Part of It

"First you’re a part of it, then it becomes a part of you."

This perfectly describes me and AOII.  From the day I began Rush I knew I wanted to be a part of something.  Something bigger than me.  I found that in AOII, the only non-local sorority on my campus.  At the time I thought “how cool would it be to find and know AOIIs all over the country?” … I wanted to be a part of that! 

Twelve years later, I realize how big a part of me AOII has become.  To have such an immediate and strong bond with women I have never met before.  To be able to share stories about recruitment, sisterhood, and college life, no matter the campus or year, because we have a common thread.  To move 700+ miles from where I became an AOII, to have that sisterhood in Wilmington is a dream come true.

I am so proud to be a part of AOII, and AOII will ALWAYS be a part of me.

PS- I found the quote here.

Founders’ Day – Zeta Psi

Last weekend Rhonda, Carol, Vicki and I (along with our wonderful husbands) made the trip to Greenville to celebrate the Zeta Psi chapter’s Founders’ Day.  We had a wonderful lunch at Chico’s with Carol’s daughter Maggie, who is an AOII, and some of her sisters.  Then we spent a few minutes (and a few dollars) at the UBE. 

While Rhonda and Roy (her hubby) went off to watch the baseball game, the rest of us and Maggie piled into Carol’s SUV for a tour around the ECU campus.  Zee (my hubby) and I have never been on campus before, but it was fun to get the current tour (Maggie) and the “reminiscing” tour (Carol, Vicki & Dave). 

We met Rhonda and Roy back at the AOII house and took a tour of the house.  It was so much fun to tour with Zeta Psi alumnae!! 

The basketball game was next; we did not win, but it was a great game!
Go Pirates!!

ECU BBall

Back to the house for a spaghetti dinner with the sisters.  And some yummy cake!! Then some photos in front of the house.

Alums! Alumnae :) 

I have to say I had a great time celebrating with my Zeta Psi sisters, and I love the welcoming atmosphere they always have when we visit.  Hope we can do more things soon with our closest collegiate chapter, as well as the GGAAC! :)
