Tech APhi---I can't wait to read it! I posted my Rush story last night in an ADPi forum but I'll repost it here:
When I went through Rush ('93) I knew I wanted to be in one of the "Alpha" sororities---AXO,
A-Phi, or ADPi. They seemed to be the most down to earth and have the strongest sisterhoods in
my opinion. From what I had heard from my fraternity friends, they were the "nice girls" of greek
circle. They didn't seem to be "cookie-cutter" sororities either which I really liked--and all did lots
of philanthropy. They also all seemed the most conservative and "classy"--in appearance and
actions --which impressed me. I rushed as a sophmore so I kinda had a feel for the sororities
before I Rushed. I have to say KKG, KAT, and Pi-Phi were also very classy/preppy girls too.
Things may have changed since then but that what it seemed like to me :-)
Chi-O, KKG, KAT, Tri-delt, ZTA, and Pi-Phi were all really nice but I rushed as a sophmore and
knew their "reputations" ahead of time and knew they weren't for me. They all had good
reps---they just didin't feel like "home". I don't know why but I never felt either way about DG,
KD, and Gamma Phi.
In the middle of Rush, I found out that one of my best friends from high-school's mom (Joyce)
was an ADPi at Tech in the 60's ....and I think that's what finally made my decision. I had grown
up with her son and always looked up to her. She had passed away the year before and it was a
surprise to everyone. The really cool part of the story is that when I was an Alpha, her
niece....who also went to my highschool...and was an ADPi at Southwestern....was in grad school
at Tech and was a chapter advisor at the time. During initiation--to my complete surprise---she
pinned me with Joyce's badge! It was so meaningful. I KNEW ADPi was where I was supposed
to be and just goes to show that everything works out for a reason :-)
Here's another funny story about how I know I was meant to be an ADPi: Last March I got
married and my new last name is "Pye!" How's that for coincidence. I keep telling my husband
that I married him for his name..he..he..he..
