Some of you may have noticed that I haven't blogged for the last few days or been as active on social media as usual... Want to know why? RECRUITMENT! My chapter, Chi Omega Lambda Mu, just finished up Panhellenic recruitment this weekend, so I've been crazy busy prepping for and participating in recruitment. My sisters and I had such a great time recruiting this year and all of the girls going through rush were absolutely amazing! Our chapter was incredibly blessed and we got sixty-nine …

Throwback Thursday – Fall Recruitment 2013
On September 22nd, 2013 I joined a sorority after going through two hectic weekends of meeting and greeting so many absolutely amazing girls from the various Panhellenic sororities on my campus. I approached the end of the whole process with so much anticipation, a little bit of stress, and a whole lot of relief that those incredibly packed weekends of recruitment were almost over. Even with the craziness of the whole process, recruitment was such a blast and bid day was a HUGE highlight of my …
Spring Semester ’15
Today officially begins the start of my fourth semester of college! To say that time is flying would be cliche, but it's incredibly true. I can't believe that after this semester I will be halfway done with college... that's just mind blowing to me! There's so much going on all at once in my life right now, and there's potential for stress around every corner. I was talking with two of my friends yesterday about classes starting and dealing with so much happening and they reminded me of a saying …
Dorm Gallery Wall
Earlier this semester I posted an Instagram (shown further down in the post) of me in our dorm kitchen with a can of gold spray paint... and that's how this all began. Ever since I was little, I've had a fondness for gallery style walls in other people's homes. Whether they're made of art, family photos, or a mixture of both, I've always loved looking at them and contemplating what I would put in my own! This semester I decided that I wanted to create my own mini gallery wall above my bed. I …

Sigma Chi Derby Days ’14
It's that time of year again! Derby Days officially begins tomorrow on my campus and I am so excited! For those of you who are thinking, "what the heck is this Derby Days thing?" one of the fraternities on our campus, Sigma Chi - Lambda Nu, raises money for the Huntsman Cancer Institute each year by hosting a full week of events and activities. Along with my chapter, I'm raising money this year for Derby Days and I would be extremely grateful if you'd donate to the cause! I've given …

As many of you may know from my Instagrams this weekend, my chapter held Fall Bid Day for informal recruitment this weekend!

Be sure to …
