That Sunday, at our chapter meeting, we would be voting on which organization would be chosen to colonize. Our alumna advisor was there too with feedback that she had received from our alumnae. We hoped to narrow our selection down to three or even two, and then go from there. We used the projector that was in our house from all of the presentations so that we could display a Powerpoint presentation of the pros and cons that sisters had submitted for each group and to see the statistical analysis of the rankings--how many people ranked each organization as their number one, how many people ranked each organization as their last choice, the average ranking for an organization, the standard deviation of the rankings, and any other sort of statistical information you could think of. We're Carnegie Mellon girls, we don't mess around.

After the first ranking, Ketchup had the most number one votes, followed by Mayo, with Mustard and then Relish pretty far behind. We decided based on our analysis that we could pretty much rule out Relish and Mustard as possibilities.

We weighed the pros and cons of Ketchup and Mayo. We debated for quite some time, but I don't remember quite how long. I think with normal business and the voting, the meeting was well over two hours long.

In the end, we confidently chose and agreed upon Ketchup, better known as (from my signature, obviously) Alpha Chi Omega!

See, I knew it had to be good. I'm glad that your chapter found a great fit in Alpha Chi Omega!

I am glad the group you chose was so respectful of your past.

I mean, after all, the founders of our respective groups were all in the same boat like you were when looking at the expansion options in a way too...making decisions and going into uncharted territory with visions for the future.

Did a lot of your alums choose to AI into Alpha Chi too?
