I'm so glad to see so many people like the giraffe! I must admit, I wasn't sold on it at first, but it is unique.

A couple of eensy corrections here:

Actually, AEPhi's only flower is the lily of the valley. Alpha Phi uses both lily of the valley and forget-me-not.

I think you mean Alpha Epsilon Phi - AEPi supports a number of philanthropies, but pediatric AIDS (Elizabeth Glaser Foundation) is not among them. Interestingly, Sharsheret is. (Sharsheret supports young Jewish women with breast cancer. It was not one of our philanthropies when I was an active, probably because it hadn't been formed yet. )

So, since I've nitpicked, now I have to play ... but I'm running out the door for dinner ... so, later
