I've become a Sigma Kappa I've got in contact with Sigma Kappas from all over! My cousin is a SK at Central Missouri and I had no idea! Also my friends at U Nevada Reno have been telling me how their rush went (they're colonizing!). It's soo exciting and I can't wait to visit other chapters!

You know, we have a chapter sister (she's actually my Twin) at UNLV for grad school...if you ever make it out that way, I'll make sure you have her #.

I love our colors and doves. What I can't say (for obvious reasons) is what I LOVE about our ritual. Very special and very meaningful.

I'll never forget pledging in. I just remember looking around and seeing every woman in that room and knowing they were my sisters and that we shared something no one else outside SK could possibly understand. A very special night.

I love how I can always find a sympathetic ear to listen to me when I whine even though I'm being a jackass half the time.

Yeah but I'm a jackass 95% of the time and it makes me feel better everytime you are because then I know I am in the right sorority, an organization full of dorks, klutzes and nerds :D I wouldn't change it for the world!

I loved our ritual! It was so much more special, beautiful and meaningful than I ever thought it would be. I never expected it to be like that! I kinda guess I thought it would be like "our founders thought lavender was nice, and doves are pretty." :rolleyes: IT WAS SOO AMAZING! :D

Did the glittery spandex suit work out ok? What about the sacrificial goat? I hope he's ok b/c I know that things can get rough during initiation. ;) :p

Oooh, how was the flaming coffin? I think ours is much more attractive than the one in The Initiation of Sarah.

Congratulations sister :)

Please do update us on the sacrificial goat. :D

Congrats!
(Did you have a hard time eating a violet while doing a shot of blood?)

I have mastered that move. Now, the one thing I have always had trouble with is the hand stand, back handspring, double turn with high leg-double twisting tuck jump.

I'm too old for that now. I'm glad alums only have to do a few cartwheels.

I don't know about the sacrificial goat, maybe it's a florida thing, but we used a sacrificial dove instead. The blood was ok as long as you pretended it was koolaid (at least that's what my alum Sigkapsweetie said to do)

I know you don't have anything to compare it to yet, ufdale, but the midget this year was fantastic!

Okay, to bring the thread back to the original topic... (I'm amused though!)...my favorite part is the excitement when you randomly talk to someone and find out they're a sister, and you feel this special connection that makes you both smile!

I do enjoy this. I was sitting at a table drinking my soda when a random girl asked if she could also sit at my table. I smiled & said yes. Imagine my surprise when she pulled off her sweater & she was wearing a SK tanktop. She was a La Verne member & I'm an alum. We had a very nice talk before we both had to rush off to class.

REASON #25 (hint hint we're starting a pattern, fellow post whores)
I love our handsign! It looks cutesy and less like a gang sign.

I co-sign this (pun intended). Ours is so cute! I like both the heart/doves and the heart/doves/triangle, but the latter seems to come out better in pictures.

Reason #27

I love when a friend goes through rush and joins SK!

Reason #28


Your professor is an alumna of the Gamma Eta chapter at Ball State & proceeds to fascinate you with stories of her time as an undergrad SK! :D

I met an awesome alumna from a big southern chapter. She told me stories of rush in the mid 90's with over 1000 girls rushing. Really eye opening considering I'm used to rush of about 300-350 women.
