OK. Today is a boring, cloudy day. Someone, help me perk up!!!

Tell me your favorite thing about DZ/favorite DZ memory.

Here's one of mine:
When I was a junior, we had a Chapter Consultant come visit, and she told us that the chapter she visited just before us had taken her to the Cher concert. Well, we couldn't be outdone, so a group of about 10 of us got together & dragged her to Six Flags over Texas (a 1.5 hour trip...). We had the best time--we all wore letters, rode all the rides, and somehow got through the day without ANY drama! The best part was the end of the day when we had a picnic in the middle of the 6 Flags parking lot. Just being together, telling stories & laughing was the absolute best time!!!

That was when I decided I wanted to be a chapter consultant....

My favorite DZ memory is Initiation Night, but not really for obvious reasons. I remember sitting with my pledge class in the living room waiting for the New Member Educator to come get us, and we were all nervous as could be. We were trying to figure out how "bad" it was going to be

, and one of my pledge sisters kept scaring everyone with these awful rumors about other sororities' supposed initiations...she really freaked us out! It was a really good "bonding experience" *cue the sappy music*, though. Then, after it was over, my Big took me out with a group of her own pledge sisters and their Littles, and we all had a blast. Man...those were the days.

My favorite memories are of a bunch of us who lived in the suite sitting around this little alcove in the main hallway late at night eating that awful macaroni and cheese that you make with the orange powder and talking about anything and everything.

It was all about just sitting around with sweats and no make up with your best friends being yourself. That's one of the best feelings in the world!

I have so many favorite memories. One is definitly my Initiation day, because my whole chapter, all 50 of is got Initiatiated on the same day because we were a colony, and we had the late Karen Veitch with us and she was amazing, she gave us all engraved pin boxes. Another was a random night in a sisters apartment with about 15 of us before we were installed just talking about all of the amazing memories over the past year we had been a colony, it was definitly a night for tears...makes me miss my new member pin, i wore is for a year......yay colonys

When I was a pledge (new member, what's PC these days?), we were required to do a fundraising event. The standard fundraiser at the time for all sororities on campus was a bake sale. My pledge class decided that bake sales were boring, and that we needed to do something new and innovative.

One of my pledge sisters had an aunt named Gladys that worked at a factory that was about two blocks away from school. The factory made relishes and condiments. Apparently my pledge sister discussed our quandry with Aunt Gladys, who suggested that we sell pickles to raise funds. Aunt Gladys helped us arrange the purchase of 100 pounds of premium kosher dills at a very fair price. We ponied up the seed cash, and went to pick up the stuff. Nobody told us that they also made horseradish at this particular facility. On our way thru the plant to pick up the pickles, we had to go thru the horseradish section, and almost died from the fumes.

Having survived the horseradish trial, we set up a table in the student union with big pickle posters, vats of brined cukes, and lots of baggies. We sold out in about 2 hours. The frats had a field day buying pickles from the Delta Zeta pledges, and making lots of very impolite references about our product.

Hey, it was the '70's...it seemed funny at the time. (And, to me, it still is!) We had a ton of fun, made a lot of money, and were the talk of the campus...

Whenever I get together with my pledge sisters, now some 30 years later, we still just disolve with uncontrollable giggles when we speak of the Great DZ Pickle Caper of 1973!
