We had a pretty busy weekend. We are here in Indianapolis, so the wonderful ladies at HQ were there for everything. Some of our guests from Nationals/HQ included Lori Scott, Stacy Johnson, Christy Adams, Louis Morales, Jeet Sausen, and Sarah Zimmerschied (our AMAZING Leadership Consultant).
On Friday night, we had a reception with parents, significant others, and Nationals. The event was kind of an introduction to the whole weekend, mostly for the parents. After that, we had a sort of sisterhood event that the ladies from HQ attended. I'm not sure what was originally planned, but we ended up playing a lot of games, dancing, and then playing a huge game of two truths and a lie.
We had to be up at the crack of dawn for initiation at 8am on Saturday, and everything that includes lasted until 10 or 11am, I'm not really sure since we didnt have anything to tell time with on-hand. Afterward, we had an ASA-only White Luncheon. We received amazing gifts from all over the country, including two great books about ASA (a pair for each member) from the Foundation. Probably my favorite gift was the Phoenix pins we all received for being Chatering Sisters; very few people have them (and its the only pin we have since our "official" pins arent in yet, we had loaners all weekend). All of this lasted until probably 2pm.
We had to be back on campus for our formal Initiation Banquet at 6pm. We had dinner, a few speeches, and the presentation of the charter. It was amazing receiving our charter and seeing 2 years of hard work pay off.
To be honest, it is all a crazy, wonderful blur so if you have any specific questions, feel free to ask because I'm sure I left something out!
