Here's two stories:

1) My Dad was getting on an airplane from Milwaukee to Chicago when the flight attendant spotted his WSU hat. She came up and asked him if he was a coug. He said no but that he is a proud Cougar dad. Being my father, he struck up a conversation with the woman. Turns out she not only pledged Sigma Kappa at WSU (though she later dropped the house), she also graduated from my high school. She said that she still had some friends that are SK alums and that they've been hearing great things about our chapter.

2) The summer after my senior year I went to a friend's wedding in my hometown. She was actually friends with my older brother and was four years older than me in school but our family is good friends with her family. The head counselor from the day camp I used to work at was there which I thought was weird because Jen and Vanessa were never really friends in high school. So I come to WSU a week later and go through recruitment on a total whim (I'm not the "sorority girl type" so I really went through just to see the insides of the houses.), and I get to Sigma Kappa on the first day and Jen, the head counselor, is standing outside as president of Sigma Kappa, which really made me think that maybe I too could be a sorority girl because Jen isn't the "sorority type" either. At the end of the week, I was given a bid to SK. From there it took a while for me to figure out that Vanessa was also a Sigma Kappa and a lot of my new sisters were at the wedding, sitting at the table next to me the whole time. My big sis was even one of Vanessa's bridesmaids.
