I especially like the suggestion about studying abroad. When I was at PSU, it was sort of a "sorority secret" - the program wasn't well-publicized, and the sororities passed it down, with the older girls sharing their amazing experiences and encouraging the younger girls to apply. One of my friends spent a term at University of Edinburgh, and she was one of the few non-Greeks in the whole group.

And you're right that everyone will have an anecdote about overnight trips to go canning for Thon, or of actually dancing or doing Morale -- always a sure-fire conversation starter.

As for vacations, we might not go to the Outer Banks up here in Yankee country, but a lot of us have a good story from Avalon or Stone Harbor (hmmm, remembering my own Avalon days, maybe we're venturing into risk management territory there......)

Anyway, we're all waiting to hear how things are going -- Good luck, Petals!
Thank you so very much! Actually, a fellow alumna once told me that she just knew that she hated her legacy house because they all talked about going to trunk shows in Paris and Milan over the summer, and that was just not her thing! Since then, I've come to realize what a great tool that is.

And don't get me started about the Creamery! Two of my daddy's aunts were professors at PSU, so we were raised with the stuff. I'm just glad I was swimming at least a mile a day at the time, or I'd have NO arteries left!

Thanks for all of the help so far, I'll definitely run with it. Especially about THON-- didn't even think of that one (durrr...)! Recruitment starts on Sunday where we meet our Rho Chis and recruitment groups. AHH!

My DZ daughter at Alabama is being initiated today. She is tremendously excited! Let me say she is absolutely in love with the DZ chapter at Bama, her DZ sisters and Greek life in general.

God bless all you sorority sisters out there! And to all of those being initiated this Fall, I wish you the very best of luck!

Still hanging around.....BamaDad DZ

Good to see recruitment numbers are going up. Several of my friends (sk and various other glo's at psu) were thinking panhellenic is taking crazy pills by having recruitment so late. The new members didn't get to really take part in homecoming which is one of the MOST fun parts of greeklife.


oh well. . .good luck petals!!!! psu greeklife is great and you'll have fun no matter where you end up!

pm if you need to.
