Congrats! Kappa is our Sister Sorority! You will love being part of the house and you'll get the opportunity to meet some of my Theta sisters with the events they do with Kappa.

Take care!

Tell me the truth says she
What do you think is the best fraternity?

That's easy, Pat says he
Easy to see says he
Nobody's in it but K-K-G!

Oh-
Kappa Kappa Kappa Gamma
I'm so happy that I am a
Kappa Kappa Kappa Gamma
Nobody kno-ows hoooooowww
Happy I am!

I dearly love my Juliet and she loves me
I swear by all the stars above that she will be my only love
For she is one of KKG

Said Julius Caesar from the start I plainly see
That Cleo wears across her heart a golden key
This is no time for men to hedge
The girl was once a Kappa pledge
And now, she is a KKG!

WELCOME, SISTER!!

I know that imsohappythatiama is going to come on here and post something beautiful, the way she always does, so I thought I'd skip that and go straight to the serenade.

My chapter always did a ton of singing. Enjoy your new member experience, have a great time, and congratulations!!

Congrats Curly! The Kappas at my school are a very strong organization (they just won Greek Week) and I'm sure that you've found an equally great chapter. I wish you years of happy sisterhood

Congratulations!!!! I love a happy ending!

imsohappythatiama · #**146** 08-26-2002, 12:06 PM

Oh, how I love a happy ending...and how I love a happy KKG ending even more!

Curlygirl, you are at the start of an amazing, beautiful journey that you will never forget, and to which you will always be tied through the bonds of friendship, truth, and love.

Though you and I have never met, I believe there is a destiny that makes us sisters. As you begin your sisterhood in Kappa Kappa Gamma, always remember that "none of us goes her way alone; all that we send into the lives of others, comes back into our own."

And now I'll add my own serenade to KappaStarGirl's lovely voice:

You'll find as a Kappa,
You'll always recall
The laughter, the friendship,
the memories and all.
The blues that we cherish,
The owl so wise,
These are the symbols
that we will hold dear
All our lives.

I'll be your true friend
and I'll be your comrade
You'll know who I am
by the key that I wear.
I'll strive to be loyal,
I'll strive to be worthy
of all that we honor and share.

________________________________________

High on a hill
Where the fleur de lis grow
There is a golden key
on a house I love so!
How we ran, and we sang,
and we laughed on that hill!
And the memory of the the golden key
follows me still.
And the friendship of Kappa
wil live through the years,
through the sun of a young girl's smile
and the rain....of an old woman's tears.

I still see the pictures
that hung on the walls.
I still hear the echoes
of laughter in the halls.
My hair has grown grey,
and my eyes dimly see;
But the memory of the golden key
remains with me.
And the friendship of Kappa
wil live through the years,
through the sun of a young girl's smile
and the rain....of an old woman's tears.

WE WELCOME YOU, SISTER!!!!

Loyally,

imsohappythatiama

Dear CurlyGirly,

I went to Chicago to visit my Big Key Sister this weekend. I miss her so much now that she's out of school. We were eating chocolate chip cookies yesterday at the Watertower Mall and I'd drifted off into my thoughts, when she asked me what I was thinking about. I said, "I was just wondering how CurlyGirly's doing at UF and whether she preffed Kappa." She told me that I'm a dork (which I already knew) but that she wanted to know how it turned out. I'm very excited to email her and let her know that you are now our Sister!

Fill us in! I want to hear all about Pref and Bid Day! What was the ceremony? What did they wear? What did you eat? Tell us about the girl who preffed you. What sold you? How about Bid Day? How was the Norman Field experience? We have nothing like that at my school and I understand it can be intense. What activities did you do for Bid Day? How's your Key Sis and your Kore? What are they like? We want DETAILS! (Sorry, I'm addicted.)

Let me add my CONGRATULATIONS to those of everyone else. I almost started crying here at work when I first read your thread. Welcome to our beautiful sisterhood within the Kappa Garden. Kappa has been so wonderful to me through my past two years as an active, and I'm sure that she will continue to provide for me for the rest of my life. Like you, I was hesitant about joining a sorority, but I'm now convinced that it's the best decision I've ever made.

Like KappaStarGirl, I'm a musician, so allow me to continue the serenade. This is a song we sing to our New Members when they pledge.

Lovely Girl, she wears the Sky and Sea,
Treasured symbol of Fraternity.
O'er the door, the Fleur-de-lis,
Haunting strains of KKG
We'll sing to you our song of Blue & Blue;
Our hearts are yours in everything we do.
Come and we will show the world
Our Lovely Kappa Girl.

I love that one. When my sisters sang it to me at my pledging, I almost started crying. I thought, "Oh, they think I'm lovely! That's so sweet!" (In case you couldn't already tell, I'm a sucker for our songs and ritual. I think it's all so beautiful. I cry a lot.)

And here is a song that one of my chapter's charter members wrote for us when we were installed in 1981. It's called The Spirit of KKG, and it was offically adopted into the Fraternity Songbook at Convention in 1982. We affectionately call it Tirzah's Song for its composer, Tirzah Strom Peterson. It's come to mean a lot to me, and I'm sure it will mean a lot to you as you discover its deeper and deeper layers of significance as you grow within Kappa.

Kappa Kappa Gamma is not only a word to me,
Or just the Golden Key,
Or the Fleur-de-lis,
Or the Blue & Blue,
Or the Wise Old Owl.
It's the bondage of Sisterhood within Loyalty;
It's the Womanhood in Sincerity;
But mainly it's the Spirit of KKG.

I'm thrilled to have another Kappa woman in the GC community. You've made a wonderful choice, and we're very lucky to count you among our Kappa sisters. We'd love to see you 'round the Kappa forum, too. Keep us all posted about how life is. We're here for you.

Loyally Delsigmata,
Andrea
