I hesitate to call this a retro story because I don't want to feel old yet :)

My room never got a call so my roommate and I both had received bids. We changed into comfortable jeans and tee-shirts (like our Rho Gammas had instructed us to do) and headed-over to the student center. Our Rho Gammas did their reveal and mine was a Trouble, which explained how she knew I was a legacy. Then she handed us our envelopes and counted to three before we could all open them.

CANDY LAND!!!

Basically the whole group began jumping-up and down simultaneously. And we all ran outside and boarded our appropriate bus that lead us to the field house, with the now affiliated Rho Gammas leading us all in Candy Land cheers for the whole ride. Inside the field house, each group was met by all the actives with large wooden letters and bags filled with Candy Land goodies as well as our bid day shirts. After pictures, we were led back to the bus and taken to the house for more bid day festivities. Looking back, it was defiantly one of the best days of my life to date, especially since my roommate did not get a bid to Candy Land. This was a start towards a great 4 years.

The reveal and a "where are they now" will come tomorrow. It's my baby sister's last night home before heading back to school from spring break, so my mother, grandmother, and I are taking her out to celebrate her bid Little does she know, she's about to be bombarded with more sorority gifts!

And here I was thinking you both ended up pledging the same house and becoming BFFs after all.

Why are there three girls having an argument about who is fake? Why would anyone get into a fight because they believe someone is fake? Just don't talk to each other!

Ummm...wrong thread?

I saw the post, and I was wondering if that was what you were talking about!!

[Pirouette]

The next installment is coming soon!

And Twinkle555- My baby sister is now a new ALPHA DELTA PI! She's loving her time as a new member right now and is very excited to get back to school and see all her sisters again.

Where are they now???

Audrey also received a bid to Candy Land. She actually suicided Candy Land because she never felt very strongly towards Pretty, Pretty Princess and the girl who prefed her was someone she’d never met. Second semester, we became suite-mates and then became roommates and lived in the house for two years before renting an apartment with a few of our fellow sisters senior year. She lives two hours away now but we still e-mail and talk on the phone daily.


Katherine became Audrey’s big sister in the sorority. She and I were never best friends, but occasionally I’ll get an e-mail from her. She moved across the country after graduation so she isn’t very active with our chapter. Apparently she and Audrey are still tight though.


Grace became my big sister in the sorority. She also became one of my close friends at the school and later introduced me to the man who is now my fiancé. I see her every year at homecoming and a few other random times throughout the year. Years later, she still introduces me to everyone as her little sister.


My roommate got a bid to Pretty, Pretty Princess. She and her boyfriend broke-up sometime during second semester, but not before her new roommate moved out because the girl couldn’t live with her either. We don’t talk, but from what I hear, she’s doing well and now married.


Ingrid and I ended-up being casted in one of the same pieces in our school’s winter dance show that year. Our connection was still there and we became good friends and we’re still close (in fact, she’s going to be in my wedding this summer). She lives one town over from me now so we met-up often.


Elizabeth and I occasionally crossed paths during college but we never became really close. However, when I did my student teaching senior year, it was at the school where she taught. She was always very friendly and made me feel welcome at the school. She got married right after graduation and is now pregnant with her own Trouble legacy.

The Candy Land colors I thought were ugly on the first day of recruitment are now my favorite colors and the colors for my wedding.

So who is Candy Land?
