Times as Crazy as the Weather!

Hey guys! We've been seeing some crazy, quick-changing weather in the past week and a half since I last wrote... It may be sunny and beautiful one day, but you'll have to put on those rainboots the next! It's unpredictable, but at least it keeps things interesting!

I've had a crazybusy week! Let's see, a quick rundown...

I last wrote early on Ash Wednesday morning. That night, we had our ΣΔΤ (that's Sigma Delta Tau) New Member meeting, which involved elections. I am now ΣΔΤ's New Member Class President (more informally, Pledge Class President)! We've got a lot of stuff going on in our group... that Friday night was our sleepover at the house, which was an awesome way to get to know the other new girls, my sisters! Also, we sent out newsletters to some of our alumnae... so we're already hard at work for our sorority! (There's a picture of some of my sisters stuffing envelopes.) Saturday was Sophomore Night; the sophomores planned a surprise top secret activity for us that was really fun AND helped us get to know the sophomores better! All of the activities we're doing really make me feel important to my sorority, and I know that by the time I'm a full-fledged member, I'll know my sisters really well.

On a non-sorority note, my parents came to visit and have lunch with me on Saturday. It was really good hanging out with them, and lunch was delicious (Copeland's Cheesecake Bistro...yumm). They didn't stay too long, because we just have so much going on... I miss them already! Sunday was really busy - lots of homework, a USG Public Affairs Committee meeting, Mass, dinner at the ΣΔΤ house, and a meeting for Crawfest Board.

Monday I had lunch in Bruff with a prospective student, and I took her to see my room and meet some of my Wall friends after. I love being a Green Wave Ambassador, because I get to show people the school and friends that are so awesome and important to me. If you're ever here for a visit, let me know!

Almost every night of this week, there was something going on for my sorority. To save you some reading time, I'll just list the names: Study Hours (Monday), dinner on the front lawn of the house (Tuesday), New Member Meeting (Wednesday), and Jungle Mixer with KA (Friday)... a mix of serious and social events. I can already tell that being in a sorority is going to become a big part of my life, but I'm not worried about it taking over my life. It's all a matter of time management and creative scheduling! (The picture on the left is of my KA friend Jacque, myself, and my sophomore sorority sister Erin at the Jungle Mixer. You can see a bunch of the wild costumes in the picture on the right.)

And now, I'm packing to head off on my New Member Class Retreat! More later! ♥
