I pledged before the switch to the KORE program, so I had to wait an
entire semester.
Some of my favorite things of I-week were our special sessions with each class. Every night during the week my pledge class would get together with an older pledge class and just spend time together--we might all go get ice cream somewhere, we might pile into the TV room and all watch chick flicks--one class had us pass around cut-out paper hearts with our names on it and we each had to write a fond memory or a warm fuzzy about that person. They were great ways to better get to know the older members and just learn how Kappa touches everyone in the house.
Another favorite thing we did was "Secret Actives" After dinner each night we would have treats for us up in the PJ lounge (computer room) or formal liv from our secret active. These were always small, cheap ($3 or under) gifts that were fun and/or related to Kappa. It was fun trying to guess who our SA was. She then revealed herself after Initiation. (though I don't know if that's allowed anymore) It just made us feel so special!
We always did a brunch the Saturday morning after everything was over where all the advisers and alumnae were welcome to attend. Everyone was flush with Kappa after initiation and the atmosphere in the house was just great!
