Last week was Big/Little Sister Week in my sorority. Every day I'd get a package full of goodies delivered by some of my favorite fraternity guys. Each gift had a theme (beach day, sleepover, etc.) and a clue about the identity of my Big, but she was really sneaky and gave me fake clues! We had our Reveal on Thursday night, and all of us got to meet our families (Big, GrandBig, and Great GrandBigs)... some of us are even twins! Most of us were given costumes from our Bigs, so we either matched our families or were wearing something that has been passed down through our families from year to year. (There's a picture of the bottom half of my family: my twin Sam and I with our Big, Erin. We were the Hannah Montana twins, and the letters on our tshirts had our "family fabric.")I also told y'all that my mom was coming in for a visit... For Christmas I had given her two tickets to the Michael Buble concert in the New Orleans Arena, so she decided to take me as her "date" for the night. We went shopping together, had dinner at Superior Grill, went to the concert, and spent the night in her hotel room... sometimes it's so good to just get off campus for awhile to spend time with your family! I just wish my dad could have come too - my parents and I are really close, and there are times when I really miss them. One of the good things about Tulane for me is that I'm only about three hours away from home, so it's not too much of a strain for my parents and friends to drive over for a visit.
(And now for a corny segue...) Speaking of visit, we are going to be having a LOT of visitors on campus this weekend for the first Honors Weekend! Spring is the busy season for GWAs (Green Wave Ambassadors) because we have lots of activities planned for admitted prospective students - Destination Tulane throughout March and April, two Honors Weekends in March, HomeRun in April, and LOTS of daily tours as people are making their college decisions. I definitely recommend visiting each school you apply to, because choosing a university is about much more than how a place looks on paper. You have to be there and experience a place to see if you'll like it. I know the first time I came to visit Tulane, something just clicked and I knew this is where I wanted to be! Alright, I'm not going to get mushy or anything... If any of you guys are coming in for Honors Weekend, look for me! I'll be giving a tour at 12:45, having dinner with some of you guys at 5:30, and hosting a student overnight. Also, if y'all have any questions about this weekend, send them my way! I've enjoyed hearing from you guys on Facebook, and my email address is ahollier@tulane.edu. While I'm talking about prospective students, I thought you guys would enjoy this article. Happy reading, and I can't wait to see you guys on campus!
(Wish me luck on my exams!)
