Met a sister!!
 

This is SO EXCITING!!!!

Those of you who know me have a pretty good idea that I am politically active. So Friday I was at the Board of Elections to support a city councilwoman who is filing for re-election. The mayor and several members of his staff are there. I go over to speak with some of them that I had met on a trip to DC in December. One of the ladies looks at my quill and asks if I am an Alpha Xi. I say yes, are you? She gets all happy and says- Yes, we're sisters!!! I get a big hug right there in the BoE. At lunch she introduced me to everyone as her sorority sister, and that started a chain of which sorority each lady is in. I met a Pi Phi, AXO, and several ladies who have daughters in orgs.

It turns out that this lady was initiated into a Pennsylvania chapter (I forget which one) in '62. She didn't know we have an alum association or a chapter here. I will tap her skills (she's an event planner for two campaigns) to help us plan Formal and other events.

The moral here is: ALWAYS wear your pin (or other insignia) because you never know when a lost sister is nearby.

That is so exciting! I was at the mall in my hometown of Illinois and some old man came up to me and asked if I was in Alpha Xi Delta, because I was wearing my letters. I said yes and he told me that his wife that had passed away a couple weeks ago was also an Alpha Xi Delta. He was so excited to meet me and told me how much his wife had loved AXiD and loved all her sisters. It was so cute and I was happy, he told me I made his day.

Xi Love,
