Thank you all; I appreciate all the good wishes very much. She's absolutely shimmering with excitement and she's planning to come raid the house for all the Chi O stuff next visit! Well, she can't have the refrigerator magnet, it's really strong & we need it!

I think I'll blame Georgia's HOPE Grant for this. Who can turn down free tuition? And there's only 1 Pi Phi chapter in the state.

Wow! They didn't just ask for moms and sisters and we were rolling in the floor when we gave you that information!

I'm seeing owls everywhere I go lately - I was so convinced that you'd have a new Hootie!

SURELY you can talk #8 & #9 into SOME school with Pi Beta Phi and Alpha Delta Pi there! You NEED that Pi on the Carnation Nation flag!

Congrats to #7 in the nation.

(side note: HOLY COW. I can't imagine what one must do for a living to send 13 through college these days......! Mad props to Carnation parents for college and greek life and support and all. Just wow!)

Congratulations to Tallulah! Chi O landed another one. Still two more chances for an arrow, a kite, a key... just sayin'

(Check this out for a unique Chi O piece of jewelry.)

Kappa's mascot is also the owl.

Congratulations on Tallulah and Chi O. I have faith that you'll get your Pi Beta Phi yet.

Y'all are so sweet! Thank you!

Still no sign of Hazel. My husband and I have decided that maybe she was planted by Panhellenic like that guy Slugworth in the first Willie Wonka who kept testing the kids' loyalty. ("Let's see if she'll spread the word that we haze!")

Another sorority got their bigs and her friend down the hall is now the little sister of Tallulah's lifetime friend!

#8 is still looking at several schools but the 2 current favorites only have 1 sorority in common. No, I don't know if she'll rush!
