The long-winded version of my story can be found here, but long story short:

I went through recruitment as a freshman, but signed "no pref" due to financial reasons. Between then and my sophomore year, I decided that I still wanted to be Greek, and I saved up some money from my summer job. I went through recruitment again, and received my first choice, AOII! Our chapter has struggled a bit, but we brought in seven new members through FMR (including myself) and we just had an informal bid signed yesterday


As a new member, I'm not yet super familiar with AOII. For the actives and alumnae, what do you remember most about your new member period? For example, was there a part of NME that really "clicked" with you, or was there something you and your new member/pledge class did together that was particularly memorable?

I just sent you a PM

I was a "pledge" back during the days of semester-long pledging and initiation in January, so read this knowing this was normal back in those days. We did a pledge walkout to our Kappa Omega chapter at the University of Kentucky, and those of you who know me KNOW how much I enjoyed that! I loved going to Lexington with my sisters, and meeting more sisters. It was such fun, especially for us since at that time we were not housed. It's wonderful to see that bigger picture of AOII as a newer member, and to get the idea that we're so much more than one chapter or one school.

I currently work with our New Member Advisers and New Member Educators as part of my volunteer position and love it. There are no words for how much I adore "The Promise" and think it's a great way to introduce our sisterhood to AOII. I go back from time to time and look at my old "pledgebook", and I imagine our sisters will do the same in the future with "The Promise".


Question (for the game): Which living AOII do you want to meet one day, and why?

I can just imagine you walking to UK!

I think I've met every prominent AOII out there, so I'll leave your question for someone else.
