Pledge Mom to the Ψ class of Alpha Delta Chi this semester that is upon us, Corvette is going to rock both the pledge's world and ours as actives. Corvette is the kind of girl that means what she says and says what she means. Her passion and loyalty runs deep for this place and I have always been inspired by her heart for ΑΔΧ. Living with this girl for a year I got to see first hand that she puts others before herself and is always serving Omega whether by tidying the living room or getting the TP hookup from her parents. My favorite memory of Corvette would have to be the evil scowl she gave me, in the midst of my severe JA syndrome, after I made her butt spell something as a pledge. I pretty sure she and the rest of her pledge class hated me until they became active. Maybe even after as well. However, we are thick as thieves now. Corv and I have had several heart-to-hearts and I love that we can be completely real and honest with each other. I've always believed in this girl, that is why it was so easy to pass off House Manager to her and as I watch move into a position where she gets to raise up the next generation of ΑΔΧ, I know that this place will never fail. God is going to use her to change lives. I consider myself blessed to be able to call this girl a friend; do yourself a favor and get to know this girl. It might be one of the best decisions you ever make.

Missing living in Omega because I don't get to see this girl often enough.

Fav Quotes: "ΑΔΧ or DIE!" "I don't think you can explain how Christian faith works. It's a mystery. And I love this about Christian spirituality. It cannot be explained, and yet it is beautiful and true. It is something you feel, and it comes form the soul."
Fav Verse: "For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart." Heb 4:12.

This Sigma is way too cool for school. Every time I find myself at the Alpha house she always gives me a huge hug and wants to know how I am doing. This girl is so genuine and has a heart of gold. Lucky for Reed (ΑΓΩ), she has given that heart of hers to him. Jaguar has held some great positions in the sorority including courtesy chair & secretary. She owned the read back! Currently, she is serving us on Exec Board as our beloved VP and you better believe Retreat and Banquet is going to rule this semester. My favorite memory of Jaguar is the random time I went over to her old apartment with some Sigmas and one or two ΑΓΩ guys to chill in her spa. I just remember feeling totally out of place but Jag still made me feel welcome. This girl loves ΑΔΧ and everyone in it but more importantly she loves God and it shows. I can only imagine the great things this girl is going to do in the name of the Lord. She is completely inspirational and one of the coolest people I have ever met, so get to know her!

This is me shouting out to you Jag. Word up!

Fav Quotes: "GPS! God Powered System. Let the Spirit be your guide." "Dude, it hecka thmells like thinamons in here."
Fav Verses: "Look at the nations and watch - and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told" Hab. 1:5. "Everything is permissible- but not everything is beneficial. Everything is permissible- but not everything is constructive" 1 Cor. 10:23.

I'd like to take you back to a Spring in the not too far past. The year was 2005 and the location was the Freedom of Speech Steps. A shy girl walks up and a newly active bright eyed girl hesitantly asks, "Would you be interested in rushing a Christian sorority?" It was at that point that I said, "Yes!" and took one of those hot pink rush fliers out of Flamingo's hand. I cannot thank you enough for being out there on those steps all by yourself, Mings, to hand me the very paper that would change my life. This girl hands down is one of my favorite people and she locked that spot down the minute she still worked retreat entertainment, crutches in hand. I've definitely always looked up to this girl as a role model in the sorority, irregardless of how crazy and loud she can get at any given moment. She has been challenged in many ways over the past several semesters from knee surgery, to family drama, to jaw surgery but never let that stop her from being a great friends and that person that will hold you accountable even when you don't want to be. Mings has served in her fair share of positions during her tour in ΑΔΧ and is currently serving on exec as our beloved Devotional Chair. God has surely gifted this girl with knowledge and a passion for the Word and furthermore has blessed her with an ability to share those qualities with such a realness. If I could sum up Mings in one word it would be 'real.' Being real has been her platform throughout her activehood, applying it to her own life and encouraging the rest of us to stop being phonies as well. This girl lives, breathes and dreams ΑΔΧ and without a doubt will be buried with that active pin proudly over her heart. I can honestly say that Flamingo is one of my best friends in the sorority, she always has a vested interest in my life and is always there to encourage me. This would be a sick, sad ΑΔΧ world if Mings wasn't in it. If you haven't had the wonderful opportunity to become good friends with Mings then get on it. She graduates in the Spring.

Honoring a girl who truly bleeds flame and blue. Here's to you Mings.

Fav Verses: "My lover spoke and said to me, 'Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, and come with me." Song of Songs 2:10; "Therefore I am now going to allure her; I will lead her into the desert and speak tenderly to her." Hosea 2:14

Goodness Rarri, you're such a romantic! Typing those verses got me all warm and fuzzy inside which is very appropriate because thinking of you gives me the same feelings. Oh, this girl is so amazing I hardly know where to start. I believe my first memory of this girl was at a CRU bonfire at which I was a new JA out trying to recruit. I also remember her big sis staking a claim out on her and if anyone got in the way you would be pummeled. I had the joy of living with this girl in the Omega house and literally there was never a dull moment. Her smile lit that house up like a firecracker and it was such a blessing to live with a girl as encouraging as her. She has really stepped up in the sorority and is currently serving on exec as our treasurer and I easily see her never letting this sorority die. This girl got thrown through a window fighting for this sorority; there is no questioning her loyalty to this place. She is so personable and has a heart for loving people. God truly blessed ΑΔΧ when this girl accepted our bid.

This girl survived my severe JA syndrome so how could I not absolutely love her?

First and foremost, this girl here is my gran lil and she rocks the random family like none other. I've had the special privilege to get to know this girl really well this semester and it's really cool to know she has as much pride in ΑΔΧ and the random family as I do. She is so creative and I look forward to see what she does as Jewelry Chair this next semester. My favorite memory of this girl was during her pledge semester when we had a random family dinner at Uno's in Fashion Valley. My big, Peebs, and I were all pretty much acting stupid and I don't think Dior knew how to react (she was so quiet and cute as a pledge + I don't think she knew me very well since I was inactive) which is strange because Dior knows how to get stupid with the best of us. We all know her infamous dance moves....somebody get those on film, post it to youtube and I'll get it on the blog, asap! This girl is such a blessing and I know she'll raise up my great gran lil with love and teach her how us randoms do things; putting God first and the rest follows.

Fav Verse: "Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - thing about such things." Phil. 4:8

The fiercest phiphy I've ever met, hands down. Can I just take you back to the rubber band civil war, when this girl dropped the rubber bands and just threw down, taking out any and all southies with a dropkick! Her energy and spunk can bring anyone one out of a funk, not to mention she can bake with the best of them. You will never see this girl without her camera which is a fantastic thing, after all she is our historian. My very first memory of this girl had to be when the phiphy girls were rehearsing an entertainment in the Omega living room and they asked me my opinion and LV was all smiles and shakin' what her mama gave her. There really isn't a time I can think of when this girl isn't smiling, what an encouragement she always is and ΑΔΧ would be such a sad and boring place if she weren't around. I look forward to watching her grow in the semesters to come and build up this Delta chapter.

Now a quote from under the tracks...
"If I could be any ΑΓΩ boy, I'd be Lalo so I could date Louis Vuitton."

Ditto.

I had the immense pleasure of living right across the hall from this lovely gal for a short but super sweet time. So many things about this girl that I love that I don't even know where to start. How about from superficial to deep....first off she has the largest collection of mac makeup and nail polish that I've ever seen, she has a poster of Adam Brody on her wall (at least she did when I lived in Omega), and she brought home an autographed photo of Hilary Duff for the refrigerator. All that stuff is fun but this girl is so much more. Something that has stood out to me is her strength of character. In the short time that I've known her she has dealt with some severe situations but has persevered and never lost sight of God. She is beautiful inside and out; but don't let the beauty fool you because ask any of the JA's, she is the "meanest active" ever! Mou Rou has served ΑΔΧ as our Alumni Chair and Srg. @ Arms, where she organized probably one of the most successful alumni events in ΑΔΧ history (with the help of Miata, of course) and regulated the meetings like a pro. Currently, she has taken on the mighty task of Omega House Manager and PMA. I cannot be more thrilled that Mou Rou will be assisting raising up the Ψ class to new heights, holding true to what a Delta girl really is.

Note to self: hang out at Omega more next semester.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the academy because something that I told this girl during our coke date inspired her and she decided pledging was the thing for her. Thank God because I don't know what ΑΔΧ would be without her. She is hilarious, fun, and a dancing fool! My first memory of this girl was all the actives giving me the nudge because she has a nose ring and we obviously were going to be best friends on the sheer fact that we rock the piercings. Later she got a lip ring and I couldn't have been more thrilled. She has served as our Rush Chair (Versace is wearing the tank she designed in the previous entry), Publicity, and currently serves as our Missionary Chair. I would have to say though one of her greatest contributions to ΑΔΧ was activating Bewah into the Delta family. Bewah, a small stuffed lovable creature in a red tank who lives in Dip's Ugg boots, has become the center of controversy. Dip has to keep a close eye on the lil girl to make sure Mings doesn't rips it's eyes out. Watch out ΑΓΩ, Bewah might give you a run for your money for the next sweetheart award (which we all know you want as much as you deny it).

Get a hole in your face! Then you can be as cool as Dip and I.

A phiphy girl to the fullest, Versace has become a sweet attribute to ΑΔΧ. My first memories of this girl are from the living room of Omega, while I spent my inactive Monday nights doing homework and watching Monday Night Football. I remember thinking this girl is hardcore with her heavy eyeliner and choppy hair cut and we will definitely be friends. I had the pleasure just the other day to sit down and sip ultra hip beverages at the Living Room. We talked about everything from ΑΔΧ to ΑΓΩ to boys in general to school to God's plan for our lives. It was sweet and this girl is super legit. She currently serves as our Alumni Chair and I see potential for future leadership positions. It makes me smile to see this girl grow and it is also an encouragement to me to know that these young girls are the future of this sorority.

To Versace, like the picture shows, you truly are a 10.
