Blessed
I am blessed with two beautiful Alpha Xi Delta legacies. My four year old is on her way (this weekend) to her third National Convention... although she is much more interested in the second half of our trip which is to "Mickey's House". My husband wants to know when we are going to finally just initiate her.
My sixteen-month-old has been lulled to sleep by a number of Alpha Xi Delta songs. My husband just laughs. I think secretly he really wants to sing the Theta Xi Sweetheart song to her.
I would like to think that my daughters will put "Alpha Xi Delta" in her list of things to consider when looking at schools but I don't want that to be a major reason for picking the school that she attends.
At four years of age, she always says, "I want to be in your Alpha Xi Delta Club". But she also wants to be a cheerleader and a dance teacher when she grows up. A lot will change in the next fourteen years - we'll see where she winds up.
As a side note: I often worry whether or not my involvement may have a negative impact on her decision to join Alpha Xi Delta. I am quite active and I am always mindful of her perceptions. At age 4, she just wants to be with mom where ever I go. When she's 11 and wants to stay home and play with friends and I try to drag her to the chapter house - I could end up with a fight on my hands. We'll cross that road when/if it comes.
