Sunday Best
Yesterday was preference round for rush! We were instructed to wear our "Sunday Best" and everyone dressed accordingly. We went to see up to three chapters each and then ranked them at the end of the day according to personal preference. When we visited each chapter we got to chat more with the girls, have some sweet treats, and then they would share a little bit of their ritual with us. It was such a fun day, but I was absolutely exhausted by the end of it. ~What I Wore~dress - Lilly …

My sophomore and junior year I had been on my school's poms team, which I loved. Dancing is a major passion of mine, I've basically been …
