Home Sweet Home
 
As of today, I am now an Alumna Initiate of the sorority I gave the code name of Betelgeuse.

Thank you everyone who was supportive in my AI journey. More details once I come back from work later today.

But for now, let the guessing start. Here is the first clue:

"The motto of this organization
Is in the language William Shakespeare spoke."

Senusret I 11-17-2007 10:06 AM

Theta Phi Alpha. Congrats!

Congratulations on becoming a SISTER of THETA PHI ALPHA!!!

Love,
a loyal Brother

Scandia 11-17-2007 07:59 PM

OK Senusret, who informed you?

I wanted to have a guessing game. No fun if it is let out like that.

Scarlet- it would be a SISTER.

AnatraAmore 11-17-2007 08:10 PM

Congrats and welcome to our sisterhood! :) Which chapter did your initiation?

Scandia 11-17-2007 08:13 PM

I was initiated with the Alpha Tau chapter, even though they are not the closest collegiate one to me. There was also another Alumna Initiate with us- the wife of the chapter's advisor.

Nobody informed me -- I went with the least likely one and was gonna work up from there. What a fluke that it would be the one!

Honestly, most people knew ages ago...

Congratulations, Scandia. I'm very happy for you! It couldn't happen to a nicer and more deserving person.

ms_gwyn 11-18-2007 12:59 AM

Congrats Scandia

tinydancer 11-18-2007 01:38 AM

Congratulations to a fellow librarian!:)

Scandia 11-18-2007 08:21 AM

Actually, I would think the least likely one would be Chi Omega due to AI being so rare in it.

Thank you everyone for the good wishes and support.

Honeykiss1974 11-18-2007 09:32 AM

Senusret can sniff things out. He is the bomb

Anyway, congrats

trojangal 11-19-2007 04:33 AM

Congratulations to you. Enjoy your new sisterhood!

AlexMack 11-20-2007 11:58 AM

Gratz Scandia!

Just a word of advice-your guessing games are too complicated and most people don't want to play because they're frustrating.

I hope you enjoy your new sisterhood. Keep us updated on how it's going.

SthrnZeta 11-20-2007 04:20 PM

Yay Scandia!!! Congrats!!! I'm sure you'll have a wonderful and fulfilling time in Theta Phi Alpha!!!

Scandia 11-20-2007 11:13 PM

Mine??? But my first clue was just a fancy way of saying "my GLO's motto is in English".

Xidelt 11-22-2007 07:43 PM

Congratulations! Glad your patience paid off and you achieved your goal! I know it was a long road for you.

sigmadiva 11-23-2007 01:18 AM

I'm glad you found your NPC home. Enjoy, Enjoy, Enjoy!!!!:D

GroovePhi62 11-26-2007 11:25 AM

Ok I'm Confused ....can men join Theta Phi Alpha? Why is it called a Fraternity if it's all women?

The word "sorority" was not coined until Gamma Phi Beta was founded (year escapes me at the moment). Even then, there were some groups that chose to be a "Women's Fraternity".

SthrnZeta 11-26-2007 11:30 AM

"Zeta Tau Alpha is known as a fraternity, not a sorority. The founders intended ZTA be designated a “fraternity” to distinguish the organization from the sisterhoods organized in connection with men’s fraternities, called sororities."

And we're not the only one....

scbelle 11-26-2007 12:48 PM

Congrats to you and Theta Phi Alpha, Scandia! I hope you are happy in your new sisterhood. :)

And there are like 25,068 threads on this board explaining why that is not an entirely accurate statement for ZTA to make but I'm not going to show you any of them because you will throw a temper tantrum.

SWTXBelle 11-26-2007 09:53 PM

Reader's Digest Condensed version - early women's GLOs were called "women's fraternities" - hence all those GLOs formed prior to 1874 are fraternities. The term "sorority" was coined for Gamma Phi Beta upon the founding of the Beta chapter. Since then, some GLOs have chosen to use the term "sorority", and some "fraternity". Gamma Phi Beta's founding had NOTHING to do with any men's fraternity. HTH.

Back on topic - congratulations Scandia!

Senusret I 11-26-2007 09:54 PM

HTH = How The Hayle?

Help the Homeless?

Help This Heffa?

*lost*

SWTXBelle 11-26-2007 09:55 PM

LOL - Hope this helps - but I like "help this heffa", too!

Senusret I 11-26-2007 09:56 PM

Gotcha.....thanks!

SthrnZeta 11-26-2007 10:42 PM

Don't even start, Geeky. I already know all about all the reasons why that statement is not entirely accurate (since it's my org and all, I know how the brothers helped, etc, just quoting something to help) and I've already been told that every word on GC has already been said before. Thanks though.
