Founders Day, Initiation, Indy, and SK Formal

On November 8th, Sigma Kappa celebrated our Founders Day, which is November 9th. At the Founders Day event, we heard from several alumnae that came to celebrate with us, watched a video made by the Gamma Eta pledge class of 2008, had a wonderful s'mores bar, and even took a quiz to see which of SK's five founders we were most like! I had a great time bonding with sisters and hearing from all of the alumnae.


On November 9th, the same day Sigma Kappa was founded 140 years ago, I was initiated along with the girls of my pledge class into Sigma Kappa. I'm so excited to officially be a member!



After an exciting week with Sigma Kappa, Sterling and I returned to our alma mater North Central, to see the musical "The Drowsy Chaperone" My sister Hannah was a dancing maid and was in almost every musical number of the show and was even front and center for the song "Toledo Surprise." As weird as it was to be back at my high school, I loved seeing my sister and Descants friends!




I was only in Indy for one night, because I had to be back in Muncie Saturday night for my first Sigma Kappa formal! The theme was "Music Festivals Through the Ages," and so my friend Noah and I dressed like Coachella. After hours of prep courtesy of Sterling, Noah and I went to dinner with some of my other sisters and their dates, and finally went to the formal. We had a great time and as always I loved bonding with my sisters!


I only have classes on Monday and Tuesday this week, and am very much looking forward to going home for Thanksgiving to see family! Thank you for reading, and have a great holiday!

From the Other Side

This week, I experienced several events from the “other side.” First, my sorority had a depinning ceremony for our new members to prepare them for initiation. Then, I traveled home to watch my high school’s showchoirs compete in the State Showchoir competition. Finally, we had initiation for our new members. In all three events, I felt like I experienced them from an entirely new (and unfamiliar) perspective. Depinning is a ceremony we do for our new members on the Thursday night before initiation. At most of our ceremonies, we wear all white. Depinning is the one ceremony where we wear all black. It was so fun to watch my new friends during depinning, especially since I was on the other side of depinning just last semester and knew how excited they must have felt. With my friends Sam and Maddie at depinning! Initiation is an extremely special ceremony for any sorority. Following initiation, we can welcome our new members as official sisters of our sorority. This spring,

Visits From Friends & First Football Game

This week started off with a much-needed visit from Grace and Sarah before they each headed off to school! Sterling and I walked them around to see the campus and show them what buildings we have classes in (now that we finally know how to get to those buildings!)  We even ate in the dining hall and later explored the Village and ended up at Greek's Pizza for dinner! The pizza at Greek's is fantastic and I highly recommend the cinnamon  twists for dessert! Grace spent the night and we spent the evening in my floor's kitchenette watching the VMAs! We even ordered Insomnia Cookies (delivered right to the dorm). Delicious. Once again, I highly recommend the chocolate-mint cookies. At the "Late Nite" party thrown on-campus, we got the chance to hold turtles with the Snakes Alive program! Afterwards, we explored the Village again. I would compare the Village to an area like Broad Ripple, or to any other "village" area outside of any college campus! Th

Intro: Welcome Week and First Day of Classes

Image
Welcome to my blog! I've been thinking of beginning a blog for a while now, and my transition to college life seems like the perfect platform! Additionally, I am beginning my track to an English major; it never hurts to write more! I appreciate many of my family and friends' interest in my beginning days on campus, welcome week, and all my new classes. By beginning this blog, I hope to give you all a view into my daily life as I transition into college.  I moved on campus on Wednesday, August 13th. My move-in was smooth with my awesome roommate Casey! Saying goodbye to my parents after we were all moved in was difficult, but all of us are excited for my new adventures! Yesterday, August 18, was the first day of classes. The five days in between move-in and classes showed no shortage of fun activities for incoming freshmen! I got the opportunity to meet many new friends at the Honors College picnic and scavenger hunt on the 14th, which required us to run all around campu
