Thank you all for all the congratulations! My mom has been visiting so I haven't been able to post until now. She is excited for me as well.
Well, let's see. I think it was back in mid-March I met with one of the Alums for coffee and after chatting for an hour she informed me that they wanted to offer me membership in Gamma Phi Beta. I had an idea she was going to because she had a GPhiB folder with her that she hadn't brought before. I could hardly contain myself! Once she told me it took all I had not to jump over the table and hug her. I filled out the form and sent it back to her. And then.......just about 2 weeks ago the President of our AA called me up and told me everything had been approved. I was sooooooo happy. If I had had any doubts before that they were gone! I knew I had found my home. This past Monday then we had our first meeting of the year so I finally got to meet my sponsor (my big sis). She is WONDERFUL! She is also an AI so I can't wait to hear about her experience and learn everything I possibly can from her.
Of course the hard part will be waiting until next fall for Initiation but I know it will be well worth the wait. I will be initiated with the new members of Beta Gamma at BGSU.
Thanks again for all the congratulations. I hope to have many more wonderful stories to tell as I learn all about this wonderful sisterhood.
I wish the best of luck to all the other PNAMs out there.
