Finally some AI news!!

[tinydancer]

I am so excited - I have been invited to my first alum party next Sunday! My sponsor and I decided that perhaps the Dallas alums were more active, and we were right! She wrote their president, and pow! almost right away she got a response. What's more, she invited my sponsor and me to their next function, which just happens to be Sunday.

I can't wait to meet the ladies of "the sorority that must not be named" (at least for right now). I hope I will fit in - I have no idea if this is a real young group, or a varied range. They do seem to have activities each month, so they seem active and interesting.

Wish me luck - I'll keep you posted!!!

Good Luck - you're sure to knock their socks off! :D

Alright!!! I hope you have an excellent time!!


PNAM,

[FuzzieAlum]

OK, from now on, whenever any PNAM says "XYZ," I'm going to be thinking "Voldemort." Ack!

Good luck!!!!!!!!!!

[tinydancer]

I'm hoping for Gryffindor! This would be so much easier if we had the Sorting Hat!

PNAM tinydancer

[DeltaBetaBaby]

Wouldn't that be a great way to eliminate sorority rush? Just slap the sorting hat on each of the PNM's.

[CutiePie2000]

Ha Ha, you cheeky people! But then who would be the "evil" Slytherin house? ha ha! (don't answer that!) ;)

[FuzzieAlum]

LOL, I *know* what house it would be on my campus! Remember, Slytherin always had plenty of eager recruits ... I think we all know a chapter like that!

[AOIIalum]

Does the Sorting Hat make sure that all new candidates are somewhat evenly assigned? I'd hate to see a zillion "Slytherins" and hardly any "Gryffindors" somewhere.

Yes, I had a co-worker like that too.
Thankfully she moved cubicles and I don't hear her BLAH BLAH BLAH loud annoying voice anymore....

[tinydancer]

Just wanted to let everyone know that I had a wonderful time at the party yesterday. It was their "Senior Celebration" and they honored the graduating seniors. They each told what they were going to be doing next year - several going to grad school. The alums were very nice. I had a good chat with several of them and all seemed very open to AI. The hostess is also a Texas grad - so my sponsor and I had "old home week" with her talking about Austin.

They all just seemed really glad that I was interested in them, and even though I was nervous, they really made me feel at ease. I believe I can see myself as part of this group.

So now I wait....
But I want to thank all my GC friends for all their good wishes - that made the day even easier to know how many were thinking of me!!

Lizz (PNAM tinydancer)

[AOIIalum]

Lizz, it sounds like you had a great time. Good for you and good for the unnamed sorority (I hate all this "unnamed sorority" stuff, but I understand why PNAMs would refrain from naming the sorority they are considering AI with!)

Perhaps I will have something to look forward to in the fall???

[tinydancer]

My sponsor lent me some of her "Gryffindor" magazines so I could read about the sorority. (I'm just calling it Gryffindor instead of ABC or somesuch) I looked at all the info. about the chapters in my area. For one chapter, I found the name of the sister-in-law of one of my best friends!! I had no idea she is Greek, much less a Gryffindor!! I have known the s-i-l for some time through another club. So I run to the phone, and leave my friend a message - screaming - "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME LINDA IS A GRYFFINDOR????" I guess my friend either didn't remember or just didn't think to mention it!

Just had to laugh!!

[JohnsDGsweethrt]

That is funny! Yeah keep us posted! Can't wait to find out who the lucky sorority is!

[GPhiBLtColonel]

...is when you are gonna share with us the name of the sorority that as JohnsDGsweetheart says is a lucky sorority -- it sure is lookin' PRETTY DARN CERTAIN you will be alum initiated as a "gryffindor" come Fall!!!!!!;) I mean look at all the coincidences that have happened vis-a-vis you and Gryffindor in the past months!!!
You know I am very happy to hear your great news! Be sure to tell us all about it on June 1st!!!
:D

[texas*princess]

I can't wait to hear how the alum officer installion went!!!! (yea.. I know it's still like 2 weeks away, but I still can't wait!!!!!!)

I hope things continue to go wonderfully with you and the lucky lucky sorority!!!!

[SmartBlondeGPhB]

I'd have to agree with Cele. BUT, I was always the one crawling under the Christmas tree and shaking the presents AFTER spending weeks searching the house for them!

Patience just isn't my best trait.............

LoL!!! I am the same exact way!!! I went to the Dallas Alumnae Panhellic Association's website in hopes that maybe I could at least *try* to narrow it down, but alas, there are 20 sororities represented in the Dallas area!! (Which I think is wonderful! It just doesn't help me narrow it down! lol!) ;)

[Tom Earp]

As Co-Mod on this Thread, I want us to know as damn soon as possible, what Soroity, and where!

...sigh...:rolleyes:

[tinydancer]

Oh, I think we are ALL enamored with Tom and his unique way with words!!

I just am on pins and needles waiting for the 31st and meeting some more lovely Gryffindors!! Wish I could give you all more of a hint, but I don't want to jinx it.

Don't worry - you will hear all about it right after the meeting.

[pinkyphimu]

lizz, i love that you are referring to the mysterious sorority as the gryffindors...great idea!! have fun at the meeting!

[texas*princess]

hehehe.. i'm soooo lost.. what is a gryffindor? :confused:

[CutiePie2000]

Originally posted by texas*princess

Gryffindor is that house that Harry Potter is in at his school "Hogwarts".

Liz (tinydancer) is using "Gryffindor" as a pretend sorority name, because, in the interests of being discreet, she does not want to reveal the sorority's "real name" just yet! :D (You know, not to jinx it and all that!)

Also, in a different thread, some of us were saying, "Wouldn't it be easier if instead of Rush, we could plop a 'sorting hat' on all the rushees' heads (again, from Harry Potter) and then the rushees would know which house they truly belonged in.

Oh, and I think I chimed in, then which sorority would be the evil Slytherin house?...LOL

[texas*princess]

CutiePie, thanks for the Harry Potter clarification!! Hehehe.. I never did read any of the Harry Potter books, so I guess that's why I'm lost!

I can totally understand why she would want to keep the sorority name a secret (even I did that in my rush thread!) I just wasn't sure what a gryffindor was! Maybe I'll pick up one of those Harry Potter books for a nice summer read!

Thanks again!! :)

Damn, hurry up, I am getting blue in the face from holding my breath!:D

[JohnsDGsweethrt]

I was thinking maybe tiny dancer could give us a hint like one of the colors of Gryffindor? So that way we could narrow it down in our minds? lol

[tinydancer]

Ohhhh, I'm afraid not! That might totally give it away (Yep, I know - that's what you want!!!)

I'm still not sayin'


till it's for sure!!

[texas*princess]

hmm.. so there are distinct colors...hmmm...

Hang in there, my impatient Panhellenic sisters, the "Sorting Hat" will reveal ALL soon enough! :D

P.S. The above may or may not be a "red herring".

[JohnsDGsweethrt]

ok i can respect that! ;) i just know some of us have the same color (like blue) as one of the colors but if the colors are distinct i don't want you to give it away. we'll just have to wait :) good luck!

Hehe, not fair! I have 2 sororities that I think Gryffindor might be...

[CutiePie2000]

Well, in Harry Potter's Gryffindor, the colors are red and yellow, which are also the colors of my amycat's University of Southern California Trojans, and are, coincidentally, also the colors of Chi Omega!
Coincidence? Ah...the plot thickens...
But perhaps, I am just using this thread to practice my HTML and UBB skills??

Mwah ha ha ha!

lol I agree!!! I can't wait to hear how it turned out!!! The event is only a few days away!!!!

CutiePie, I guess it pays to know your Harry Potter stuff! I would have never made a correlation like that!

[FuzzieAlum]

I don't think any two NPC sororities have identical colors all around - several use blue, for example, but none have the same combination of blue and whatever. So giving away the colors would be the same as giving away the letters.

So true, Fuzzie.
Like A Xi D has a bit of overlap with their blue and gold theme with KKG's colors (no gold though) and Tri Delta's colors (they have gold and silver also)

[AUDeltaGam]

I was thinking either Pi Beta Phi or Zeta Tau Alpha !

I can't wait to find out!

[tinydancer]

Hmmmmmmm.....

crunch crunch crunch ( no that is not a clue, I am just having popcorn for lunch!!)

Actually "Gryffindor" IS a clue, but I'm not telling how!!!:p

[JohnsDGsweethrt]

Could it be because Gryffindor's symbol is a lion? Lets see. What sorority has a symbol as a lion? Texas*princess????.... LOL Sorry Tiny I will be quite now! LOL Just having some fun :D

[SmartBlondeGPhB]

Tiny.........

You are SO mean to us!!!!! LOL

Torturing us like this.

(done being the spoiled only child)

[FuzzieAlum]

Gryffindor?


... hmmm ...

I think AXD is the only sorority with griffins on its crest.

LoL.. Let's see.. that could be Alpha Delta Pi or Phi Mu!

Hehehe.. on a more serious note, whichever sorority it is tinydancer, they would be very lucky to have a dedicated person like yourself! :) I just can't wait to hear how it goes and who the lucky sorority is!

[CutiePie2000]

Originally posted by BetaRose
Pi Beta Phi (wine and silverblue), and Sigma Kappa (lavender and maroon). I think everybody else shares at least one of their colors with another group.

I would also say that Pi Phi's "wine" and Alpha Phi's "bordeaux" are quite similar too.

[AOIIalum]

I think this is a good hint for the colors--they're either red, white, blue, green, teal, gold, silver, yellow, buff, azure, crimson, cardinal, pink, peach, brown, mode, grey, sky, surf, sea, lavender, maroon, purple, orange, black or some combination of colors, shades and intensities!

How's that, did I get it right?

Update, please...? :)

[cutiepatootie]

my fair sweet panhellenic sister no one has reallymentioned Alpha Phi yet.... bourdeoux and silver is unique! :D and you could say the bourdoeux is a USC color and it is only shared with Pi Phi.......



the plot thickens

[SmartBlondeGPhB]

Ok, I know I recently had surgery and have been on pain meds so my brain's a bit foggy, but did I miss something about USC? I saw the yellow and red comment but that's it............

And to think, we still have another week to suffer............

I am sure glad I didn't go AI, I would not have the patience.

[AAgammagirl]

c'mon tinydancer, give it up already. can't you at least tell us who the choices are out of 5 or 6?
(sorry i can't remember if you already gave them to us).

[breathesgelatin]

tinydancer, good luck! Let us know how it goes! :)

[tinydancer]

so I thought I had better check in! I had a wonderful time at the luncheon. It was in a cute little cafe and the food was really good. But the best part was the precious women that I met (see Southern Belle Primer about precious.) The Alum chapter has about 130 members, but there were only 13 there besides me. They were also disappointed at the low turnout. I sat across from 2 neat older (older than me even-ha) ladies; one was a 50-year member. There were also several that I had met at the Senior Celebration. When they sang the grace before lunch, one of the sweet ladies said "OH - I forgot that Lizz doesn't know the words! I'm already thinking of her as a sister!"
When I was introduced, the membership chair said "Lizz is a prospective AI and she will be attending a couple of our events in the fall, and then we will start the process." They, evidently, had decided not to have any summer events.
Soooo, it looks as if I will not know anything "for sure" until fall. I was a little disappointed, because I am not the most patient person in the world. BUT, I did get a good feeling about the group, on the whole. They all were very friendly and easy to talk to. I did not feel left out or awkward, even though I was basically on my own (without my sponsor, whose grandson graduates from high school today.)
From past conversations, I think the chapter was burned a time or two by AI's who were initiated and were never heard from again. I guess I can understand why they want to make absolutely sure. I have stressed that I do plan to be active and participate in their chapter.
I wish I had something more definite to report, because everyone has been so supportive and interested in my progress. I truly thank you for that - it means a lot to me.
I think I am creeping up on my home!!

Lizz (PNAM tinydancer)

[midwesterngirl]

That is fabulous,Lizz!I am so glad that you had a good time.Hopefully summer will pass by quickly for you.:)

[breathesgelatin]

yay!!

good luck! I know the wait sucks, but I'm glad things went so well today!

[texas*princess]

yay! I'm so glad to hear things went well at the luncheon!

I hope things continue to progress great for you!

[Tom Earp]

Lizz, sounding good!!!!!!:)

I probably am missing something but you tell yet whichone/who it is???

I am always so happy for any newies as my Initiation was different from anyone elses that I know of in the Fraternity!:D Heck no one I tell beleives it, but is true!!! Would not change it a bit!:)


Go Girl, GO!!! I am hopin good thoughts for U!!!!! :D

[tinydancer]

No, Tom, you haven't missed it - I haven't spilled it yet. Shoot, if I have to be patient, everybody has to!!!:p

(Woo Hoo post #200 - yea me!!)

[bsp-mich24]

Hi Lizz,

Good luck!! Things do sound promising for you; I hope you receive good news before fall.:D

[SmartBlondeGPhB]

Our alumnae chapter doesn't have any events during the summer either............

[DolphinChicaDDD]

No, Tom, you haven't missed it - I haven't spilled it yet. Shoot, if I have to be patient, everybody has to!!!

We have to wait??!! I was in PA this weekend, and a rule in the house is there is no internet, so I was gonna miss the announcement!!!

OK, so I just jumped in this board here, but I've been reading for a few weeks now...I was part of a local sorority, and we affiliated with a national, but my big sister graduated before we affiliated, so i'm looking into helping her with AI...

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE AND KEEP US POSTED!!!!! I think I'm getting more and more impatient the more I read things!!

[AngelPhiSig]

ahhh! I hate suspense!

[GPhiBLtColonel]

Tinydancer is gettin' close to membership in Gryffindor!!!
(I think I might know why you chose that code name....hmmmm?)
Lizz, you know how much it pains me to hear that you still have some waitin' to do but I would say from the sounds of things, Alum Initiation seems pretty certain. I agree that the alum chapter was probably burned by AIs in the past and having you to a few more events is just their way to reassure themselves you are going to be active and involved. Don't lose hope and keep us posted....by the way, at what point will you feel comfortable enough to tell us what GLO Gryffindor really is???:confused:

[tinydancer]

Well, I just got a sweet email from the Gryffindor membership chair saying how glad she was that I attended their closing luncheon. She said she wanted me to get to meet more of the members so I could get a real "feel" for the group; and she wanted more of them to meet me so they could be sure that I would be a good match with them. I have liked every member that I have met so far!

I am going to be receiving their newsletter and calendar of events for next year, as she said, "so I could plan to attend." I say that sounds VERY GOOD!!;)

[SmartBlondeGPhB]

Yeah! That sounds VERY promising. As someone who's chapter had an AI who ended up not being involved, I'm sure it's a pretty big concern for them.

I've had this exact discussion with members of a few of our alumnae chapters.

I would also say this. Compared to other stories PNAMs have told, it's a GREAT sign that she's contacting you!

[GeekyPenguin]

I think Gryffindor likes you! :D

I thought of something to compare the long wait for AIs to - it's kind of like your "New Member Period." You're going to activities and getting to know the chapter better, just like collegians do!

[tinydancer]

Thanks, Penguin! I LIKE that comparison!!

[texas*princess]

tinydancer - it seems like you are almost home!!!

I hope things continue to go well for you and I hope you find the home of your dreams with Gryffindor!

P.S.
I finally saw the Harry Potter movie and now understand the 'sorting hat' thing, so I'm really excited:p

welll?!?!?!?!?

I *tried* to do some sleuthing, to figure out which group could POSSIBLY be Gryffindor...

I narrowed it down a little bit -- the Dallas Panhellenic has 20 representatives out of the 26 NPC orgs (assuming the site is up to date) -- which makes it look like Gryffindor could be almost anything. I'm still hoping for a Phi Mu Gryffindor, but I could be biased. :)

Go Lizz go!

Ditto to this...I think tinydancer is toying with us. :p

And OT, but Melanie, I had a dream about you last night - it was so weird. I read my Crescent before I went to bed and then I was thinking about HCB stuff, and you came out to Wisconsin to help us...I think I need to lay off the Gamma Phi before bedtime. ;)

Dreaming about ME, that's scary........

Is it the new one? I am not very patiently waiting for this summer one to come out and I always seem to get it later than other people.

No it's still the Spring one. Let me know when you get your summer one so I can go borrow it from somebody. :D I am really excited for the new one - I wish we got Crescents every month!

[SmartBlondeGPhB]

Oh, I will. I'm featured in it. :D

You're in every Crescent...GRR on you. :D We have started sending in more pictures, so hopefully we'll get in there soon. Two of our alums are getting married this summer (one just did, one in September) and both had mostly Gamma Phis for bridesmaids, so we are going to send in pictures galore for that.

[SmartBlondeGPhB]

lol. You just need to be diligent in sending stuff in. Before the spring one we hadn't been in one in a while.

Not that way actually. Just me. They are profiling "adventurist Gamma Phi's" and I scuba dive.

LoL .. I tried doing that too which didn't help too much! ;) :D :p :)

[tinydancer]

LOL at you folks trying to figure it out. Really, it is very obvious to me......

OK, back to reading about that "other" Gryffindor in HP5. At least it gives me something fun to do while I wait for the call.
Or should I say "Wait for the owl" but owl is NOT a clue!!!!!;)

[tinydancer]

So you know that:
It's a group in the Dallas Panhellenic
It's not penguins
It's not owls

That eliminates some groups, anyway. Makes for a fun game.

Ooh, we also know (from your first post) that there's also a more local (Ft Worth, perhaps?) chapter which didn't seem as active, which is why you went to Dallas....

So, it could be Alpha Phi, Phi Mu, Delta Gamma, or ZTA...since they have alum chapters in Ft. Worth.

Ugh! Why isn't Ft. Worth Panhel anywhere on the web!!

Actually, I really like the whole puzzle nature of it more than anything. I *love* reading the rush stories and trying to figure out which house is which and guessing where they're gonna go.

It's like a murder mystery with a happy ending. :)

[SmartBlondeGPhB]

I peeked ALL the time...........

Sorry (well not sorry) to add to your list, but we also have a Ft Worth Alumnae Chapter.

I totally did not make the HP=Harry Potter connection - ding dong!
Don't forget that there is HP sauce too....mmmmm

Yes, I have free time because I am bored and don't particularly care for my job. sigh...

LOL - y'all are WAY overthinking this!

So when do we get to start a betting pool? A lot of money to be made. LOL.

Hmmm...I wonder if the house colors correspond to real sororities:

Gryffindor is red and gold, so corresponds with Chi Omega, and somewhat with AGD (red, buff and green).

Hufflepuff is black and yellow, so corresponds with Kappa Alpha Theta.

Ravenclaw is blue and bronze (I think...it's been a while since I read HP), so Tri Delta, AXiD.

Slytherin is green and white, so that corresponds with Kappa Delta (sorry....don't shoot the messenger, I am just having fun with colors. I think AEPhi has green too)

I don't know if I have the Hogwarts colors totally accurately, so feel free to dig out those books and correct me! :D

[aephi alum]

AHHH!!! I'M IN SLYTHERIN!!!!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

(AEPhi's colors are green and white, same as Kappa Delta's.)

Though I thought Slytherin's official colors were green and silver... someone please confirm this, for the sake of AEPhi's and KD's everywhere... ;)

[tinydancer]

Someone is having too much fun!:)

[texas*princess]

lol CutiePie!!!

earlier in this thread we were coming up with all kinds of crazy theories as to how Gryffindor might be a clue! :)

I had a feeling that you would post soon after you'd read that. hee hee...

Actually I think you're right. I think the Hogwarts houses each have 1 metallic color (i.e. gold or silver and then their regular color), but I can't remember.

The colors are DEFINITELY stated in Book #1. Maybe even around the Sorting Hat Ceremony part, but I can't remember for sure!!

[CutiePie2000]

A few minutes later... Okay, I stand corrected, these are the colours (ah the miracle of the Internet)

Gryffindor: house colours are gold and scarlet.
Slytherin: house colours are silver and green (aephi alum, you are safe!!)
Hufflepuff: house colours are yellow and black
Ravenclaw: house colours are blue and bronze (Ooh, I like, just add pink and you have DG! ;) )

[Sistermadly]

I guess that would make me a Gryfferin.. or a Slythendor. *snort* ;)

[SmartBlondeGPhB]

Oh, you have too much free time..........:D

In the Goblet of Fire (where the students from the other schools come to visit for the "Champions Tournament"), did their houses have colours? Just wondering.

Hmmmm. Gamma Phi Beta has brown, and bronze is pretty close to brown. I am willing to "share" Ravenclaw LOL for the bronze with you, and for the blue with ADPi's. ;)

I don't think so. I reread GoF in preparation for the release of OotP, and I don't remember anything about school colors... I do recall that Durmstrang and Beauxbatons weren't subdivided into houses as Hogwarts was.

[GeekyPenguin]

Originally posted by SmartBlondeGPhB

The SuperCool house, duh.

[Beryana]

I guess then we AOIIs would be in Gryffindor. . . Our colour is cardinal which is a red just as scarlet is a red. We don't have a 2nd color so. . . .

We could always go by the Quidditch team colours (I know it doesn't go with the original post comparing the AI sorority to Gryffindor. . . ).

Appleby Arrows: Pale blue with silver arrows (Pi Phi?, TPA?)
Ballycastle Bats: Red and black (AOII?)
Caerfilly Catapults: Light green and scarlet (AGD?)
Chudley Cannons: Orange and black
Falmouth Fallons: Dark gray and white
Holyhead Harpies: Dark green and gold
Kennmare Kestrals: Emerald green and yellow
Montrose Magpies: Black and white
Pride of Portree: Deep purple and gold (DPhiE?)
Piddlemere United: Navy and gold (AXiD? DDD?)
Tutshill Tornadoes: Sky blue and navy (KKG)
Wigtown Wanderes: Blood red and silver
Wimbourne Wasps: Black and yellow (Theta)

Quidditch Through the Ages doesn't give the colours for any teams outside the UK and Ireland so I'm not able to lengthen the list. :)

Guess I have too much time, huh?!

[CutiePie2000]

Just as we followed Donna, Brandon and Kelly in 90210 from high school through college, I want to know if we will be able to follow Hermione through rush after Hogwarts! Only if she goes to college in North America, I guess. :(

I am sorry, but I have to reply to this. I believe the people that are contributing to this thread are rather enjoying themselves and how this thread is progressing.

I think Tom was being sassy...I'm not sure.

Tom, AI for certain organizations takes a long, long time. I think our beloved tinydancer must be looking at one of those groups. We are just keeping her entertained. :)

[pinkyphimu]

does the old saying....if you don't like it don't read it work for moderators too? honestly, it is not like anyone is doing anything inappropriate.

i totally wish that i had read the harry potter books bc i would love to contribute to this discussion. i am going to borrow them from a friend this summer, but by the time i am finished reading them....i bet we will know who griffendor is!

[JohnsDGsweethrt]

I have always thought it could be Alpha Phi b/c of the scarlet but now I guess it could be AOII too b/c they also have scarlet. I also always thought Phi Mu or ADPi b/c of the Gryffindor lion symbol.

The saying goes for EVERYONE on GC, whether you be a newbie, regular, old-timer, and even moderator.

Tom, I see your threatening to delete this thread as a slap in the face to tinydancer and her quest for AI. So what if she can't reveal names yet? You don't like it because you think it's boring? Give me a friggin' break! Last time I checked, "boring threads" aren't a violation of the Terms of Service. Don't abuse your mod status. You'll piss off a lot of people that way.

tinydancer, I'm sorry to contribute to letting this get O/T. I really am enjoying reading about your road to AI and I wish you the best of luck!

[Jill1228]

I'm wishing you luck too sweetie! Right now I am reading the first Harry Potter book so I can't participate in the color thread!

OOh Teeny...thanks for having tinydancer's back, sister! I think I speak for mostly everyone in this thread when I say thanks for having OUR backs! http://superbabies.homestead.com/files/bow.gif

Now back to our regularly scheduled thread!

[bsp-mich24]

Michelle's .02 cents, (sorry its long)

Please lets not get too nasty on this thread and everyone concerned needs to develope patients (myself included).;)

As others had mentioned "It is not wise to count your chickens before they hatch". That said, it would not be wise for Tinydancer, others, and myself to reveal GLOs until we've been told Yes we are going to be initiated on such and such date. :D

Personally, I do not see any reason to delete the thread b/c rush & bid day etc, for most GLOs doesn't start until mid to late August and for others not until September.
Lets evaluate the AI threads after September when most of the prospective alum initiates will know exactly where they stand before threads are arbitrary ereased/deleted of of the Alum Involvement forum. In my case I will be working with the advising team and going thru the prospective alumna initiate program so I cannot reveal the GLO choice that was mutual.

Ok I'm done and off my soap box now.;)

[fuzzie]

I sincerely hope that this is a joke that is going over all of our heads. If it is not, I'm truly disgusted by your threat to abuse your power as the forum moderator, Tom. If tinydancer does not want to reveal her choice in her quest for AI, then that is her choice, not yours. You can not force her to do so just because you want to know and think banter in here annoying. No rules of GC have been violated in this thread.

Please also refer to the many other threads above mine in the thread as they also convey what I'm thinking right now very well.

Sorry for the hijack, tinydancer, best of luck in your AI quest and we hope you can reveal your choice soon, but do it in your own time.

I just hope tinydancer knows that the majority of us are very supportive of her, including us moderators, and that not all of us are jerks. :rolleyes:

I guess my tone was not conveyed well either. I totally understand that tone is hard to convey on-line...I try to take care in all of my posts to be as pc as possible, and consider everyone's feelings...I said I was surprised, but that doesn't mean I think someone who took his post seriously was in the wrong. I've just gotten the impression that no one takes Tom seriously when he says things like that...there's obviously something else going on I know nothing about.

OTW-
No offense was meant by my post, and I apologize if I hurt your feelings-it was not intended. Mea Culpa. I'll do better next time.

edited to say - I just realized that this is my first GC misunderstanding. It wasn't fun. I apologize again to anyone who was offended by my original post.

[SmartBlondeGPhB]

I'd have to agree with others on here. I thought his post was very serious. Since I wasn't on for a couple of days, I have the benefit of reading it all at once and seeing the whole thing and knowing not to "stress" but I would have if I had seen it right away.

Considering it's only June, we probably have a while to wait on this one.....

[CutiePie2000]

Hi all,
I just wanted to chime in as well. July-August can be a quiet time for alumnae; people go away on holidays, etc. Hang in there tinydancer, things will pick up again in the fall! We will all wait for your big announcement when you can shout it from the rooftops and everyone can know your happiness. Until then, hang in there (I am a bit of a cautious person and I believe in the "not counting the proverbial chickens before they've hatched philosophy").

Sending you supportive hugs across the border...... :D

[GPhiBLtColonel]

...school start date is just around the corner so that means some news should be happening soon -- right tinydancer? -- how have you been handling the waiting this summer? Have you run into any of the ladies you met earlier? Have you been in written contact? Please tell us EVERYTHING!!!:)

I think that it's ADPi as well -- although there's a little bit of me that hopes that the Gryffindor Lion is for Phi Mu!!

[APhiAngel]

I am rooting for alpha Phi, but I think that it's ADPi as well. Good luck Lizz, keep us posted.

[JohnsDGsweethrt]

I have always thought it to be Alpha Phi b/c of the scarlet/bordeaux color :)

[AUDeltaGam]

Though I secretly hope for DG, I think it's either Pi Beta Phi or Zeta Tau Alpha!

I completely agree! And hopefully SOON, we will get to know what the lucky sorority is! :D

[AAgammagirl]

i've always thought that it may be Gamma Phi Beta too, but i figured i was just biased.;)

[GeekyPenguin]

I've always thought it was SKEPi. ;)

Seriously, my guesses are DG or APhi because they have so many AIs on here! I always think it's Gamma Phi and it never (well, hardly ever) is. :p

[KDShan]

my guess is for Gamma Phi Beta...I think it's pretty obvious: Gamma Phi=GryFfindor (G Phi....GF....GriFfindore) I'm hoping that makes sense typed out like it does in my brain.

[tinydancer]

I just now got back from vacation and I am LMAO at these posts!! Actually, a couple of people HAVE guessed correctly. OF COURSE I am not going to tell you who is right. When you find out, you can say "Oh what a good girl am I!!"

I've been doing ok with the waiting. Just starting rehearsal for a musical, so that keeps me busy. Just waiting for the Aug. newsletter to come out.....;)

Okay, I don't know anything for sure. But my guess is that tinydancer will get to share in our love for the Syracuse Triad. :)
I hope that I am right. :D

I hope you're right too! :D it could go either way!

Tinydancer, whichever sorority it is best of luck and I can't wait to find out who the lucky sorority is!

[texas*princess]

I'm still secretly hoping that the lucky sorority is Alpha Delta Pi :D It would be so awesome to have tinydancer as a sister!!!

Even if it's not ADPi, we'll still be sisters through Gamma Chi (GC :p )

[pinkyphimu]

i just read my first harry potter book, so i feel like i am completely "in" with this thread now!! i really do wish that glos had sorting hats!!! rush would be so much less stressful!!!

any news t.d.?

[tinydancer]

FINALLY something new to say!! I just heard that the first alum. even will probably be on Sept. 20!! I am so excited!! Don't know how I am going to wait that long. Actually, I go back to work on Aug. 11, so work will probably make the time go faster.

Maybe I will finally get to meet the alum president. She was not able to attend the 2 events I have been to.

Doin' a happy dance!!

Okay, so have you gotten a newsletter or an invite or anything yet? Sept 20 (Miss America pageant day, I might add!) is just around the corner -- is there a theme to the event that day? what are you going to wear? Fill us in with all the details!! How are you staying sane till then????:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

[tinydancer]

Have not gotten the invite yet - my "source" says it will be around the end of the month. I have no clue what I am going to wear (par for the course!). All I know is that it is probably going to be at the chapter house at SMU.

Keeping sane??? Well, I'm in a musical that opens Aug. 21 (Kiss Me, Kate) so the rehearsals are at least keeping me busy. Also, I am sad to say, I am writing this from my school library - yep, teachers report back today.:( Boooooo.....

[aopirose]

Well, there goes my ADII theory. ;)

[ladyj39]

Not APhi either :(

But I do think I know who it is now! :D

Good Luck with both the play and getting your bid tinydancer!

[bsp-mich24]

Hmm I have no clue which GLO....but curious to know what the theme is for 9/20.:)

[tinydancer]

I finally got an invitation to the next alum event. It is NEXT Tues.!! It sounds cute - there are going to be alums at 5 different Starbucks locations around Dallas. You pick one and show up!! I am planning to go the one that the president is hosting, so I can finally meet her!!

Only a week away - I don't have time to get nervous, but I have no idea what to wear!!!!

[SmartBlondeGPhB]

That's an awesome idea..............

Good Luck! I can't wait to hear how it goes for you.

I have been waiting all summer for news like this from you tinydancer! Yay!! What an interesting social event idea too! I haveno idea what to tell you to wear -- what is the weather like and what time of day is the event?

I AM SOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED FOR YOU!!!!!

[tinydancer]

Well, it's Texas, it's September, it's probably going to be hot!! I think I have a skirt and top that are fall-ish colors, but are lightweight.

Who knows - could be monsooning that day!:p

[GPhiBLtColonel]

HMMMMMMMMMMMMM......since y'all are meeting at Starbuck's, how about some MOCHA colored linen slacks, a CREAM colored linen top, and some COFFEE colored strappy sandals! You'd look delectable!

:D :D :D

[Jill1228]

WOOO HOOO! You are gonna be one SESSY MAMA! :D

[tinydancer]

Y'all are too funny!! Thanks for making me laugh - it keeps me from obsessing about the party!!

(well, from obsessing too much anyway);)
