My best friend joined AXO about a week before I did. She's at UF and their rush was earlier than ours. She told me the name of her house, but I didn't really remember it (I was Greek letter illiterate at the time!). Then, when I told her what house I was in, we realized that we were both sister as well!
So, my best friend is an AX.. a girl I grew up with is an AXO at Syracuse, another girl I went to high school with is an AXO at American, another girl I knew from school is an AXO at Maryland. We're all over the place and its great seeing them because we always bring up the fact that we're sisters.
Oh, and I was at Baskin Robbins last week and I was wearing my cute letter sweatpants. A girl who worked there, on her way out, passed by me and said "Hey! I'm an AXO too!" Turns out she's an AXO at UPenn.
ANOTHER AXO run-in! A famous one, this time! A bunch of my sisters and I were in line to hopefully see a taping of American Idol. I was looking at the VIP line and noticed a woman who walked by that I kinda recognized. I wasn't sure it was her, so I talked about it with my friends. One of them decided to yell "Laura!" and see what happened. I was right; it was Laura Innes from ER (one of our famous alums!). So, I went up to her afterwards and let her know that we were all AX's and that we took pride in the fact that she was one of our alum. She thought it was really sweet and introduced herself to me, and then introduced me to her son. She was super sweet and it was really cool to make the AXO connection. The joys of living in LA!
Oh! And my roommate and another AX that I was with ended up being on national television! They were featured in the national commercial saying "Clay all the way!" and cheering and then FOX interviewed them and showed their interview during the American Idol finale episode. It was pretty cool seeing my sisters on national TV!
Oh, sorry! Let me introduce myself! My name is Whitney and I'm at USC. I'm new to these boards, but I'm excited to talk to other AX's about anything and share some ideas, concerns, etc. My current location says Los Angeles, but I'm spending the summer at home in Maryland (which would explain why all of my AX friends that I mentioned above are on the east coast).
