This thread is about coincidences that occur during our Greek experiences.
I will list two that happened to me. First, when I went away to college I was not sure just what to bring or pack up to go with me. I did, however manage to pack a beaded and sequined black evening bag. I pulled it out in time for my very first formal and I'm sure my jaw dropped wide open - the sequins were in the shape of -- arrows!!! There was no way that anyone could have planned a bigger surprize. What if I'd pledged another house, other than Pi Phi, with another symbol? No one in my immediate family had ever been Greek before as far as I knew, and I'm not sure if my mother or my best friend (an Alpha Phi) gave it to me. But I used it for every formal after that, and I still have it.
Secondly, years ago my boss chose me and a coworker for a special project, stating, "I need two dependable, level-headed young women to do this." So for most of the summer I sat next to this girl, working away. One day I leaned over to read the Greek letters on her necklace, which she had never worn before. Her letters were ... my letters. We were both Pi Phis, and neither one of us had known it.
What are your Greek coincidences?
