Sisters

I'm an only child.

So the only sisters I have are the ones I pledged allegiance to in college. That oath was taken 13 years-ago in Dallas as a Tri-Delt at Southern Methodist University.

I have to admit I wasn't the best Tri-Delta in the house. For some reason Monday evening chapter meetings became difficult for me. I was either working or involved in some new internship. My senior year I went inactive and after graduation I lost track of most of my sisters as I began moving around the country.

It wasn't until I was living in New York City that I found that one of my pledge sisters was working at a law firm there. I contacted her, and she said a group of seven to twelve of SMU Deltas get together once a month in the city for dinner and that I should join. I've been involved in their group for about two months now. I have great fun announcing when I have a "Dallas Delta Dinner." It is difficult to coordinate schedules, a little more than when we were college gals, so we miss a month here and there. We also try to some other fun outings.

Here we are a few years ago at Silverman's Farm in Easton and

at  Jones' Family Farms   in Shelton. Hey girls, its almost pumpkin pickin' time again! Let's Go!

On our trip to Connecticut we also ate brunch at the River House Tavern in Westport.

Now I'd like to congratulate one of my pledge sisters who is in all of the above pictures, Betsy Wilson.

She and her husband Doug, who also went to SMU, just had a beautiful baby boy, Griffin. They live in Fairfield County.

Does this make me an aunt?
