................it's all fine and grand that Phi Mu was picked by one of the locals, and I am sure Phi Mu Hqtrs will say yes and they will both live happily ever after etc...it surely does seem to be a match made in heaven...
...but let's not forget that two other National sororities presented as well -- Gamma Phi Beta and Kappa Delta -- BOTH are outstanding sororities (if I do say so myself!) and both have lots to be proud of -- are we not seen as 'face' sororities because we weren't chosen, I don't know...
...heck, I know my aging face ain't that gorgeous anymore! C'est la vie...Nonetheless, I am not gonna feel bad...
...after all, Phi Mu was a pretty likely choice since their Nu chapter used to be there many many years ago...their HQtrs is less two hours away (and in fact it will soon move to my fair city
...Personally, I hope that Carnation's prognostication ends up being true and one or both of us 'other' sororities are asked to colonize too. I am ready to help -- no matter how far it is for me to drive (less than two hours) and I know one of our local alums is ready to start an alumnae chapter now! She seems fairly prominent from what I can tell -- she is president of the local symphony orchestra and happens to live next door to the university president...
Congrats indeed to Phi MU and Let's all think happy thoughts for ALL the GLOs that presented!
