i am not yet a greek, but i will post anyway. i was at Bed, Bath, and Beyond today with my mom doing some serious shopping!!

anywho, first i saw this glassware set made by the company, Anchor with a cool looking anchor symbol on it. then when my mom and i went to the check out line, the cashier was a DG from Univeristy of North Florida! and she recognized me too cause i went through COB this past spring. i thought it was really cool.

I went out for drinks with a co-worker and we were meeting his female friend. She went to U of Wisconsin, so of course I asked, "Were you in a sorority?" Yes ma'am, she was a DG! We hit it off famously after that.

One of my sisters and I went to the mall one day, and as we were leaving, we noticed that the car right next to hers had a KD sticker on it. It was obviously an alum, because she had a baby seat in the back. So we wrote her a note and left it on her windshield.

The same sister and I were driving to the beach a few weeks later, and we saw one of our sisters cars - or so we thought. She had a black Civic, a KD euro sticker, KD license plate frame, it was exactly like my niece's car. We drive up next to her, I'm like waving and doing our little KD handsign out the window...she was totally not my niece! She honked and waved, but she probably thought we were a little crazy!

One more story...my parents and brother were at the Orlando Intl. Airport waiting for a flight last December, and my mom saw a girl with a KD shirt. She goes up to her and is like my daughter's a KD at USF. And the girl introduced herself, and she was like I go to USF too! She was one of my sisters, who just happened to get a flight out of Orlando, not Tampa. My mom told me later, and I thought it was pretty great that she would just go up to a random KD!

We met a bunch of DZ's a couple of years ago on spring break. Some sisters and I were scoping out the beach and we saw these girls laying out on turtle towels and we stopped to let them know that we thought they had the cutest towels and they mentioned Delta Zeta...they were awesome girls. We made plans to meet up later that night and go out together...and I must say that spring break is definitely a lot more fun when DZ's are representing

I am involved in an organization called Young Life which is an outreach program to high school and middle school kids. I went to go help out at the school we do YL at for their middle school field day. I had a Chi O crest charm on my necklace and the parent in charge of field day asked me if that was a Chi O crest on my neck. Turns out she was a Chi O alum from UGA and so was another parent field day volunteer.

I was in the mall a few weeks ago wearing our Parent's weekend shirt and I saw a girl kind of watching me, I was like hmm ok. I was in line at the food court and she came up and was like hey I am a Chi O at UCF, we chatted for a while, it was really neat!

My mom's a caterer and does a lot of the lunches for the local library system. Whenever they plan a party with her, she works with this one woman, Vicki. Her husband teaches at my school (actually had him for a class), but i never put it together that she too went to BW. Months after I joined, I found out that she too was a Phi Mu from BW's chapter

I also love going to work out and seeing people wearing tshirts with their letters on them- I was just in a kickboxing class with a Kappa Delta last week.

Two years ago, when I was a manager at a Pizza Shop in Shaker, I was bartender for the evening. There was a bunch of guys who just ordered two pitchers of beer. One of them notice that I had on my summer cap with my letters on. He then introduced himself to me as one of the founding members of the Beta Tau Chapter of STG at Slippery Rock University in PA. That was definately cool.

HI There,

Once at a TV taping that my chapter went to this girl comes up to me and ask what chapter I'm from. Turns out she was a Phi Sigma Sigma from CSU Bakersfield which is in our division but is a few hours drive from Los Angeles.

Another time I was at Disneyland for the Candlelight Procession ceremony and I see someone with a Phi Sig shirt on. It turned out it was the Advisor from the Bakersfield Chapter. We said hi and it turned out both of us were there celebrating our birthdays.

When I owned the Liquor store, 3 young men came in the store.

I asked them for I D's. They all took them out to show me and I see a LXA Card. Asked what is that and they all Said, It is our Fraternity card. What
Fraternity is it. LXA one said, I told them in a Fraternity and pull out my billfold and show them mine!!!

"Holy Shit He is a LXA and has a # 1 on it"

I laffed like crazy. Have been to the UMoKC house several times and met the Brothers!!

One of my Brothers worked in a High Rise and had LCA Tag on car with his #. Had three notes on window from Brothers of Diff Chapters who worked in the same office building!

Is anyone checking the world to see if it really is getting smaller?

One of my sisters, Amy, worked vacations at Disneyland as one of the charactors(Minnie Mouse I think?)

Once she was out and about and saw a girl with A Phi letters on.

She went chasing after her, waving her 'paws' frantically.

The girl was totally confused, until Amy held out her paw and gave her the handshake.

The girl was elated, and hugged Amy.

an A Phi was a mouse?

when I was snowboarding in colorado a few years ago I wound up randomnly sitting on the chairlift next to two Betas from the University of Florida. we went and had a few beers and it was pretty cool.

last summer I was in italy and this old guy in venice saw me wearing a Beta shirt and came up to me and gave me the grip. it was pretty awesome to meet a brother all the way across the world

I met a KD from the University of Florida in the store at Bethany. (Yes, THE store, there is only one

). It was surreal that we met in our tiny little college town!
