			I'm so happy for you! I loved this thread and even though I can never usually guess chapters or schools, I got this one and was thinking good thoughts for you. I am so happy for you and Sigma Delta Tau. And now for a favorite Dumbledore quote: 
 
"It is our choices that show who we truly are, far more than our abilities." 
 
I'm glad that you've made such good choices and I hope that you continue to do so. I wish you all the best in this journey of sisterhood, thank you for sharing a little bit of it with us.

SDT at USC is the place to be! 
(how's that for rhyming?)

 Talk about the interfering alumnae from hell! I am seriously laughing out loud thinking of it. Yes, I'm 45, no I'm not an SDT, no I've never met her in person, no I've never even visited USC, but how could you not pick her? Are you crazy? I'm calling your national right this minute!
  
Back to topic, how many new pledge sisters do you have, if you don't mind sharing?

			Thank you all! I'm going to miss posting this! But I'm so glad to have found my home.    psusue, that is one excellent Dumbledore quote. It would also make an amazing signature.    I wish I had a book of Dumbledore quotes-he really "said" some inspiring things.
