The Grays are always so much fun and so welcoming! I was told so many times that I was Green (and some people still do :p) and I had a hard time deciding as a Novice. I didn't have the opportunity to guest back then so I didn't get to guest with the Greens. In the end the Grays were the best fit for me! I love all of my Gray sisters dearly and I don't know what I would've done the past nearly 5 years without them.

The Grays are always so much fun and so welcoming! I was told so many times that I was Green (and some people still do :p) and I had a hard time deciding as a Novice. I didn't have the opportunity to guest back then so I didn't get to guest with the Greens. In the end the Grays were the best fit for me! I love all of my Gray sisters dearly and I don't know what I would've done the past nearly 5 years without them.

Not really. I can be diplomatic when I need to though. :p

I'm not into politics or discussing them.

How was your time as Citizen/Novice/Accepted?

My time as citizen was so awesome! I had my first sister, Miridyth, with me during that time and we had a lot of fun. We were the ones that started the "WAS" table in the tavern and had a blast in real life as wenches!

My time as Novice was another amazing time here. They made Miridy and I roommates and we caused all kinds of havoc.
