Don't know which house is whcih, but since I was born in May...here's to hoping that emerald is her new home...

Seriously, I hope that your Baby Berry finds her home. It would be very awesome if her cousin ended up being her sister as well. There's so many more things that she and her cousin will be bonded by then

Good news--her cousin is also rushing at the same school! She signed up at the last minute. So who knows, they may end up sisters as well as cousins!

My cousin and I are cousins and sisters! It is a wonderful bond! I just wish we could have been in the chapter together at the same time....but she did not rush until 2001...and I graduated in 2000! It is so cute because our dad's are brothers so we have the same last name, and I always went by my last name, and now she does too!

Oh I love it-- I hope they join the same house!

Interesting fact: In Chinese culture, one refers to cousins from the father's side who share the same last name as "sisters/brothers". For my two cousins and me, all born and raised in Canada, it is really annoying when our grandmother tells them to "say hi to Big Sister" (moi).

Good luck to Baby Berry!

(I'm partial to sapphires , of course, but hope she gets the gem of her choice.

Same with me. My cousin's daddy and my daddy are brothers. I pledged Kappa when my cousin was a senior in the chapter. We are both the youngest in our families, so I was as close to a legacy as she had!

When is the next round carnation? And then after the next round is it preference-- and then we will finally find out?? Ahhh the suspense!!

Also, what happened with the cousin? Did she get invites to the same houses??

One last hijack to add to the cousin comment-- it is true for me too that my cousin was as close to a legacy as I was going to get because my sister pledged another sorority at her school and my other 2 sisters were never Greek. I have 4 girl cousins and only one went greek-- and 3 sisters and only one went greek! But I am so happy I have ADPi to share with my cousin!

The next round of parties will be today and they get their invites tonight. Prefs are tomorrow and Bid Day is late tomorrow!

I know that Baby Berry Cousin is supposed to go to Emerald but I don't know about the other 2. She's in a weird situation because she had a school camp all week so she's being allowed to start recruitment late. She had tons of great high school activities and is really social so she ought to do well!

AXOjen · #13 08-28-2004, 09:25 AM

Keeping my fingers crossed for both young ladies!! I'm another emerald, too. The birthstone, that is... I don't know if I'm a sorority "emerald" yet or not.

Thanks for keeping us posted!

ADPiAkron · #14 08-28-2004, 09:44 AM

Best of luck to both of them!

I hope both she and her cousin end up with the jewel of there choie...together or not... I'm a topaz (birthstone) so lets go topaz
