Big/Little Reveal
Feb. 18, 2013—As I walked through Rand last Wednesday, I made sure to grab multiple copies of The Hustler and The Slant, even though I’d already read both (and completed the crossword). I stocked up on scotch tape and bundled up for the cold as I waited for my Big to pick me up from Towers. It was time for Big/Little Reveal 2013!
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!
Imma miss you, Vandy.
Dec. 15, 2012—Well folks, I survived the semester. After a stressful morning of last minute packing, goodbyes, and two plane rides, I am finally made it home.

Mountain Weekend

Gatilinburg is a small resort city situated in the smokey mountains, about 3 hours from Nashville (4 if you want to factor in the time zone). On Friday afternoon, I hopped in a car with one of...
Phi Lamb Semiformal!
Nov. 8, 2012—This past Saturday was one of my favorite weekends of the semester. My sorority, Sigma Phi Lambda (the Christian sorority on campus) hosted our annual semiformal! It was a fun-filled night of line dancing, desserts, and more all planned by yours truly.
My Taste of Home
Nov. 1, 2012—This past weekend at Vanderbilt was extra-awesome!!! But you won't know why unless you read about it here!
Lights on the Lawn
Oct. 11, 2012—Next Friday there won’t be a single fraternity party–something almost unheard of for a Vanderbilt weekend. Instead, the Greek community is coming together to present Lights on the Lawn, a concert series benefiting the recovery effort of one of our own.
Sudden Sisterhood
Oct. 3, 2012—*Guest blog by the lovely Lauren Culbertson: A year ago, I claimed that I was not the “sorority-girl” type, but now I am a proud sister of the Zeta Omicron chapter of Alpha Chi Omega. Who woulda thought, right?
Acapella and Duck Hunting
Sep. 30, 2012—This weekend was quite a busy one, packed with a little too much fun and not enough work! On Thursday evening, my acapella group The Vanderbilt Dodecophonics got together with the all female acapella group The Swingin’ Dores to hang out and perform for one another. At every Dodec concert, the Swingin’ Dores come and...
