What was an "Ah Hah" Moment as an AOII?

[Morag]

When I signed up for Rush (ok, I just dated myself), Panhellenic organized a simple event for all potential rushees to come and meet Panhellenic. No badges, no T-shirts, no fraternity/sorority identification of any kind.

When I wandered into this room, not knowing anyone, a lady approached me, smiled a huge, warm smile, and introduced herself as Barb. She told me what would happen that afternoon and what to expect during Formal Rush.

All through the various room parties (we didn't have houses), I kept looking for Barb, not realizing that as a Panhellenic representative she would not be in any Rush event.

I prefed AOII and KAT, hoping for AOII but still wondering about this great lady I had first met.

On our campus, our Big Sis was also our sponsor, so on the night of pledging, as we sat out in a cold hallway, waiting for the KOR to open the door, I sat with my pledge class as they went in one by one. (I was last due to my surname.)

Finally, the time came, the KOR opened the door and outstepped Barb. She was my Big Sis.

That was my first Ah Hah moment with AOII.
