‘Greek Life’
My 4 Sides of Greek Life
Jan. 31, 2011—A few weeks ago Erica and Eileen gave you a good idea of what the decision to go Greek or not is like for a freshman at Vanderbilt. However, as a senior who has literally been on all sides of the system, I thought I would share some my experiences with you also. Read on...
Sorority Perks
Jan. 30, 2011—As a member of Vanderbilt’s varsity Women’s Lacrosse team, I hope to offer a new perspective to the blogging site by providing information about activities, services, and service opportunities both inside and outside of athletics. Having just gone through sorority recruitment, I would like to focus this first blog on my participation in Greek Life.
Speed Dating
Jan. 28, 2011—Last Wednesday, I did speed dating…with the sophomores in my sorority! Since sophomores will be paired with new members in a few weeks and become their “Big,” the two classes needed to get to know each other better.
Outside of Greek Life
Jan. 17, 2011—This week, about 50% of the women in the class of 2014 participated in Panhellenic Recruitment, which ended with yesterday’s Bid Day. The week was full of fun activities and girls were extremely busy mingling with sorority sisters and finding the right house for them. All five of my closest friends went through recruitment and...
New Year’s Resolution
Jan. 3, 2011—It is the third day of the new year, and I think I’ve finally decided my resolution for 2011: to take more chances. I know this sounds like the biggest cliché, but I see why it is so popular. Sometime we get too comfortable in our routines and miss out on otherwise unforgettable experiences.
Panhellenic Preview
Nov. 15, 2010—Last Saturday was a busy day for many girls on the Vanderbilt campus, as it was Panhellenic Preview Day! Any freshman considering rushing in the spring got to visit each sorority house and talk to the sisters for fifteen minutes.
March Madness – On and Off Campus
Mar. 24, 2010—Off campus – the week in review: Everyone’s bracket has been completely destroyed. Who would have called some of these upsets? Vanderbilt basketball… oh well. All is not lost. Yea we lost our chance at playing Kentucky and finally handing their rear ends to them, but in talking with the team last night at Sigma...
The Changing Face of Vandy
Feb. 26, 2010—This fall semester I had a very special Homecoming weekend. Of course Homecoming weekend is always fun because of the game, parties, and everything else but this year’s I got to experience even more than a great tailgate. I spent a portion of this Homecoming weekend showing around a Vanderbilt alumnus who was also one...
Melodores in Action
Feb. 8, 2010—This past weekend was the ICCA Acappella competition at UGA in Athens, Georgia. Although the Melodores did not advance to the next level of the competition, we did have a successful performance and a great time to bond with each other. As I mentioned before, Vanderbilt does a great job of actively supporting student organizations;...
The Soundtrack to “A Typical Vandy Week”
Feb. 3, 2010—I don’t know about y’all (yeah yeah I’m your resident southern belle blogger…) but I sometimes wish that there was music playing in the background of my life everyday. Don’t lie… you know you’ve thought about it too. Well I decided to thoroughly search through my iTunes library to find the perfect soundtrack to my...
