I am a recent alumnae sister, and I covered at the last minute for someone during tonight's ritual as 7 girls became MITs for the Kappa Psi chapter at Fresno State (whose football team just beat Boise State this weekend *brag*).
This is huge for us. I hope and pray they all go through because that would be highly symbolic, and we could finally qualify for a lottery to place our booth in the booth row at the University Student Union... and we'd get money, too! Campus recognition would be fantastic.
When I was active, at one point there were just three of us. Two were about to graduate, and so the day our PO came for an emergency visit (I thought that was going to be the "plug pull" news), we suddenly gained 4 MITs in late March. Because they were previously in Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma, they knew how the exam worked. Did I mention I was their VPM?
Ever since then, we have had an initiation every semester, and I have cried at every single one of them.
So I'm finding comfort in knowing that the little voice inside my head was right. "Anne, you can sleep. One day when you graduate the chapter is going to grow and it will continue to grow."
We are the little chapter that could! GROW US!
