the picnic basket in the back and the acoustic guitar. Little did Cassie know what was in store for her on her first real date with Spencer.

As they drove off the campus, the young couple laughed and talked. Spencer drove for about 30 minutes, then turned into the driveway of a large estate-like property. Flowers adorned the sidewalks, and the sweet smell of magnolias filled the air. Trees provided shade over a beautiful Georgian style mansion located across the grass.

Spencer parked the car, then walked around to Cassie's door, opening it for her. As she stepped out, he took her hand and kissed it. Goosebumps ran up Cassie's back as she smiled at her sweet beau.

"Where are we?" she questioned, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.

"Well, why don't you see if you can figure it out for yourself.." drawled Spencer with a teasing glance.

Cassie looked around at the beautiful acreage and saw the buildings with the Greek columns. As she looked around she had a sense of deja vu....like she had seen this place before, somewhere. She closed her eyes, trying to think. "Now why does this look so familiar...?"

All of a sudden, the memory came to her....a small picture framed in a silver frame....with this exact same building! She gasped, then stood in awe as she glanced around the property.

"Spencer!!! Oh my goodness, why...why...it's more beautiful than I ever dreamed...But...how...what...why?"

"Are you surprised? It took a lot of work and I had to ask a favor of someone really really close to me..."

"What do you mean?..."

"Well, Cassie, I have a little surprise for you....you see, I've always held the highest respect for the women of Alpha Delta Pi. That's one reason why our fraternity usually chooses someone from your group as the White Rose. But there's another reason as well...see, these were also the values that I grew up with as well. A true lady, with gentle manners, strong morals, and respects the beauty within others...someone who always sees the finest in people. Even through the most turbulent of times in their lives, these women I grew up always conducted themselves as ladies. Cassie, darling,..My great-great grandmother, great-grandmother, my grandmother, my mother and all of my aunts were all members of Alpha Delta Pi, and are still very active today..."

CLICK!! Oh my goodness, thought Cassie, as she looked at Spencer closely. "Wait a minute...you mean..." she gasped, dazed at the thoughts flashing through her head as she realized why Spencer, and the building...looked so familiar.
