Congrats to the New Tour Guides!
Mar. 22, 2011—When you visit Vanderbilt’s campus for a tour sessions you will first sit in on an Information Session led by one of our awesome Admissions Counselors and then you will be led on a campus tour by a current student. However, these aren’t any ordinary students… they are hand picked every spring by the Admissions...
ASB in New Hampshire
Mar. 14, 2011—Alternative Spring Break (ASB) at Vanderbilt University was the first program of its kind and was established by Vanderbilt students in 1987 and today is one of the most popular service organizations on campus. I would definitely recommend that every Vanderbilt student participate in ASB at least once before the graduate. It can truly be...
Hula, Hula, Hula!!!
Feb. 23, 2011—One of my first friends at Vanderbilt was Annalise Miyashiro (who was Panhellenic Council president 2010-2011).

“Five-year-old-habits” die hard
Feb. 18, 2011—Remember how simple life was when we were five? Wake up, go to school, play, eat lunch, tap a nap (oh, how I miss naps), eat again, play, go home, repeat. It was a simple life, an easy life, but now things are a little bit more complicated.
Family
Feb. 14, 2011—There comes a time in every college student’s life when they realize that they have a person or group of people that makes them feel completely at home. This could be a roommate, a friend group, an extracurricular organization, a professor, or even a particularly friendly janitor. For me, it’s the Original Cast.
Melodores District Champions!
Feb. 8, 2011—This past weekend, the Melodores traveled to the University of Georgia to compete at the International Championship of Collegiate Acapella Quarterfinals. The results: 1st Place! Where to start? We had so much fun driving down together, getting to know everyone on a personal level. It’s always great to let loose and socialize with the guys,...

After an dedicated campaign, Adam Meyer and Maryclaire Manard won with 54.2% of the votes – a close race. Check our their platform here. Vanderbilt Student Government, or VSG, is a student organization that represents Vandy Undergraduates – not only...
