I had a similar experience...my first one since joining AOII! I go to Indiana University, but my family lives in Michigan. Dad and I went to a mall in Kalamazoo. I was wearing our really cute homecoming sweatshirt. On the front, it says, "Omicron" rather than the whole sorority name. Dad and I were looking at the display hot-tubs and this girl working at a stand came up to me and asked me what Omicron meant. I told her that it was the middle letter of my sorority name. She then asked what sorority I was in and I told her AOII. She kinda screamed and hugged me saying that she was an AOII too! She told me that she was initiated in a school in TN, but then moved to Michigan to a school where there weren't any AOII's. The neatest thing was that she was wearing a ring that looked exactly like the one I was wearing, but hers was gold and mine is silver! After my dad closed the deal with the hot-tub guy, I went over to her to say good-bye. I gave her my email address and told her that she was more than welcome to visit our chapter. She gave me another hug and then I left. She was such a nice girl, I really hope that she does email and bring some girls to IU. It was awesome to meet another sister! I hope it happens again soon!
