A sorority is born: June 25, 2010
Now everyone knows to be initiated into a Sorority - you must "Rush"
To rush you must do the following:
Take this picture . . .and create something with it.
A banner, a hanging, an ATC,
a piece of jewelry, a tag, a card . . . anything!
Print the picture and place it in a frame -
it doesn't have to be fancy!
Just use your imagination. The possibilities are endless.
You have inspiration all around you.
After all . . . that's what our blogs do - they inspire us.
This can be as simple or as elaborate as you like.
Then take a picture of your creation.
There are no rules.
Well - except one.
You must be in the picture too.
You can always take a self-portrait in a mirror.
Because we all want to see who are "Sisters" are!
Then post your picture the day of our Sorority party.
So as a PLEDGE, I decided to make a RUSH RIBBON for our party!
The ribbon itself, combines the Sorority's favorites of soft pink, black & white zebra stripes, and strands of pearls. Pink represents our soft feminine side, while the animal print reflect our wild and strong sides, while the classic pearls represent our collective pearls of wisdom!
Starting from the top...you will see the Bloggerrett Sorority Sister's Crown...
because we are all...PRINCESSES of quite a lot!
From the crown you will see the Bloggerette Sorority charms...
the Woman's Silhouette charm represents all the Sisters...
the lock is for protecting all of our Secrets...
and finally, a key allowing entrance to our Sorority!
Directly below the crown, you will see the Bloggerette Sorority classic, Sister's photo...
which is framed in soft pink glitter...cause we all love a little sparkle! Hanging from the Sister's photo are the Bloggerette Sororitydog tags...with more bling!
Next you will find my Pledge Photo, sitting on a medallion of more Bloggerette Sorority ribbons.
AND finally...hanging from my Pledge Photo medallion is a charm chain that is woven with more ribbons and pearls. This is where I want to hang all of my individual charms as they represent my interests and Sorority Sister charm swaps :) For now...I have hung a BIG HEART charm (front and center ;), a FLEUR de LEI (cause I'm a Frenchy ;), a PROTECTIVE ANGEL (to watch over all my Sorority Sisters ;), a MESSENGER BIRD (to always spread good thoughts to all ;), and a PAIR OF WINGS (to give flight to all my hearts desire and dreams ;).
In time I want to add more charms as I find ones that I really like, for instance, money for charity, books for reading, pens for journaling, etc.
Hope my RUSH RIBBON inspires the rest of my Sisters to have fun with the RUSH PARTY and I can't wait to see what everyone else has created ;)

That's such an interesting way to use the photo. Miniturising the pic somehow makes it look more intriguing. I love all the charms and the reasons you used them. xx

Roberta - I am sitting here with my mouth open. THAT is to die for! Each and every little piece is just one more magical thread holding our sorority together! I LOVE IT! My gosh - that is truly one of a kind!
. . . .I'm thinkin' . . . I may have to borrow some of your ideas. That is truly something I would like to make also.
LOVE THIS! (shut your mouth Karen)
