"Chicken Soup" for the Sorority/Fraternity Woman's soul? Imagine the impact a book like that could have on the future of Greek life!

Its funny, but my most touching story comes from the semester before I pledged. I went through the "rush" process for my sorority and during my interview, I revealed that my mom had just been diagnosed with cancer. Though I was a strong candidate, the ladies decided not to accept me for that semester's pledge class because of what I was going through with my family. But over the course of the semester, I went from wanting to be a member, to knowing that I HAD to become a member, because without the way that the sisters rallied around me and supported me all through that hardest time, I would never have made it.

another one...
this past wednesday night, i was in a car crash. the people who hit me (yes, it was their fault) were completely oblivious and didn't even come to the car to see if i was alive. they were completely unharmed but unfortunately i sustained severe injurues including a fractured ankle, a shattered anke, and a completely destroyed kneecap. i called my fiance from the hospital and he called the president of my chapter, who is also my line sister, and within hours, there were tons of e-mails, visits, and flowers from all over the states. some of my line sisters even drove in from all over Louisiana to come to the hospital. one of the girls kept a live update through e-mail so that all my sisters could keep informed. the outpouring of love and support, especially from sisters i've never even met before really got me through the emotional trauma better than most patients would. I LOVE MY SISTERS!!!!!!!

i just got my wisdom teeth out on friday and was TERRIFIED...when i came home and was snuggled in bed, not only did i have 15 voicemails waiting for me (and my surgery was at 8am, so that means my sisters had more than likely woken up just to leave me a voicemail), but within the hour i had three sisters knocking on my door, feeding me jello and watching movies with me all day...
not much, but it sure means a lot to a girl like me!

Ilaria -WOW - glad you are alright (well, other than the busted kneecap and ankles!) and your sisters are there for you. Get well soon!
Alrphimu - the whole wisdom tooth thing is no fun - hope you recover quickly!
