I'm nostalgic for the socials, the chapter meetings, the philanthropy events, the serenades, date functions, fraternity parties, recruitment and Diamond Sister Revelation....
What I miss most of all is getting ready for a party with my best friends, taking 2 AM drives to random places--- just to eat ice cream, road trips and football games, those long meaningful talks about the meaning of life, intramural football and floor hockey!--taking runs around campus late at night with close friends, giggling about the cute new boys in XYZ Fraternity, helping the alumnae decorate the local Ronald McDonald House for the holidays....
So many things I miss, but then I look back and remember the inherent drama that comes with being 20 years old and in college! And I look to the present and see all of the wonderful people who have come into my life, and the years of deep and lasting friendship we have shared, and continue to share. I think of driving out to LA from Orlando with my best friend in ADPi, our impromptu ADPi reunions in Vegas, Tampa, Fort Myers, Orlando.... any excuse to get together and giggle. I think of all the wonderful friends I have made through being a member of the alumnae assoc and as an adviser-- all of my sisters who come from different universities, but who still possess the qualities that I would look for in an Alpha Delta Pi. I look at my Greek co-workers and enjoy greatly our time in the office together and then out on the town.
The memories are wonderful, the present couldn't be any better, I look forward to the future and I thank my lucky stars I am a Greek!
