Thanks for the stocking stuffer idea of a Kappa ornament! I got the 2007 (the year she was initiated) and I'll start a collection for her. Pretty soon she'll graduate and have her own tree!

What a thoughtful mom you are! I'll bet you could order a 2008 one as well so her collection starts when she was initiated and continues unbroken.

Miss DC USA is a Kappa!

I read that owls are the only bird that can see blue!

^^ Hehe yeah, Kappa put that on Twitter, didn't they?

Oh man, I keep seeing SUPER cute owl ornaments that I want to buy. I've resisted the urge so far, but someday when I have my own tree, it'll be much harder.

That is so cool! Thanks for sharing. It's interesting to see how much has changed- recruitment & selection process, receiving bids, clothing, hairstyles... the DG skit about the evolution of a banana skit cracks me up, I'd love to see that one!

I don't post often, but I love that Life Magazine article so much I had to say thanks! I sent it straight to my daughter. We both love those pref dresses! But thank goodness girls don't have to open bids--or non-bids-- one at a time any more while everyone else looks on.

The women looked absolutely angelic in the white dresses on the steps, holding candles. And during the selection when they were sitting on the floor, skirts draped around them? Beautiful! I'm sure that part was for the photographer, but still- it was great.

Ditto on the bids... I can't imagine that. Although I ISP'd, so I knew that if I got a bid it would be Kappa. We had a small system so the recruitment counselors came to each woman's dorm room to hand deliver each bid. They also waited for answers in case the woman was ready. It was much more private, although I understand that would NOT work on larger campuses and at less-residential schools!

I loved that story! It's amazing how much has changed and how much hasn't. Great pictures, especially.

I loved the pictures in that story! It was funny how some of it was phrased, and parts sounded pretty brutal.

My randomness: I just got a crewneck lettered sweatshirt! It's medium gray with dark blue letters/white background. I'm going to get "Alumna" embroidered under it on the right side. Yay! This is the first crewneck sweatshirt of any kind that I've had for a while, and I really like it! I can pretend to be a grown-up. Hehe!

The colonization at Northeastern started today! How exciting! I got so spoiled with colonies starting in California and now I'm sad that this one is so far away. Is anyone on GC in that area?

thetygerlily · #13 01-26-2010, 01:25 PM

Someone from my chapter is over there, I actually asked her on FB yesterday whether she was getting involved. No word yet, though!

LucyKKG · #14 02-03-2010, 11:01 PM

I got an e-mail from the Kappa Connections group on Yahoo (see Kappamd's thread about it here) about a new alumnae association in Eastern South Carolina. They're almost a year old now, and you can find them on Facebook by searching for "Eastern
North Carolina Alumni Association". The e-mail also included the e-mail address of the president, but I won't post it here.

I went to Night Owls tonight, and it was so much fun! The girl I usually go with (from my chapter) wasn't able to go, and I almost didn't go cause I thought I'd be the only one to show. There ended up being 6 of us, which is great cause we usually have 2 or 3. The service was TERRIBLE but we had fun and the food was great. I'm so glad I went!

There was one alumna the same age as me, two a few years older, and two (I'm guessing) in their 40's. One of them was someone I hadn't met before, and she was super nice.
