I actually wanted to "add on" to the story but it took me a half an hour to find the thread. So take a break from the computer. Come back and read the thread over again and type something.

"Daddy, I know it's a special honor...I'm just beginning to find out," Cassie said as she smiled at Spencer.

"We'll have to start finding a dress for you as well," interjected her mother. "Do you think you can come home next weekend?"

"I'm not sure..I don't think so...we have initiation activities coming up.." thought Cassie. "Let me call you later once I'm back at the house."

"Well, darling, I'm really proud of you.." her father's voice rumbled pleasantly. " We'll be there, you can count on it. Go on now, I'm sure you and your friend have plans. We'll talk to you later, honey."

Spencer grinned at Cassie as she turned off her cell phone.." See, that wasn't so hard, was it?"

"Not if the president of the fraternity is inviting you..." she laughed. " I think you've made a definite impression on Daddy."

" I trust he's not the only one" murmured Spencer as he grasped Cassie's hand in his own. " Hey...I need to get going..I've got to meet MG back at the house. I'll talk to you later, hmm?" He still held her hand as they walked by Smith Hall, and then opened the door for her at the entrance of Wymer Hall, where Cassie had class.

"Thanks for walking me. I'll talk to you later.." she smiled at him as she headed to class.

The next hour and a half was filled with a lecture on the basics of structural design. Cassie's hand hurt by the end of class from the writing. At the end of class, as she gathered her books up, Dr. Richmond asked her to stay after a moment. Cassie thought back to the quiz last week, and groaned inwardly, hoping it wasn't a bomb.

"Miss MacKay, thank you for staying a moment. I just wanted to.."

" I know all about that quiz...I'm so sorry..I've had so much going on, but I promise I'll do better.."she faltered.

"...congratulate you for being chosen White Rose. I'm a Sigma Xi brother, and I serve as advisor for the chapter here."

"Oh....well, thank you," Cassie smiled. "It's an honor to have been selected to represent the gentlemen of Sigma Xi."

Dr. Richmond replied, "Well, I look forward to having such a well-rounded and excellent student as the White Rose this year...the White Roses in years to come will have very large shoes to fill."

Cassie blushed. "Again, I apologize about that quiz..."

Dr. Richmond interrupted, "Cassie, don't be so hard on yourself. You did spectacularly on the quiz, and have nothing to worry about."

Cassie relaxed. "Thanks, Dr. Richmond. I'll see you on Thursday!"

Cassie made her way out of Wymer Hall, and as she was walking back to the house, she ran into.....

...Jill, a member of ADPi's biggest rival on campus, Mu Alpha Tau. While the two sororities were big rivals, Jill and Cassie got along extremely well - they thought they might even try living together next year, but that was sometime in the future.

"Hey, Cassie," Jill greeted. "How's your day going?"

"Pretty well," Cassie replied. "I have nothing to complain about."

"What's that smile sliding on your face about?" Jill queried.

"Well...things are just seeming to go really well right now."

"Does that have something to do with a certain Sigma Xi that many of the girls on campus are enamored with?" Jill teased.

"Maybe," Cassie grinned. "Hey, how is your boyfriend doing? Has he come to visit recently?"

Jill's boyfriend went to school in South Carolina; the two tried to get together as often as they could, but with the new member activities for Jill's sorority and the distrance between the schools, they sometimes went a few weeks without seeing each other.

"He actually is coming up this weekend for our formal," Jill explained. "I can't wait to show him off further to my sisters."

As the two neared the ADPi house, Jill looked up and spotted....

...what looked like the cast from the Rocky Horror Picture Show! And who was dressed as Magenta, but....

Cassie's little sister. "Cassie," she shrieked. " Hurry up! Did you forget?"

"umm...what are you talking about?" queried Cassie, as she looked at the strange characters walking in front of the house.

"Don't you remember...we have that pledge swap with Beta Theta Pi?"

[polarpi]

"Shoot - that's right! Jill, I'll catch you later, okay?"

Cassie frantically raced into the house and up the stairs to throw her stuff on her bed and change her clothes, and then she ran back down the stairs to meet up with the rest of her Alpha class.

"All right, girls, let's get this show on the road!" Cassie exclaimed.

The group of girls walked down the road to the Beta house, where they were escorted in by...
