  6. Mindy this is such a teaser! AHHH! And you may have expanded on some of the things in the newer posts but I'm reading them in order so right now I'm just teased. I like your auro a lot and wish it was back here :( But you have a new appreciation for Delta Pi Kappas? Did you meet some not so nice Kappas from somewhere else?
