I remember being very little (maybe kindergarten age) and my grandmother explaining to me about the group the letters on an piece of mail she received. She was invited to Initiation and Feast of Roses at the nearby Alpha Gam chapter and told me about her college friends and how she had friends from her college, and friends from other colleges to. I thought (and still do) that having friends all over was a wonderful idea, and I was sold right then and there. I always knew I would go to college and joining a sorority was part of that. I was involved in Girl Scouts and thought the whole concept of friends forever and everywhere you shared something special with was the only way to go.
Also the constant readings of Beatrix Potters' Squirrel Nutkin books at bedtime didn't hurt either. I feel very blessed to have ended up my grandmother's sister even though she wasn't alive to share it all with me.
