1. WHAT SCHOOL DID YOU GET INTIATED AT AND WHAT YEAR?
Northwest Missouri State University (Kappa Alpha)--Fall 2001
2. WHY DID YOU CHOOSE SIGMA KAPPA?
It all started the summer before my freshman year when I was still deciding whether or not to go through recruitment, and I asked a good guy friend from home that also went to Northwest which sorority he thought I would be best in. He said either Sigma Kappa or another organization. So I go to college and begin recruitment, and what do you know...of the five sororites on campus I loved both Sigma Kappa and the other organization from day one. In the beginning I liked the other organization a lot better, and after the second day I "knew"
I was perfect for the other organization...lol. But as each day of parties rolled on I began to realize that Sigma Kappas were more down to earth, friendly, funnier, and more like me than the other organization.
I started to see signs of the other organization being very fake, way to obsessed with winning everything like homecoming, greek week, intramurals and grades (funny thing though is that they really don't do as well in all of those things as they hyped it...a whole bunch of talk)
than sisterhood and the other really important things about a sorority. I'm so happy I realized what they were really like and what Sigma Kappa was really like. I look back now knowing how things really are, and am so glad I chose Sigma Kappa, the perfect choice for me!
3. WHAT DID YOUR FIRST SET OF LETTERS LOOK LIKE?
My bid day t-shirt...It had Sigma Kappa Bid Day 2001 on the front and a saying on the back that had something to do with wishing on stars. That's pretty bad that I can't remember the saying on my own bid day shirt! And oh yeah...the shirt was sort of a light medium blue with white writing, and there are white stars around the writing. Not the most exciting shirt, but it was special since it was my first.
4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MEMORY OF RUSH AND WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MEMORY SINCE THEN?
Favorite memory of recruitment was probably when the light bulb went off in my head that Sigma Kappa was for me
, and pref was probably my favorite day.
Since recruitment I have had so many wonderful memories. The best times are when I'm just hanging out with my sisters that I'm super close with at non Sigma Kappa functions....but if you want actual events...Greek Week was a blast (well most of it at least), and mom dot week/revealing was pretty awesome too.
