I know that Siobhan and Jill expresed an interest in "One Voice." Unfortunately, I don't have a copy of the speech, but the search is on! I sent out an e-mail to my chapter, and I hope to hear from them soon. As soon as I hear anything, I will pass it along via e-mail. I know that rush is coming up soon so I'll outline what you need:
1.Candles- as stated earlier, we used battery operated candles since the campus didn't want us to drip wax on the floor and carpets. I recently saw purple wax candles which were very pretty.
2. A copy of Barry Manilow's song "One Voice" and something on which to play it. I know it sounds obvious, but we would always forget things.
3. A bowl with water or something that you could use as a "wishing well" and enough "pearls" or little white beads for all the rushees and their Delta Diamonds.
4. A lovely purple iris is a nice gift for the rushees, but it can get very expensive so it's not necessary.
Now all you need is the speech. From what I can recall, our chapter President, VP, and Rush Chair would read, but I think that your chapter can decide this for itself. We usually wore dresses for this ceremony.
Heather, how is your search for "One Voice" going? I hope that you do it at your colony. It's so nice. I think that they will love it.
Good luck to everyone going through rush! Keep building those bonds of sisterhood!
