Pregnant and in a sorority

[SthrnZeta]

Maybe her fiance told her it was 3 carats and she doesn't know better...? J told me I had a total carat weight of 1.25 and then told me that the center stone was 0.75 and the side stones were 0.3 each, then the stones in the band equaled 0.25. Doesn't add up does it? Luckily, I knew better and called him on it - he didn't even know what he bought! He thought it was a platinum band until I looked at the receipt and saw 18 kt white gold! Poor guy, LOL. At least he bought with his heart. So, that may be the case...?

I would think a woman would know what 3 carats look like... But I guess it could be a 3-stone that's 1 TCW, and that's where she got 3 carats from.

I would think so too, but perhaps not if she's never worn a lot of jewelry. I mean, she's girly enough to be in a sorority at least so I dunno... Just trying to give her the benefit of the doubt, especially since she's a sister and all But I sure as hell would know a 3 carat vs a 1 carat diamond! But then again I just received an enagment ring and I've been eyeing diamonds for a bit... If it really is 3 carats, I wanna see a pic - not because I don't believe her, but because I bet that ring is gorgeous and I just wanna see it

just for the record, you can take early alumna status and NOT be involved at all with the sorority, ever, if you so choose. you don't have to pay dues unless you join an alumnae chapter or join that new program zta has just started for sisters who do not live in an area where an alumnae chapter exists-cyber zeta.

i did not become involved with an alumnae chapter until a good 10 years after college. then i was glad that i had the option. i had just married and moved far away from home. except for my husbands family, i knew absolutely noone in my new town. i started attending alumnae meetings, was invited to become an advisor at a nearby college chapter and served as an alumnae officer. now i am back in florida, but some of my closest friends here are sisters i never would have met without zeta.

we never know where life will take us-it's nice to have as many options open to ease any transition we may go thru. please rethink your decision.

You never know when you'll want or even need your sisterhood. Please reconsider, and take alumnae status.

As for the three carats - it could be an heirloom. My roomie had a huge rock, but it was her fiance's grandmother's.

Well, there was no discussion of maternity pantyhose with sequins up the back . . . .
