I love stories that end in Alpha Chi Omega! Sounds like you had a great recruitment, sister!

First, congrats on getting your first choice - AChiO! And you told your story very well.
Second, ZTA is big in the south (has the most chapters in SC out of all the NPC orgs) but not as big as others in other regions, so I'm not surprised if she hadn't heard of it if your school isn't in the south like where the rest of your family went (and I know firsthand how you can't hide Zeta pride) BUT, I remember looking up the NPC website as a NM and finding out about the other orgs we didn't have at my school. I wanted to know all about sorority life, not just my specific org! So really, asking if it's a real sorority is just, well, ignorant.
Congrats again, and thanks for feeding the GC love of recruitment stories until we get our fix next month when spring recruitment begins! And thanks for not trying to do it in real time - we appreciate it

Aww congrats!
What chapter is Lights?
As much as it irks me now, there were probably a few groups in college that I wouldn't have recognized as NPC. I know in the last few years Theta Phi has revamped its new member program to include more info about all the NPCs.
As a slight hijack, my boyfriend went to college in the south and he was shocked that my school didn't have Chi Omega. He said, "I thought every school has Chi O!"

With how large Chi-O is nationally, you'd think every school that had NPC groups would have them, lol. So, Stocking was Chi-O? I gotta say, I'm a little surprised cuz Chi-O at my school was full of great rushers and were known as the loudest cheerers during FR.

Hahaha we don't even have a Chi O chapter in the entire state of Maryland. Go figure.

Congratulations on AXO!!!
Your story reminded me of this past year - there was a girl who rushed at my school who was a 32 time legacy to one of the chapters on campus!

Did she make it 33?
ETA: Those 32 couldn't all be "legacies" by the strictest definition (unless she has a lot of sisters) since most orgs don't count great-aunts, aunts, cousins, etc. but 32 members of one GLO in one family, that's nuts in an awesome way!

I'm sure a lot of them were "indirect legacies" as well but her legacy chapter (at least on our campus) considers sisters, moms, grandmothers, great-grandmothers, half sisters, step sisters, and adopted relatives legacies (some others ONLY consider moms and sisters).
She, in fact, did NOT make it 33. Her legacy chapter actually sent out a letter to the other chapters on campus asking them to "leave her alone" during recruitment. Oddly enough, she joined the chapter that turned it in!

No one should take offense at your personal impressions. AOII was not for you...that's okay! I appreciate your comment, "These girls are trying really hard and I really respect them for it, but I just can not see myself in this house. " You can't just want to hear the recruitment stories that have other organizations as the weak chapters...all of us have chapters that are struggling. Hopefully they'll be able to improve their status since they are working so hard.
