CJ,
Congratulations! I am so glad that DG worked out for you and that you have something special to share with your mom. Enjoy this time and good luck on elections.
Greek love,
Melissa

Bumping because I'm reminiscing and thinking of all the girls preparing for colony recruitments this Fall!

I probably should add an update as so much time has passed and I'm sure new folks will be reading the thread.
My mom was there for our Installation/Initiation on November 16, 2002. She proudly placed her badge on my chest during initiation!
In December of 2002, we made a holiday trip to Akron, OH where my mom grew up. While there, we met Andrea, who posted several times in this thread and ended up being one of my best friends. Andrea gave us a tour of my mom's chapter's house and took us out for ice cream.
Sadly, on March 10, 2003, my mom passed away.
My sisters were my anchors during that rough time in my life.
We buried my mom in Akron and once again, Andrea was by my side.
I finished out my collegiate years loving my DG experience and continue to be a very active alumna now.
I grew up, got married (Andrea was one of my bridesmaids!), have a beautiful son and another one on the way (due in October - Andrea is also due in October...with a little legacy of her own!). I'm now living in the UK with my little family.
Can't believe how time flies...
I'm so happy DG came into my life. My sisters have laughed with me, cried with me, celebrated with me, and have been my constant cheerleaders!

Though I'm very sorry to hear of the loss of your mom, this is a wonderful story whitedaisy! The perfect example of what sisterhood really means. Thank you for sharing and letting us know how things panned out!

Oh and if you want to read more about the whole "What DG has done for me thing..." - here is a link to our Fraternity Magazine, the ANCHORA from last winter, my story was including in the "How I Cope" article. The article starts on page 10, my bit starts on page 17 on the right hand side.

That's such a beautiful article. What started out as red-rimmed eyes as I read the thread turned in to full fledged tears when I read your story in the magazine. Thanks for the update - and the reminder of the depth of the bonds of sisterhood.
