Housing Options
Mar. 1, 2013—Housing applications begin right after spring break for everyone except the incoming class. While all the first years are automatically assigned to a house on Commons, everyone else gets the choice of where they want to live. Here are all of the options!
Mom’s Weekend
Mar. 1, 2013—Last weekend was Mom's Weekend for my sorority, Alpha Chi Omega, and I had so much fun hanging out with my mom.
Big/Little Reveal!!
Feb. 22, 2013—So for those who know nothing about Greek Life (don't worry, that was me a year ago) every sorority has Bigs and Littles. Basically, every new member is a Little and gets a Big, who is someone a year older than them to show them the ropes and hang with a ton. You also then join a family with a Grandbig (like Eileen). As a new member, I was so excited to get a Big.
Busy Busy Busy
Feb. 18, 2013—I haven't had much time to blog lately because I've been so busy with class and activities. Here's a peak into what I've been up to.
Half the Sky
Feb. 2, 2013—Thursday night I attended a talk by Nicholas Kristof, coauthor of the book, Half the Sky. I had to go to the event for AXO, but I was actually really excited because I read the book this past summer and loved it. It also just so happens that Half the Sky was the Commons Reading this year.
This Little Bike of Mine
Jan. 29, 2013—I remember one of the decisions I had to make freshman year was whether or not I wanted a bike. At home I have a fairly nice bike, but my parents didn't want me to bring it to college in case it got stolen. To be honest, the desire to get a bike came mostly out of necessity.
What a Fun Weekend in Nashville
Jan. 20, 2013—After two weekends of recruitment, I was looking forward to some free time this weekend. Unfortunately, I've been super busy-but in the good way! It's been a great weekend, and we don't have classes tomorrow because of MLK day!
Recruitment 2013
Jan. 16, 2013—These past two weekends I spent at sororities for spring recruitment. I rushed as a sophomore, which is not common, but not unheard of. Coming into college, I didn't know that much about sororities, as none of my family was greek. After watching lots of my friends join sororities last year and have wonderful experiences, I decided that I wanted to rush as well!

Jan. 8, 2013—A guest blog by JR Mahung, the guy who may have entered your email address into Vandy's admissions office database.
Winter Break Travels
Jan. 4, 2013—I cannot believe that winter break is almost over and I am less than a week away from the start of classes. It seems like this break in particular has flown by. I spent the first week eating mass amounts of ice cream while watching lots of TV show marathons because I got my wisdom teeth removed. And this past week I spent in New York City with my family!
