Faith4Keep's Retro Recruitment!

[alum]

US actives would type up a sign and put it on the bulletin board that there would be a candlelight after the weekly meeting. Once around for lavaliere, twice for pin, 3x for engaged. Ususally at homecoming there would be a apecial candlelight session. I remember the candle went around 4 and 5 times for marriage and expecting baby announcements due to returning alumnae.

This may be more particular to coming from a large chapter, but it always felt like we had 1-3 candlelightings after every single meeting! I often wondered how that many women could be getting engaged and lavaliered every week!!!

I remember feeling like that, too. There were definitely some months when we had a candlelight after every single chapter meeting!

...still waiting for mine...

We actually had alumnae that would come back to our chapter years later to celebrate a candlelighting because of an engagement. I always thought that was a bit nuts, but as I'm getting older... I totally get it. haha

I can totally understand that! :-)

What was fun would be when you would come back from summer break and there might be like 4 or 5. Everybody's like we have to do this AGAIN?

Ahh, the many joys of huge chapters.

Just because the UCF people are still reading this thread, is anyone planning to go to a game this season in the brand-new on-campus football stadium?

Now that I am back in Florida, I definitely plan on it! We should have a UCF GC gathering -- there are enough of us on here!

That would be fun.

We should totally do that! I am purchasing student season passes- good luck getting tickets! We can definitely get together to tailgate if nothing else.

MOOOOSSTTTT Definitely!!! I have to get on it with tickets and what not (goodness UCF alumni things to do heh). However; I think that some Chi O alums are going to help out with the Prefs to the new chapter down at FGCU. I know the chapter is going down there to do it for them (How special is that?); but not sure about alums. I was told a few of us would - ie the ones that sung all the songs haha.

But even a dinner would be awesome to do!!

And Faith4Keep -- sorry about your feelings toward our chapter. I pinpointed most chapters out from the beginning! And definitely Sarah- there are only a few engineering females in Greek life.

For some reason I thought you were Stina (Christina). So beginning your thread I was stumped because I was like Stina went through in '03 with me -- and it didn't make sense.

Anyway- congrats on a great thread and finding your home!! And NM of the year!
