I was in my house up at school. I had woken up and was flipping channels on the TV in the living room. My roommate came in the front door and told me to turn on the news...the first plane had just hit. We watched in surprise thinking it was an accident...then in shock as the second plane hit. We stayed glued to the TV all morning. My roommate got a call that her cousin was inside one of the buildings (he was later pulled out of the rubble alive the next day) . I got a call from my sister that all our relatives in New York were accounted for, but that my uncle had been at the towers about twenty minutes before the first plane hit. That was kind of scary!
My chapter sold 9/11 T-shirts and sent all the money (a couple thousand dollars) to the American Red Cross. Unfortunately, I couldn't help because I was a Rho Chi at the time.
God Bless America!
