My Sophomore to Junior year in college during the summer. Before I left for college that summer, my parents had an "early" birthday party for me. My father dressed up in his Alpha 'nalia and my mother dressed up in her AKA 'nalia. I don't know how intentional it was because if my mom did it, I was against it...
But, it was so nice of my family to give me a "going away early" birthday party. Then, the sheet cake came out and is was all pink and green flowers. And at that point, I realized who was there. All my mom's chapter with a few Delta friends. Most of the men were Alpha's, the Kappa's and the Omega's.
At that point, I wanted to stay with legacy, heritage and tradition. At that point, I knew I wanted to pursue the ivy leaf pledge club...
The only regret I have is I did not pledge in Pi Chapter--my mom's chapter.
