Retro on the Rocks with a Twist?

That's an interesting question...I hadn't even picked up on that.

Generally (and I mean that generally for most NPCs on all campuses - I have absolutely no knowledge of that chapter at Maryland and am not trying to talk about them specifically at all), when a very strong chapter closes I'd assume it was for a risk management issue. (Again, not saying that was the case for KKG at MD...just going off a tangent about what I personally would assume if I heard that an "elite" chapter of XYZ was closed on some campus.)

I have to agree with everyone else on this. While I have loved reading all the retro threads, this one takes the cake. I never saw any of those twists coming. You found your home in Kappa Delta and it became a great decision for you! Your thread gives me hope lol

Leslie and I have talked about this at length, many times over and she knows how sincerely I mean when I say:

Its not what you become, but what you've always been

I applaud my very good friend for being the very strong person that she is to go through all this joy and heartache to finally find her home. Not to take anything away from the wonderful sisterhood of Delta Gamma, but if you've met Leslie in person to me she embodies what Kappa Delta stands for!

I am very proud to call her my Farmville Four sister!

That was so fantastic and entertaining! You write really well. I just read all of that in one sitting. I want to go back and read the comments, I completely skipped them - I was dying to find out what happened!

that was a heart-wrenching, heart-warming, making me feel teary-eyed rush thread. it was bad enough to read that, despite knowing there was a happy ending at the end of the road, so i don't even want to think about what going through it was like for you.

you are a phenomenal storyteller and the pictures are absolutely WONDERFUL. that was the best rush thread ever, it's gonna take a lot to top this one

as someone else said earlier, regardless of what some GCers say about these threads, you just can't make stuff like this up! i've never seen so many things that could throw you for a loop in any of the present day rush threads (not just your thread, it seems that many of you ladies writing threads had curveballs)

congratulations on finding your long-awaited and deserved home

Leslie! I absolutely LOVED reading about your experience and I am so glad you had a happy ending. I would say I am sorry you had so many difficulties finding your home, but God has a funny way of making things work out the way they were supposed to.

Although, I do hope that the personal issues you mentioned did resolve themselves and that things are ok now.
