One Hundred and Thirty Three Years...

Today, We Celebrate Our History.

I believe in my Fraternity.
I believe in the friendships formed in the springtime of my youth.
I believe in its high ideals which lift me up beyond myself.
I believe in its earnest drive for good scholarship, moral character, and genuine culture.
I believe in it as a shrine of international sisterhood wherein I may find love and loyalty, sympathy and understanding, inspiration and opportunity.
I believe in it as a creator of good citizenship, helping me to do my work well, to live in harmony with others, and to serve my country and to trust in God.
I believe in my Fraternity.
I believe in Alpha Phi.
-Annette Holt Hitchcock, Pi 1912

In 1872, 10 young women gathered together in a small room and made a promise. Their promise was simple but filled with power. Their promise, which is now very old, remains remarkable and relevant today.

HAPPY FOUNDERS' DAY!

And a Happy Thanksgiving to our Canadian sisters too!

Happy Founders Day to all of my sisters!

No badge wearing today unless I get out of my PJs (day off today)

Happy Thanksgiving to my Canadian sisters (we celebrate both turkey days because Mr. 1228 is Canadian--and I am the only American in my now immediate family)

Hey Sismadly and Jillzie, Happy Thanksgiving eh!

Is it a turkey feast in Canada too??? I need some schooling on how they do it on your side of the border.

Ya forgot ariesrising too!

yeah it is a turkey fest, but IMO they don't go all out as much as Americans do...but that is just from what I see.

Also in most grocery stores in the US around US Thanskgiving, they are practically giving turkeys away. Here unless you wanted to use points on your grocery store card, you paid $2 per pound for a turkey (at least that is the way it was at Save On Foods)
