I've been searching the boards for weeks now about recruitment ideas and sisterhood ideas, I keep coming across something new that I want to comment on. (I'll try to keep my bringing threads up from the dead a minimum though)
Since we just rechartered this year, we were assigned "Long Distance" Diamond sisters a few weeks after Alpha Ceremony.... My diamond is the same year I am at UF and we talked all the time at first, I felt a connection with her right away. The few weeks before Initiation, I started thinking about depledging and questioning if ADPi was really for me (sooo glad I didn't!). She was the best and reminded me that you can't expect immediate bonds with 90 something girls, it's just not possible. It was a rough couple of weeks, but she told me to stick with it because things will get better and they did. I hadn't talked to her in about a month and then a few days ago she IMed me and our short 15 min. conversation totally made my day. It's amazing how you can have such a strong connection with someone you've never met; sometimes it's scary how often we'll say the same exact thing. lol-
As for prides, we were assigned prides with 8-10 girls last semester and they were great at first, but after a few weeks it would be the same 3 or 4 girls showing up at pride events. Halfway through the semester, it just died out. Our MEVP just assigned new prides and pride leaders will be announced on Monday after they get back from DLC :crossing fingers:. Definitely looking forward to this semester---- so many great things planned and so many great times ahead.
Now back to browsing the boards.....
