Meeting AlphaGams in Random Places

I am currently on vacation visiting a friend in Chicago. I met an AGD who worked in Victoria's Secret in the Woodfield Mall (Schaumberg)>

okay - total randomness!!!!!!!!

i'm in europe right now on a study abroad history trip. fun fun fun so far - although 'irish pub' does not mean the same thing all over the world.

well i'm in strasburg, france right now and i'm staying in a place called the chateau. low and behold i'm wearing my alpha gam letters last night and one of the girls on another floor starts freaking out - turns out that there are 6 other alpha gams staying here from different schools on trips! one from georgia and the other 5 from illinois wesleyen! rock on! i never thought i'd make it all the way to europe and meet a sister, let alone 6 of them. we're gonna get a picture tonight for the IW recruitment video and my scrapbook!

well i'm off to my class so i'll prolly get 'round to posting later. just thought i'd share my 'international alpha gams' story...

This is SUPER random-
So I am at work today, just minding my own, and I am the receptionist (along with everything else I do!) and I turn around to the front of the office- because I heard the door open and there stands one of my chapter sisters- she graduated two years before me! HEEHEE!! She was coming to call on my boss!
HOW FUNNY!

I was out driving with my sister yesterday and I saw a car with an older looking Alpha Gam sticker. I rarely see any Greek stickers on cars in my area, so I thought that was cool

So what is with all the Alpha Gams working at Victoria's Secrets?

I actually just got hired at the Victoria's Secret Beauty store at the Somerset Collection as a Makeup Artist so if you're in the area please visit! Well the grand opening is Friday. *AHEM* LESLIE COME VISIT ME!!!

I haven't really run into many Alpha Gams in Michigan maybe there just aren't enough of us here & most of us are in the south...i don't know Maybe if i started wearing my badge around I'd get people talking to me. like in Legally Blonde 2!!!!!

Hubby and I went to one of our fav pizza places. I was wearing my AGD poloshirt. As we were being sitted, we realized that hubby's co-worker, wife, child and her mom&s.o. were sitting next to us. Turns out that Jeff, the co-worker, was an Alpha Gam Big Brother at James Madison (Gamma Mu is now inactive).

Guess I wonder why he never questioned all the squirrel stuff in and out of the house!

Okay so it was planned, lol! Finallly got to meet another AGD Lynn! She pledged Auburn before I pledged WGa. It was very interesting to talk about recruitment then versus now.

I had compiled a list of AGDs in our 2 counties, I don't remember the exact count but it was prob about 25-30. Now if we could get us altogether!

I invited her to the next Panhellenic mtg but she is going to the US Open the next day and prob can't make it. I said come for the dessert, lol! Maybe her sister and friend-that-I-thought-was-her-cousin can.

Oh, I forgot, when she saw the list, she saw that one of her neighbors whom she doesn't know very well is an AGD! She said she's give her a call! Small world.

Hubby and I went to dinner at OCharlie's. From where I was sitting, I could see the pc where the waitperson enters our menu selections..it's the SQUIRREL program!

Halfway through our meal, a waitress walks by and I think "I think I know her" but it didnt' totally register....she's one of my collegians! I didn't recognize her b/c she had her hair pulled up and I knew/thought her hometown was over an hours away. Didn't get a chance to ask what she was doing so far south,lol.

Four of us AGDs who had never met finally got together for lunch, 2 West Ga, 1 UGA and 1 Auburn. One was going on vacation to an island in the Bahamas or next to the Bahamas..concidentily, one of the AGDs had spent a lot of time at this maybe little known place.

Anyway, as with almost all AGD meetings, I brought my list of AGDs in our 2 counties. There are over 120!! And it is 45 minutes to the nearest chapter (mine)..but not that many alums from WG. It was very interesting to learn who knew who but didn't know they were AGDs!!

Learned that the President of one of our town's BEST interior design shops is an UGA AGD! I had to go downtown anyway so I dropped in to see her. Of course, she wasn't in but I talked to her hubby. When I mentioned where I worked, he asked me if I knew xxxx. I said that we were from the same small town and our moms used to play bridge together. I asked what his wife's name was and I instantly recognized her as being one of the names on my AGD list!!! I stopped by her office to introduce myself but of course she was busy. I didn't tell the receptionist why I wanted to see her, just took a business card and will email her!! Another AGD is on our county's Board of Education!

Oh...and I was driving away from downtown, I was stopped at the redlight and a small car comes by...with red, yellow and green balloon!!!

Then I hurried down to Tech AGD house. to drop off an item..it is soooo cute! I met CurlyAGD and invited her to come to our Wed. and other night chats on GC and/or AOL/AIM.
