True blue old chums!
 

I was in Kansas City last weekend for a quilting retreat. I took an evening away from that to have dinner at the home of one of my chapter sisters. Alex and I pledged the same night, were initiated together, and sat next to one another in chapter meetings. I was her maid of honor, too, and that particular evening was their 27th anniversary -- his gift to her was a dozen red and buff roses!

Mari-Anne, who is Alex's sister-mother, was a guest at dinner (along with her new-to-us boyfriend). We hadn't all three been together since my wedding in 1980.

Alex and Randy gained a daughter-in-law and a grandson this year. It turns out that the DIL is an Alpha Gam, from Epsilon Beta.

"...to cherish friendships with but a chosen few and to study the perfecting of those friendships..." How true this is, now that I write from the vantage point of 30 years!

What a wonderful story! I got chills up and down my arms reading it. Thank you for sharing that with us. I wish happy times like that for all my sisters!

Yea Sisterhood! AGD rocks!

Right now I can only fathom graduating in 2 years...but I hope to one day tell a story like that of my own.

I joined AGD because it was new to my campus and thought it would be really cool to be a charter member. My only other greek family ties were my dad and aunt (she is a Tri-Delt). Anyway, at my step-brother's HS graduation party I found out that his cousin is an AGD from Epsilon (she has been Alum for awhile) and then this past summer I was wearing a baby squirrel party shirt at a Family thing and found out that my aunt by marriage is an alumna from M of Ohio! It is so great to find more and more ladies in my family that are sisters.
