Iotas at Installs

Time flies. Before everyone actually realized, we had our last chapter last week and soon enough, it was time for our annual Installs. We all had a fun evening to officially welcome "Aquilina" and "Reaper" into the syzterhood and to celebrate a year of hard work that everyone has put in.


It was a brilliant idea (by Vitalia, I think) to suggest that we should all wear red this year. All the sisters looked extremely nice and Sigmalicious in their red dresses, while the neos looked adorable and fresh ;) in their white attire. Although, Miki and I were stopped multiple times at the restaurant and were asked about who were were and what we were doing (imagine a room full of Asian girls wearing red, I'm not surprised that people were curious, lol)

We started of the evening with a sister event in Riverview. PE Misaki made an adorable and creative video clip to celebrate and welcome the two outstanding girls of the Iota Phi class. Misaki's voice and various clips of Aquilina filled the room with laughters (only because we love you, Aquilina <3).

Next, we had Starlit and Allegro, who have always been famous for their lyrics writing and rapping skills, presented us with a rap song written by themselves.  I wish I had gotten a video of this. However, by popular request, they will be filming an official MV of the song sometime soon :)

Last but not least, we ended the sister event with a senior send-off slideshow that was put together using messages from each of us given to the seniors. The messages and pictures reminded all of us of all the great memories that we shared and all the worked that the seniors had done for Iota Sigmas. We couldn't have been here without you guys. We hoped that you enjoyed the slideshow and that everytime you watch it, you will want to visit us :) (Thanks for the amazing sense of humor of Aranea and Miki and their hilarious messages, social chairs have failed to bring the seniors to tears, which totally was our original purpose, lol)


At around 8PM, we headed out to Bistro 135 in East Rochester for the long-awaiting dinner. We all had a great time bonding with each other over delicious dinner and relaxing atmosphere.

We also handed out sister awards and senior gifts. Sister awards is always my most favorite part of Installs because it shows how much we understand each other, pay attention to what each other does and appreciate each other strengths.

For this year senior gift, we made glass vases with picture collages of the seniors. We hope that everytime you use the vase for whatever purpose, you will think of us too (hehehe, we are determined to haunt your life in every way possible). Hope you all liked the gifts!

Aquilina and I did some magic trick and treated everyone to personalized fortune cookies as desserts for everyone. Okay, some were cute, some were .... stupid, and some didn't have a point, but you girls all liked the idea I hope.

Soon enough, it was picture time. Thank you so much for our pro photographer Comet and Forte for taking beautiful pictures of us, and bearing the cold weather why the rest of the chapter cuddled under the heater. All the pictures came out extremely nice. We all looked pretty and happy :) For more pictures, please stalk our facebooks :)

Every parties eventually have to come to an end. It was a great night spending with everyone and I really hope that everyone had a fabulous time. Thank you so much Priscilla and Michelle for taking you time and joining us. It was so great getting to hang out with you guys.

Installs was a nice ending to a very Sigmalicious year. We have been through a lot this year. There were good times and bad times, but we made it though as sisters. Sticks and stones can't break our bones, they just make us harder, better, faster, stronger ;) Let's keep it up and try even harder next year <3


Again, welcome Reaper and Aquilina,and congratulations on graduation Seniors <3


Oh and good luck with finals everyone. You can do it! Summer is verrrryyyy close.
