Athenian Sing for Family Weekend!
Oct. 7, 2013—When I first came to Vanderbilt, family weekend was in September. Since I had never been away from my mom for more than three weeks, that was perfect! My favorite part of the weekend was the Athenian Sing, when I got to see the great performing arts groups on campus compete to raise money for different charities. After that night, I wanted to be involved in the Athenian Sing however I could. So, last year when I found out I could apply to be in the Athenian Honor Society and thereby help plan the event, I was psyched!

This year’s Quake was my first as a member of VPB’s Music Group, so I got to experience all the fun from a much better view than before: The artists we had this year were Wale and Kendrick Lamar, two of the biggest names...
The Anchor
Oct. 3, 2013—Last night, as I was at the Munchie getting ready to grab some food and head out to Blair for some late night practicing, I got a text from my house president, Henry.

Paint Vandy Purple Week!

But why purple, one might wonder? Well, it’s all for a good cause. Vanderbilt Relay for Life is one of the biggest student organizations on campus....
