[LexiKD]

To be honest I couldn't explain 100% why I love KD, there isn't enought paper or space in GC to get into it all.

I have had a blessed KD experience. From the begining I was surronded by great NPC women. We were a local that affiliated and brought KD back to ECU.
From the get go we were bias toward KD b/c she is such a well known group and in NC she was very popular. I had friends at Beta Chi(UNC) and they all agreed that KD was pretty much top dog there as well as many other NC schools.
We began our process, interviews of a few NPC groups. We got to meet with consultants and national reps, but when KD came they meant business. J.Johnson & M.Duncan stole the show. I couldn't have been more impressed with their confidence and personalities. We all sat there and thought, when I grow up I want to be these well rounded women that spoke so honestly about what we were and what we could become.
After we decided to go with KD, which took about 5 seconds to vote on I went to SEPC with PH. I met B.Warren and C.Stegall as they arrived and those two took me under their wing introducing me to all the KDs and telling them I was the newest KD and they needed to tell me everything they knew....it was so much fun buying KD bags and goodies for the chapter!
I actually got to go to NLC as a new member b/c I was president but not initiated....long story, colonization was to take place in the Fall! I met all our National Council, was called out at every dinner as the only new member. It sounds a little embarassing, but when you figure I went to San Fran alone, not even knowing a person or even being a real KD yet, these women took me in and I felt like I was born to bleed green. I was just so excited to be there I was early to EVERYTHING and proud of my 1st degree badge. All in all I was and am still a KD Dork at heart!
Colonization began with a CDC, Mary, the rock of our chapter who to this day I am Best Buds with. From then on we had National officers in and out and finally got initiated. Since I was a Senior I graduated out but my little sister became President, they just won chapter of the year and we are trying to a house!
I begame the HC president and an AA president.
A good KD friend of mine told me once that KD broke her down and built her up to become the best women she could have been. I think that is so true. I try each day to incorporate KD into my daily life and think I do an OK job. What kills me is to think all these peolpe saying that pledging is when you "earn" your letters. I disagree, I work every day to be more KD and feel that it is a constant earning process.
I love our organization b/c she gives us the tools to work with what we have as individuals inorder to make us better inorder to make KD better. I have had a great time in KD and couldn't have had a better expeirence! Truly KD is a life long part of my life!
