lol

. . .running to bank to cash it . . . drinks are on me, gals!

eta - tell your friend it is VERY nice!

yes mam will do.

Mahvalous!!!!! Tell our fellow Magnolia thanks!!!!!!!!!! And, is she azure blue or pink? Either way, tell her to bring her lion self over here!

Very pretty ktbug! Send our Magnolia thanks!

and she loves it!!!

i myself would love to be part of the macon magnolia mafia.... but i still haven't rushed yet but will hopefully being do so in the fall of 08... i've started looking at the websites *national and chapter* to get an idea!!! :)

Since you were sweet enough to coin the phrase, I'll get the next round!


ktbug10474, please give your friend our thanks - beautiful imagery! And good luck in the fall!

yes but you did not coin "Macon Magnolia" to start with, so you have infringed on trademark.

A Phi Mu (Jacquelyn Einsel) coined it originally.

A bill will be forthcoming.

Stand in line, sage, stand in line.

and am I the only one who thinks of the hymn "For all the saints . . ." every time I see this thread title?

hehehehe ;)

Tri - Mu royalty cheque
 

I know - she can have 2/3, I'll take 1/3. I'll call when the check arrives . . .

eta - the ghost of Nathaniel Macon may be hitting her up for his cut!

I'm confused... We're in 2008 aren't we? :confused:

AHH YES we are in 2008!!

lol i have the problem that i still write checks etc... with the previous year until like march! lol

I just want to add a quick note....

While the "Macon Magnolia Mafia" is cute....it was coined during a heated game.

I don't know if I like the addition of "mafia" as part of the nickname. None of the others have the tag of something with a sinister, malvolent connotation on it as "mafia" carries. (Syracuse Triad, Monmouth Duo, etc)

I must prefer the more "demur" and southernly elegant illustration presented by the simple "Macon Magnolias".

^^^Agreed. I didn't join a mafia, I joined a sisterhood. :D

I had never heard the "Macon Magnolias" before GC - is it in widespread usage? I am actually surprised that none of the southern-founded sororities used a magnolia for their flower. Oh - and I think "Macon Magnolia Mafia" would be a cute mixer theme (!).

ktbug, I feel stupid for asking this, but I thought you were already Greek (being on GC and all...) :confused:

Just a note, kt, your location says you're "deep in SEC country", so just a reminder, they take rush pretty seriously down there, discretion here will be a good idea until you have a bid in hand. Just something I've picked up by observation...

chinese gangs are called triads

yes i know how serious rush is down here , i'm a born and bred southern girl. and while i may be deep in sec country only a select few know exactly where i plan on rushing next year and it's not an sec school.


and while mafia overall may have a bad connotation it's not necessarily bad it's all how you intrepret it .. my all-star team had the nickname Purple Mafia for all the time i was there and that's not bad at all.. now when you say Italian Mafia... i think of the godfather ... lol :D

KT...

the Mafia was coined because we, Macon Magnolias, were double teaming to win "the top sorority" in a silly GC game in a friendly rivalry with our dear Gamma Phi Beta GC friends. Yes, we were a bit annoying ;).

I still prefer the simple "Macon Magnolias" and always will. Alpha Delta Pi will forever be a fond "sibling" sisterhood in my heart.

HOWEVER, I run an email list for sisters only, and occasionally when we are discussing a transgression by an "outsider" (read husband, boyfriend, annoying coworker, etc) we do refer to ourselves as the "Pink Mafia" when we are rallying around our beleaguered sister. THAT I like a little better.

Sage - looking at your siggy I am struck by how nice the pink and blue look together. (Shh . . .don't tell the Betas!) If you don't mind, I may appropriate the term "Pink Mafia" - I especially like the way you use the term for your sisters-only list.

I give "Pink Mafia" to you with an unlimited useage license :) with a big smile and a hug in the greek spirit :).

Awwww . . .feeling the panhellenic love . . . :)

Hey, I'm feeling pretty gangster now. Fear the Syracuse Triad! :p

Woo-hoo! Syracuse Triad in da house!

Nittany,

I didn't mean to come off as being a b in my last post on this thread. i was just like argh at the time.

Oh, no worries! :) I didn't take you as a "b" at all. :)

okie dokie. THANK YOU!!!!!!!

I saw an ADPi sticker on the car in front of me while coming back from watching Juno.

ktbug.... just wondering... who made you honorary Macon Magnolia? And did you already go through rush since you have AGD in your profile?

Although I'd probably give someone who claimed to be an honorary mafia member a pass on general principle, I've been really curious about your story too, KTbug.

It seems like at one point you were listing yourself like you were a recruitment counselor too and yet post indicated that you hadn't rushed yet. What's the story?

I could have sworn that she told me she was DG when we were pming each other about local malls.

Don't get it. You posted a post in July in another thread that you wore your jersey somewhere. Are Southern schools' rush already over?

Oh, goodie! A GC mystery!
