Dizzy Bat, Part 3
Mar. 26, 2013—As you should all know by now, Caitlyn and I are pros at Dizzy Bat...and by that I mean we're great at coaching other people and then laughing when Caitlyn tries (and fails) once a year.
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!
The Perfect Parents’ Weekend
Feb. 12, 2013—Normally AOII has a Dad’s Weekend in the fall and Mom’s Weekend in the spring, but this year we decided to group them together and have Parents’ Weekend. Since Knoxville is only three hours away, both my parents were able to visit me this weekend and it was just what I needed.
A Day in the Life of Eileen

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...
First-Year FAQs
Aug. 14, 2012—Today I grabbed coffee with a girl from my high school who’s coming to Vandy (I can’t believe Move-In Day is SATURDAY!). I tried to answer any questions she had and I figured some excited first-years out there might be curious about them too:
