I can never think of just one.. I'm going to name 3 of the best:

• Of course, my own initiation stands out a lot. Our "New Member Educator" had us all waiting in her room (until everything was ready). She read us The Places You'll Go by Dr. Suess. And then of course the whole ceremony was really rad and I remember almost every detail even today. It was also really exciting to watch new members get initiated when I was the New Member Educator, I was all proud of them and stuff.
  
• One event I will probably never forget:
  We have these tiny little restaurants around called Waffle House (these are real big in the south from what i understand, although we were in Columbus, OHIO). It's a little 24 hour diner (think of that old T.V. show Alice). Some of our members, myself included, frequented one Waffle House in particular (Thursdays 10PM). Well, some of these members were seniors, and were sad because they would no longer be taking regular trips to "he Waff". Anyways, one particular sister, Kristi, was messing around one night, playing guitar, and she and 2 other sisters wrote "the Waffle House song". We're talking 3 verses and a chorus (all music majors, so it's actually not too bad!).
  We took a bunch of new members (i.e. pledges) and actives and packed 1/2 the store one night. Kristi brought the guitar. We all serenaded our 2 favorite waitresses (one of which was mentioned in the sone!). It was so funny and such a great bonding experience for everyone!!
  
• I just attended my GLO's National Convention (for the 1st time!) a couple of weeks ago. The whole thing was an awesome experience (*If you ever get a chance to attend your GLO's Convention, GO*). Something that made it extra-supadupa cool was that it was held in Columbus, my collegiate chapter's home. And there was a woman who was initiated into that chapter.. she graduated in 1942! We had a picnic and campus tour. She said the campus was so different!! Then we went to our chapter's 'frat room' (where meetings and stuff are held) and everyone got to look through scrapbooks and chat and stuff. This sister was looking at pictures from when she was there and found her Senior Voice Recital program, completely intact!! She also showed us the spot where her husband proposed to her! It was just a really, really neat opportunity to meet her, and all these other members from all over the country, 19 years old to.. well, some of them are up there
