Mattie & Kyle came into town from AZ this past weekend and Chele pulled together a lunch at the Razoo's in Irving. Deb and her daughter came up from Temple. Kara and Eric, Kris, me, Chele, Scott and their daughter all popped in from around the metroplex. There were oysters, crawfish, fried pickles and green beans all around! It was great to have Mattie back on TX soil.
Reminder: next gathering is planned for Friday, March 20th at the Glass Cactus in Grapevine. A GNO with your sisters!!
Kara is working on a gathering for the families at the Frisco ballpark in April.
CampAPhi is July 31st - August 2nd this year

Weekend Update
Initiation weekend was a blast with a downside. Upon waking up at our hotel in Greenville on Saturday morning, Deb received a phone call from Kara telling us that one of our sisters had been in a car accident on the way to initiation the night before. Here we were singing and humming and one of our sisters was in distress. She was so very close to the Phi house when a truck t-boned her vehicle. Please keep the Blalock family in your prayers (Leann is Scott's sister and Nicole's sister in law).
I have not heard an update on Leann this week but I think she was having surgery yesterday in Tyler?
There were so many alums at Initiation this year. We initiated 15 (included 5 alum initiates). The chapter is at quota and the house is currently full but all rooms are single occupancy. It is my understanding that is about to change and they will double up next semester. The house looks good. If you haven't been back since the 80's - it is so worth the trip. The bones are the same but that is about all that hasn't changed. The Mexican fiesta went well. Thanks to all the alums that brought something or contributed toward the food. Except for using toilet paper as paper towels - the meal was a success (someone needs to put Paper Towels on the "needs" list for the house). Seven of us stayed at the Quality Inn in Greenville afterwards (some of you may remember this place as the old Holiday Inn famous for hot tubbing in 90's- it is where we found the tiny kittens one night). We planned to party at the hotel bar but it closed at midnight so we just hung out in one of the rooms and talked til 2am. Saturday, some of the group parted and the rest of us checked into another hotel (in Irving). The five of us met up with Chele, Dawn, Felicia (all the way from CA) and her friend at Lone Star Park for a few hours of very cold horse racing. When the air was visibly cold, it was off to get some Hot Hooters for dinner. When the five of us got back to the hotel, it was obvious that everyone was ready to get some rest so the conversations ended well before midnight (did I mention Deb was the first to bed both nights just like at camp?). We got up Sunday morning and had breakfast together at the hotel, packed up and headed our separate ways.
I think having a long initiation weekend together was a hit so look for an evite next October when we do it again!
