Quotes that exemplify your AOII experience

Today, as I tackled the big, dirty laundry mountain in my closet, I read the sayings on all of my AOII t-shirts. It brought to mind a question....

If you could make a quote (new or one existing) for a t-shirt, what quote best exemplifies your AOII experience? Is that quote different for your alum experience?

WOW! What a question!

I'll be thinking about this one! THANKS!!

I think this is the best one for me because I knew on the first day of parties that I wanted AOII.

I knew right from the very start, that I had AOII in my heart

"I always knew I would laugh about the times I cried, but I never knew I would cry about the times I laughed"

Certainly not a t-shirt saying - but hits the nail on the head for me:

"You'll get out of AOII, what you put into it."

Some people wait a liftime for a moment like this!

From the outside looking in you can never understand it.
From the inside looking out you can never explain it.

Put the first line in a half-circle and arch it on top, then the 2nd line the same way at the bottom, then have a couple of cute pandas playing between our AOII letters in the middle.

Would make a darned cute bid-day or convention shirt if I do say so myself <VBG>

I have been trying to post on GC for weeks but have been unable to do so due to technical difficulties. I am hoping it will work this time!

I like the following quote from a favorite song which always reminds me of those good ole sorority college days:

"It's something unpredictable but in the end is right. I hope you had the time of your life." ~ GreenDay

"AOPi means more than the world to me."

You know the song... you know the verse, you know the line, you know it's true.

My favorite quote that exemplifies AOII for me was actually one that was printed up and given out at one of the first meetings I went to as a pledge:

“The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life. Rarely do members of one family grow up under the same roof.”

Also, a cute one I like for bid day shirts is:

"Girls don't come to college to find husbands, they come to find their bridesmaids!"

I always wished I'd had a shirt with that on it!

Alpha Love,
Kristi

I agree with the one about not finding husbands, but bridesmaids.

I also have found this one online

"Sisterhood is the essence of all the wisdom of the ages, distilled into a single word. You cannot see sisterhood, neither can you hear it nor taste it. But you can feel it a hundred times a day. It is a pat on the back, a smile of encouragement. It's someone to share with, to celebrate your achievements."

one of my favorites is

AOII ...it's something you never knew you were missing, but now you can't live without!

just found my list of quotes - here's some of the other good ones

Sisters share their inner souls,
Secrets, hopes, sorrow, goals.
Though time passes with joy or tears
A sister's love will last the years.

Three things make life worth living: God, sisters and cookies.

We laugh, we cry, we make time fly.
Best friends are we, my sister and me.

Sisters are different flowers from the same garden.

With all life's treasures and blessings without end,
I have the finest sister and even dearer friend.

Sisters and roses are much the same.
Both are God's masterpieces,
each with a different name.

Sisters are angels in disguise!

Sisters are angels on earth!

In the cookies of life, sisters are the chocolate chips.

No closer bond of friendship is to be found than the love shared between sisters.

Sister, those quiet confidences we share
remind me that you're always there.

There is no better friend than a sister. And there is no better sister than you!

A sister is a forever friend.

A sister is a special kind of friend.

A sister is a special partof all that's precious to my heart.

Close to my heart you'll always be,
Friends from the start,
My sister and me.

Chance made you my Sister, Love made you my friend!

S.I.S.
Simply Incredible Sister

SISTER: Another word for "friend".

Sisters are blossoms in the garden of life.

Sisters are forever!

Sister by chance, friends by choice.

i was looking up quotes for t-shirts when i saw this site! i did find a good quote though...

"a true sister is someone who knows the song in your heart
and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words"

we just finished our last night of recruitment tonight and after this week, that quote means more to me than most of what i've seen.

alpha love and mine
