Move in Day!

The countdowns have hit zero. The parents are on their way back to the burbs. The owls are in the nest. Move in day.

The line was out the door as 53 girls moved into the Chi Omega house today at noon. The halls were packed and the hugs were endless as sisters were reunited after a long summer apart.

The love we had for each other has only grown and today, we picked up right where we left off in May. Though our reunions over the summer were short and sweet, nothing compares to finally being united under the same roof.

We are babies no more as this house has officially become our home—a landmark in our hearts forever. In this past year, best friends have been made, lives have been shared and we’re pretty sure that we’ve already picked out our bridesmaids, crossing our fingers that there’s room for 45.

Tonight, as we lay in our new beds for the very first time, excited for the year to come, we have no idea what the future has in store for us as individual members and as a sorority all together.

And tomorrow, this place we wake up in is our new home. This will always be our home. Though we may not know it yet, 907 South Wright will hold a special place in our hearts forever.

The chaos is over, the meetings have been met, and only 53 Chi O’s and one amazing housemother are left. It is officially the end of Chi Omega Move in Day 2013 and as for the rest, it’s only the beginning.
