"You're related to one of ADPi's founders?!?!?!" Cassie exclaimed, too stunned to say anything more.

Spencer smiled, brushing a wisp of hair off of Cassie's face. "Yes, I am. Octavia Andrew Rush was my many-times great-grandmother. That's where I got my middle name from. You see, it's a very big family tradition for our family to go Greek....all the women go ADPi, and the guys all go Sigma Xi. I've been brought up knowing the history of the first secret society for women, and have had the utmost respect for every woman who is privileged enough to wear that diamond badge."

"I'm speechless," Cassie murmured. "Why me? There are SO many more wonderful women in my chapter - what made you and your brothers look closer at me? Don't give me "because you're the prettiest, or the smartest", or anything like that. What made you even give me a second look?"
