Daughter's 08 Recruitment

[SWTXBelle]

Here's hoping for Lilly, too.

I hear you, 08Rushmom, believe me! My daughter was told that she would receive a phone call by a certain time on bid day if she did not get a bid. It seemed like my phone rang a million times that day, and every time my heart just jumped. I wasn't worth anything until the appointed time for the "bad phone call" had passed! Of course it is harder for the girls but that doesn't mean it's easy for us! Fingers crossed here...

[08rushmom]

Yes, same thing here! Daughter now waiting and hoping no phone call comes!

She felt good about preference party and knows in her heart Lilly is the one for her. If no bid, she will try again. Yes, she suicided.

[FSUZeta]

no phone calls, no phone calls, no phone calls......... and wishes for a lilly bid!

[Benzgirl]

Hoping she becomes a new Lily. Is today Bid Day?

[08rushmom]

Well--all I know is that she was too excited to do much but say:


I






























got a

































bid!

and I have a















Kappa Kappa Gamma kid!

More later. I am sure I will talk to her at some point--at least I hope so.

[SWTXBelle]

Yeah for your daughter and Kappa!

eta - you may wish to contact a local florist (or one on-line for that matter) and send her some congratulatory irises. Check out www.coolclassicgifts.com or www.joetoga.com for neat gifts if you want to send her a package. (I would stay away from anything with a crest until after she is initiated - I'm not sure about Kappa's rules about that, but I know many GLOs have a "no crest until initiation" rule. Enjoy!) I just noticed the "KKG Mom" keychain on the joetoga site - how cool is that?

[08rushmom]

Thanks SWTx! I will do that. Also, I had no idea about the flower thing--kindof funny that Iris is Lilly's flower!

Right now, Michael's Craft Stores have the special Kappa blue-on-blue silk irises on sale!

And 08rushmom, eBay is your friend for both new and used sorority items! Congratulations to your daughter-Monmouth Duo rules! (Pi Phi and KKG were founded in the same place)

Yay for KKG!

We are also a Monmouth Duo family but the reverse of yours. Go to the Kappa forum and click on owl, key, fleurdelis/iris threads. Lots of great finds with Kappa symbols have been posted.

Now in exchange, YOU need to tell me where you see random arrow and carnation stuff. I'm always on the lookout.

[carnation]

Me? I guess so, I don't think rushmom is Greek!

Let's see..did I tell you to search on eBay for Julie Eisenhower crewel? She has a wine carnation for January's birthflower.

[08rushmom]

You are right--I am not greek. Learning alot, so any helpful hints are so appreciated. I want to be supportive, but don't know the drill. Thanks again for the wishes and the help!

[alum]

Woops, I misread!

ANYWAY, when I was in school, unitiated Kappas COULD wear the word Kappa in baseball script, we COULD wear greek letters ie KKG. We could NOT wear our crest. Our pledge program lasted for an entire semester.

If you are a cross-stitcher, I have tons and tons of KKG-themed charts.

[Tom Earp]

Congratulations to Lily and KKG!

Don't worry about any drill (), just be supportive and happy for her.

I was the first and only Greek in my family including cousins, but was supported by my parents when I started a local and they got to know a lot of the guys and thought the world of them!

Congrats to your Daughter and Kappa. I didn't say it earlier, but am familiar with the school she attends and she will be a great addition to the chapter.
