Fall Break and Having Fun with Sigma Kappa!

I've kept very busy over the past couple of weeks! During homecoming weekend, I performed in Air Jam and my team for DeHority won the prize for best residence hall!

We began the meeting as we normally would, and about halfway through we were surprised with Big/Little reveal! We all walked over to the student center where we found a balloon with our name on it (courtesy of my wonderful Big, Mackenzie), and when we popped the balloon we found a paper with the name of our big! I got a large gift bucket as well as paddles from my Big and my Grandbig, Julie! One of Sigma Kappa's philanthropies is Geron

I got to have lunch with my beautiful Linnea and spend a lot of time with my wonderful sister. I was not quite expecting the disorienting feeling that was waking up in my bed at home when I'm
