Bump? I don't have a story to tell but I love my sisters and I'd love to hear some other people's stories so I can get my feel-good moment of the day.

well this story is only a little one, but i have been thinking about it all day and then i randomly ran across this thread so i thought i would share it. i must warn you it is a little gross. once we were having a retreat and michelle had a runny nose, and there not a tissue in sight. catalina didn't hessitate for one second to pull out her sleeve so michelle could blow her nose. i just don't know any gdis that have that kind of dedication to their friends!

I have one! It was the day after bid day, so keep in mind that I barely knew any of these girls -the only person I really knew much about was my friend who I had english class with. A pledge sister of mine along with three other actives and I had gone to one of their friend's houses for a party. My pledge sister and I were sitting together in a big armchair talking, just sorta getting to know each other (the one sister who I knew well knew her well through a mutual friend and had claimed we were "gonna be best friends...seriously" -we were trying to see if that was the case)
So anyway, we're sitting there, the sisters are off talking to other people and my pledge sister starts telling me about why she rushed and I can't believe it...she's telling my story exactly. She's talking about wanting to find the type of girls who were down for anything, whether it's sitting around in PJs watching TV or heading out on a road trip in the middle of the night just because, about wanting to find her place in a school that's pretty daunting, and how she thought seriously about transferring until this wonderful, amazing group of girls came along. She even felt held back because of a long-distance boyfriend just like I did! All of a sudden I was in tears -I hadn't been so happy in such a long time. Of course we're still in a room full of people so I'm bawling for no apparent reason with all of these people I don't know and I'm starting to feel like a complete idiot when she leaned over and hugged me. All of a sudden the three other sisters who were there appeared and were hugging the two of us too. One big Kappa Delta group hug in the middle of a party! One of their guy friends came over and asked what was going on (rather loudly) and my sister picked up her head, gave him a rather withering look and said "It's a sister thing...you wouldn't get it." and put her head back down. I have never felt more safe or loved in my whole life.
Cut to the end of the semester, I'm great friends with all of the girls who were there that night, the girl from my pledge class is indeed my best friend at school and the girl who made the defending comment is my roommate for next semester!
Love these girls more than life -truly an AOT moment!

I think this is a great story about West Virginia's Greek community.
Several years ago during our chapter meeting our President announced that a fraternity member's father had died from cancer. The family wanted his ashes to be scattered over Vietnam (they're Vietnamese) but couldn't afford it. Our president asked to each to throw in a couple bucks, which isn't a bad amount of money for a chapter with 90 girls.
Not sure how much money was raised, but I know the family was able to scatter the father's ashes over Vietnam. And that fraternity member is now a close friend of mine and was also president of his fraternity his senior year.

I have a great story to share from March of this year. It was a Saturday night and my sorority was holding our annual (which we were mandated to do by our school even though its not really okay with our national headquarters). An annual is basically an on-campus, DRY, themed party that every organization holds to raise money for one cause or another. Anyway, I wasn't there bc of family stuff and so I didn't hear all this until I returned to school. Two of my sisters were in a very bad car accident driving from their house to campus for the annual. The driver basically lost control of her SUV and it went directly into a tree. A brother of SAE drove by the scene of the accident and saw a Phi Sig bumper sticker on her car and immediately knew who it was. He called one of our sisters at the party and immediately five sisters left the party and went to the hospital (only five bc we some of us had to wait until the party was over). They waited in the ER by the sides of our two injured sisters' beds and provided as much information to the doctors as they could. They also called their families.

The girls were separated into two rooms and, upon visiting, my entire chapter kept harrassing doctors, nurses, orderlies, WHOEVER to get them in the same room. Eventually they did move them together. There wasn't a blank space on their walls. There were cards, flowers, candy, signs, PHI SIG, EVERYWHERE and there was a constant flow of visitors coming in and out of their rooms...not only our sorority. But many members of other organizations on our campus visited them and brought them gifts. It was so touching when people I hardly knew on campus in other orgs came up to me and asked "How are your sisters? Let us know if you or they need anything". It was truly amazing and touching to see the outpour of love that came from other orgs and from within our own chapter.

We also helped out their parents/families whenever they needed it. If they needed a break to rest, clean, eat we'd stick with Hanna and Lara (the two injured). I, as well as many of my sisters, visited them everyday. I helped wash Lara's hair once or twice and I helped her brush her teeth often when I was there. Even though her hip was dislocated, she wouldn't give up good hygeine haha.

Anyway, thats my story. Sorry its kinda long but I think its a great story of sisterhood and love.

the thing that makes me really sad about this thread is how come stories like this don't make into the media, in books like pledged and the new show greek? these are all really great stories! i wish there was a way to share these in the media.
