Sarah, you know what's funny...I was about to start a topic similar to this!

Okay, as you may know from some of my posts, we're the only Panhellenic organization on campus. Greek life isn't too strong on my campus, but in recent years we've been getting stronger.

Because we're one of only two internationals on campus (TKEs are the other one), we somewhat feel left out of the whole Greek scene on campus. There are 5 other sororities on campus and they have their own council. They've invited us to join them, but because of a conflict in principles (you know what I mean right?), our relations with them have been somewhat strained.

Still, that hasn't affected my chapter and our sisterhood. The new members we've gotten in the past three classes have had so much impact on our chapter morale , and I know that it's because of my sisters that our chapter will only get better and better.

As for our relations with the other fraternities, I'd have to say that we are so close to our TKE brothers. There are two local frats that we've had functions with, but none of them compare to our TKEs. The TKEs are just that...they're brothers. I don't know why, but most (if not all) of us see them as brothers and there hasn't been any dating between us and them!

Both our orgs usually have our meetings on Tuesday nights at our Campus Center, so last January we thought it'd be funny to "re-arrange" their room by removing all their chairs and tables and scattering red and yellow rose petals all over the carpet. Okay--the petals started to stain the carpet, but the brothers were so nice about that they wouldn't even let us clean our mess when we offered to.

And then--for Valentines Day they returned the favor..only this time they had included a bucket of champagne (to be consumed at a more appropriate time, of course) and apple cider...not to mention individual mini champagne glasses for EACH SISTER that had candy in it.

Finally, my BF is in the Coast Guard and every other two months he's out on Patrol either to the South Pacific, Alaska, or down to Baja. For some odd reason our last two sisterhood retreats started on the days that he had to leave. You cannot imagine how thankful I am to my sisters for helping me keep my sanity while he's gone. It really helps that my sisters simply adore Brady, and he loves them too! (On a side note, it was through an "unofficial" Alpha Gam party that he and I met over a year ago )

I'll always be grateful to Alpha Gamma Delta for all of this!
