EMAIL ME! (Seriously. Just do it!)
Nov. 19, 2016—I wrote this post because I would LOVE to answer your questions about life at Vanderbilt! My email is sophia.druffner@vanderbilt.edu.

Another Round of Delta Underground!
Nov. 8, 2016—There are so many unique performances, speakers, and charity benefits that are happening every week on Vanderbilt’s campus, but Delta Underground holds a special place in my heart. Every fall, my entire sorority puts together a show for which all the proceeds go to our philanthropy, Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital.
Boo at the Zoo!
Nov. 1, 2016—What do to for Halloween weekend? Give out candy, candy, and more candy! An adventure in volunteering at the Nashville Zoo with my ASBoos.
I’ve Always Wanted an Older Sister: Sigma Phi Lambda, the Christian Sorority!
Mar. 8, 2016—Ten minutes before the introduction to Phi Lamb, I walked determinedly across the Vandy bridge and promised myself I wouldn't say yes.

The Happiest Student at Vanderbilt: Random Things I’ve Done at Vandy (Christmas Edition!)
Dec. 23, 2015—Thus ends the first semester of my freshman year. I was my high school valedictorian and I failed three tests. I’m so completely ungraceful that I opened a door once and fell over; I learned to swing dance. I would have described myself as an “introvert” before coming to college; I’ve discovered I LOVE people.
The Weird, Short Few Weeks Between Thanksgiving and Winter Break
Dec. 1, 2015—Just as we get settled back in, we leave again. But even in the campus chaos that is the time between breaks, I can’t help but be thankful (maybe it’s the contagious holiday spirit, or maybe it’s the fact that Vanderbilt is just literally my favorite place on Earth).
My Month in Ecuador (thank you Vandy!)
Nov. 8, 2015—This summer I went to Ecuador for a month, thanks to a program in Vandy's OACS (Office of Active Citizenship and Service). This program taught me more than I could have asked for. We had a reunion dinner to reflect on our experience, and I was asked to write a speech. Here it is!
Student Orgs for Days
Nov. 7, 2015—“College XYZ has over 300 student-run clubs and organizations. If you can’t find one that you like, you can start your own!” If you’re a high school senior, you’ve probably heard some form of this declaration way too many times during an info session or campus tour. Colleges love to talk about how involved their...
Kenya Dig It?
Nov. 6, 2015—Get it? "Kenya" as in "Can you dig it?" Organizations with puns in their name are my favorite, including this one!
