I have an Initiation Date!!!

Okay, I'm a little excited, but I've wanted this more than anything I've wanted in a LONG time! My initiation date is March 29, and I think it's the same day as Midwesterngirl's initiation!

Go me! Go Alpha Phi!

Theta Zeta's initation is also March 29. I can't wait because I'm very good friends with 3 of our new members.

Congratulations to both Sistermadly and Midwesterngirl. I am so excited for both of you!!!

I was initiated on February 12, 1993, and it is really starting to make me feel old that the 10 year anniversary is coming up.

AGH!

Hey Lauradav...even though I am older you were initiated first1!!

[bruinaphi]

The funniest part is that I was the last class with a 5 month pledge period. I pledged on September 26, 1992, and wasn't initiated until February. We took a Winter pledge class that year and they were initiated one month after us. It seemed so unfair at the time, but now as an advisor I can't imagine doing COB with long pledge periods.

Congratulations Sistermadly!!! I am so thrilled that you are about to become my sister! I will wear my badge on your initiation day so that I can remember how, even though we are miles and miles apart, we will still share the bonds of Alpha Phi. I just think that is the coolest thing!

I can't remember if we talked about this or not, but do you have your outfit picked out yet?

[Sistermadly]

I had my sister send a suit that I can wear for initiation. It's too big (just like all of my clothes these days) but it'll have to do!

Thanks for all the support.. I think I'm going to be overwhelmed with emotion on that day by just knowing I'm a part of such an amazing sisterhood. *sniffle*

I was soooo overwhelemed with emotion when i went thru initation. I was sniffling too. Valkyrie( Tracy) has a good idea when you get initated she is going to wear her badge and i think i will too Us alpha lambda's need to stick together!

White is one color that cannot be found anywhere these days! i went to ten million stores til i hit a Ross and i found a white dress shoved way deep in a clearance rack and grabbed it.

All i have to say is when you go thru try to remember EVERYTHING!!!!!!!! it goes by soo quickly. and another piece of advice wear COMFY SHOES!!!!!!!!!!! my feet were sooooo sore by the time i got home i was crawling to my front door hehehe

Good luck and i cannot wait to call you my new sister! yoru coming into a great family..... look at all of us! hehehehe

Wow... I feel like an OLD lady now! I was initiated on November 18, 1989!!!! Sometimes it feels like a million years ago, and other times, it's just like yesterday.

Initiation is such a special day and I try not to miss them if I can avoid it, and since I've been so involved in your 'pledge-ship' I am going to be even more emotional than I usually am SisterMadly.

I am so glad that you are joining us and cannot wait to share with you the secrets of our sisterhood. There's so much to share!!

See you Monday! It is no longer Black Tuesday, it's Black MONDAYS! (Inside joke!)

[Sistermadly]

Hee! I'm going to tie a black armband around a muffin and bring it to you tomorrow.

And Yogi, you've been the best sister I could ever have hoped for. It's because of you that this period has been so special to me. *sniffles*
