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!

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!

1. Belated congrats on Theta.
2. AEPhi also forbids anyone who is not an initiated sister from wearing the Greek letters. New members can wear things that say "Alpha Epsilon Phi" or "AEPhi", but not "AEΦ".
3. Back in the day, we also did candle passes, with actual candles. We had a candle pass when I got engaged, and I had to explain carefully to a few people that I was engaged and not pregnant.  And speaking of candles, every year, the Greek Advisor would give us a lecture about how we weren't allowed to use candles during pref because they are a fire hazard... and every year, every sorority used them anyway.

Okay, what school is FGCU? I can't figure out the acronym!
You should definitely go; new chapters are so much fun!
As for a meetup, I'd actually be more in favor of meeting for a meal or something. It would probably be easier to schedule, since it's not confined to weekends.
I'm also not that much of a fan of football, and a glassy eyed and confused sherbertlemons isn't much fun!
