Hi girls!
I'm not an Alpha Phi (I haven't rushed yet), and I hope you guys don't mind me posting in your forum! I should be doing some research online, but I'm procrastinating
. Anyhow, I met an Alpha Phi at Disneyland this summer!!!! It was so cool - she was such a sweetheart! So anyhow, we were in line for the rockets ride (I don't remember the exact name of the ride - but it's in Tomorrowland, and you can control how high your rocket flies). Unfortunately, it was also a terribly long line - it barely moved for awhile! She was in back of me with her boyfriend, who was wearing a "Phi-Ball 2000" t-shirt (how cute
). She was wearing a sweatshirt with the letters of Alpha Phi. Anyhow, her boyfriend left the line to buy some souvenirs at the nearby shop, since it seemed like the line wasn't going to move any time soon. We were complaining together about how long the line was (hehe), and then I asked her, "So you're an Alpha Phi?" She was really impressed that I knew the letters (I'm a high school senior). I explained to her that my sister was a KD in college, and I've known about Greek life ever since I was 10. She was so happy! She was such a sweetie. She's really nice, funny, and extremely pretty! We ended up talking for about 20 minutes, about everything from Greek life to college to San Francisco (that's where I'm from), and then after the ride ended, she gave me a hug and told me that she hopes that I'll go Alpha Phi next year and become her A-Phi sister!!!
I was so honored!!
I just wanted to share this story with you all!
BTW, when I got home to S.F., I immediately logged on to the Alpha Phi National Website and was so impressed
. You guys are awesome! I especially love your creed - I just think it's so beautiful!
