This week, I learned that one of my sorority sisters was having a terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad week. The details aren't mine to share, but it suffices to say that she is faced with three or four major life events -- some wonderful, some terrible-- within the span of a week. Within a few hours of learning of our friend's bad week, several of our sorority sisters had banded together via Facebook to send cards and flowers, and generally offer up prayers and good wishes. Some of us haven't seen each other in nearly a decade, but we immediately assembled (albeit virtually) to send good wishes to our sister.
Now, I hate to be one of those gals who is all "Woo-hoo! Let's all go Greek!" because I'm well past sorority age. Still, there is a beauty in knowing that there is a group of a couple hundred women with whom I've shared the misery and glory of rush skits, formal dances, and a shared set of ideals.
So, in honor of my
Phi Mu sisters, I offer up a virtual toast. The drink? A
Pink Carnation, natch.
The Pink Carnation
(recipe courtesy idrink)
2 parts cranberry juice
2 parts grapefruit juice
1 part vodka
Cheers, y'all!

1 cheers!:
I'm a Phi Mu, too! Love how we can bring it back after years and years.
