Hi, since recruitment is coming up for most of us, let's take a minute to share our favorite Sigma moments!

Pref. Party when I was going through formal and def. Bid Night... those first moments when Sigma was a part of my life just made me cry and cry and cry. It was an amazing feeling.

So far, my favorite memory of Sigma was when I went to their (our) Preference party in 2003, when I went through Structured. It was so beautiful and my best friend was in the chapter and she had written my preference letter- made me bawl like a baby. Anyway, the ceremony just showed so much of what Sigma is like and I fell in love with the chapter right then and there. My decision to put Sigma as my #1 choice on my Bid Card was NOT because of my friend, but because how awesome the chapter was.

Yay for favorite moments!
I love Big/Lil matchup! We haven't had ours yet, but the Bigs did find out who their Lil's were tonight, so next week we will have our official matchup! YAY! I'm going to be getting a GrandLil

One of my favorite Sigma moments was my Bid Day. I just remember being SO happy to finally be a Sigma. I didn't go through recruitment freshman year, becuase I was worried about my course load since I was in the honors program. By second semester, I was so sad not to be Greek and at that time, no sororities on my campus did COR. The good thing is, though, that by waiting a year, I had a chance to observe all (at that time) 3 chapters on campus, and had TONS of friends in Sigma, so I knew that's where my heart was! Anyway, on my bid day, we had a cookout and afterwards went to the football game. I still can remember walking off the Sigma floor to the stadium and feeling SO HAPPY...like I was finally home!

I have a few myself:

*Getting my bid that I was scared I wouldn't get.

*Getting my #1 rush crush my first recruitment as an active.

*Seeing us get OUR NEW house this past August!

My newest favorite Sigma memory was this semester's Big/Lil Matchup. I was getting a Grand Lil- I was hoping to get one before I go alumni. My Grand Lil is such a perfect fit into my family line- I couldn't be happier!!!

I wanted to bump this up with some of my most favorite moments as both an active and an alumna:

*Seeing my collegiate chapter double in size in just one year!

*Being there for my big sister's candlepass when she announced her engagement this Sunday!

- Our Sisterhood retreat during my first semester in Sigma - it was so much fun just to be silly and get to know one another. I have many priceless photos of an impromptu dancing session one night; a good song came on and we were off.

That was also the weekend my Big Sister was revealed.

- My Initiation: it was absolutely beautiful. And I was so proud to wear my Big Sister's badge for three days.

- The fun of getting my Little Sis and leaving presents for her everyday for the Big/Little week. I thought I was being clever and throwing her off the path, but she'd already figured me out, haha.

She also figured out who everyone else was matched with (and got it right!).

- Being a part of the A/CAC in 2003, it was so amazing and inspiring to go to Walton House and meet such wonderful sisters, and to be a part of making the sisterhood stronger and better.

- I have so many special Sigma memories, I could go on for ages, but will refrain for now and perhaps post more later.

Sigma Love,
Laura

--Suiciding Sigma... now that I know so much more about recruitment, I can't believe I had the guts to do that!
--Growing my family and spending time with the Snakes: my big, my little and half-little, my two grandlittles (one of whom has since dropped Sigma

but I still love her), and my great-grandlittle.
--Being the matriarch of my family. Letting little #1 and now great-grandlittle wear my pin until they got theirs.
--Meeting random sisters. One stopped me at the mall in Fresno to ask if there was a chapter nearby. I told her that Beta Nu had been there in the 50s but that the closest was Epsilon Alpha--and she was an Epsilon Alpha! I met one at a work barbecue--she'd been a friend of my mom's for a long time and I guess I'd never worn letters around work before. And I even have my boyfriend trained to spot Sigma letters 'cause last time I visited him, he noticed the girl in the letter shirt crossing the street WAY before I did!
--At Christmas, we had the bio daughter of a Sigma as a guest... the present she got for me was PURPLE for Sigma!
--Knowing that whenever I need help, I can find it in a sister... even if it's not the sisters I would usually be closest to, someone will find me when I need them the most!

*Hearing that my chapter won the Commitment to Excellence award (along with Beta Delta) this past summer at Convention.

*Taking my first & only Little Sis in Fall 2006!

*Seeing my Little become a leader in the chapter and take 3 Littles of her own!

*Seeing my chapter go from LAST in grades to #2 in one year!

My absolute favorite memory of Sigma is hands down my initiation. I was a charter member and to experience the beauty of our Ritual and then knowing that we were founding members was just awesome!
