Last summer I was a Gamma Chi (Greek Counselor) at the University of North Alabama. My "buddy" and I exchanged jerzees to do our reveal, but later changed our minds. The whole Recruitment team decided to put our respective sorority's Bid day tee on under the recruitment week tee, and reveal that way. After being tackled by my roommate, who I had not been able to talk to in a month (we couldn't talk to, or see our sisters after a certain date due to silence restrictions), and a whole buch of other sisters who were crying as much as I was, I was back. It felt so good that day!!!!
But the friends I made during my summer from other sororities are wonderful. That summer was full of memories and fun. We even all went on a teamwork building ropes course trip, and later came up with nicknames for everyone. We had shirts made with the Gamma Chi letters on the front, and our nickname on the back (like our own jersey, since we couldn't wear our letters all summer either!), and to this day, no one knows the meaning behind my nickname. That was part of the rules of last summer----what happens with the Gamma Chi's, stays with the Gamma Chi's. A wonderful experience!!!
