We've been having Founders' Day with GWU, alternating hosting. We have a catered lunch/brunch where some collegiates from both chapters speak, and some area alumnae and advisors speak. Topics ranges from values, sisterhood, recruitment, accomplishments, pretty standard. And of course, we do a ceremony to remember the 5 founders.
Last year, we hosted it in College Park at the Union. The plan was that the Zetas would take the Metro to College Park. The in house sisters would meet the girls at the metro and walk all the way to the Union. Well, that's 2 miles. In heels and up some hills. Oh yeah, it POURED that day, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise since it scrapped the walking plan. Our VPAR just asked everyone with a car to drive to the Metro and pack as many Zetas in our cars as we could.
Random not important memories from last Founders' day:
1. The 3 girls I took in my car were all freshmen who were pledging. I remember just thinking, "Wow, freshmen in the fall, so weird!" (We haven't had a freshman pledge in the fall since 2004, and this year I think we have 4 freshmen out of 14 NMs)
2. It was the first time I had ever eaten grits, or for that matter, SEEN grits. They were very cheesy and delicious.
ETA: Founders' day in SoCal looks sweet.
