I wouldn't mind doing a meet up sometime - who else is from the area?!

IUHoosiergirl88 · #2 02-03-2013, 08:04 PM

I'm not from here, but I live here now! I'm in Silver Spring, 2 blocks from the Metro there

AngelPhiSig · #3 02-03-2013, 08:16 PM

I'm not from here either

I'm from Pittsburgh!

Would you be up for a GC Meetup? We did a Pgh one a few years, okay, probably more like 10 years ago. It was fun.

Definitely!

We're moving that way in June!

Not sure yet -- we are looking for a 4BR rental, hopefully in Falls Church or Vienna. I'll be working in Arlington. Seems like the 4BR houses in ARL are out of our price range, unfortunately.

^^^Lots of rentals in Burke/West Springfield as there is a high military officer population that rent out their homes when they move away from Washington. It's a bit further out but extremely easy to commute to the Pentagon/Arlington/the District via Metro, VRE or driving your own car.

And in case any of you are interested, the Nprthern VA Panhellenic Association is fairly active.

We've lived in the area before, I think Vienna is as far out as we want to go. I'm confident we'll find something that fits us.

Alum, are you part of it? Im kinda interested!

Also, I live further out, past Manassas, but my husband works in Vienna. We wish we could afford to buy, even here, but alas, we cannot.

A few years ago, GC meet up and the thread getting people together is out here somewhere.
I used to stay in Tyson's every week but no longer travel so much for work. ;-)

I can barely make it to my Kappa alum meetings, let alone Panhellenic ones. I do know they are very helpful for prospective college freshmen in search of recs. The NPC website has area coordinators listed by state who can put you in touch with the NoVA group.

I feel for your husband. Having to drive on 66 during rush hour is not fun.

I'm in Maryland, and I would LOVE to come to a get-together! The one we had in Pittsburgh way back when was a lot of fun and it would be nice to do something like that again

I wonder if there's any we could get Sheila, Dani and Cheyenne to come down??

TOTALLY... It'd be a Pittsburgh GC meet up here

I'd gladly open my house up for visitors!
Where are you in MD?

IUHoosiergirl88 · #15 02-05-2013, 08:43 PM

I'm in downtown Silver Spring!!...so barely MD. I skip out on the DC vehicle taxes
