Local Panhellenic's
Hi All,
Back in 2000, as a way of strengthening our local Panhellenic, a group of we "Carol's" got together for a Christmas Tea. We had six Carol's, one Caroline, one Carolyn, and one Carolyn "Susie". Collectively the nine of us represented five sororities.
We printed 300 invitations worded:
Here We Come
A-Carol-ing
From
Two to Four-Thirty ...
Please Be Sure
To Join Us
At
Our Christmas Tea!
Sunday
December 10, 2000
303 Claremont Drive*
This first party happened at my* house. We thought it a hoot that there were so many women named Carol in the same small town who knew each other and belonged to the same country club.
Carol Clokey West (Alabama, KKG) made us sit down as the last person left to "remember" who had shown, who had regretted, and who had blown us off. By our count, 162 women (including us) had donned their Christmas sweaters, velvet, or pearls, while parking as far away as three blocks, and had joined us for the afternoon.
With the change from rush to recruitment, and with the financial obligation "potential new members" incur, I would encourage every Panhellenic sister to bond with whoever is local to keep the Greek spirit alive.
Loyally,
Carol Livingston
E Phi, KKG
