Class, Recruitment and Fun!

Hey all!
The first couple of weeks back at school have been busy but great! I finally got all my classes worked out and I am enjoying all of them. I am taking 4 classes for both of my majors and then I am also working as a research assistant in the Psychology Lab. I haven't started yet, but it should be really great. I get to work with one of my former professors on her social psychology research. It will give me great experience that should make me more prepared for graduate school which I plan to apply to this coming fall!

These first two weeks have been ultra busy because of sorority recruitment. I am a member of Pi Beta Phi and last weekend was the first weekend of formal recruitment. I was at our sorority house ALL day Friday, Saturday and Sunday preparing for it. As stressful as it is while we are going through it, in the end they are actually 2 of the best weekends of the semester because we get to spend so much time together. Next weekend is the final 3 days. Friday and Saturday are the third and fourth days of recruitment and Sunday is called Bid Day! It is when the freshman get their official bids from each sorority. Everyone brings their new members to a restaurant for a brunch and to allow them to spend time getting to know the older chapter members. It is so much fun! It makes all the late nights and time spent organizing worth it!


Last Thursday was one of my best friends 21st birthday so we went to one of our favorite sushi restaurants called "Sake Cafe". There were 22 of us at the dinner! As you can see most of the girls are dressed in white because after dinner we went to a big party called Original Sin. My friends and I were in white to be dressed as angels. It was great to be with all of my friends after being abroad last semester. The party was at this location downtown called the board of trade. It was a beautiful building and the party was a lot of fun! Tons of dancing! Below is a picture of my friends and I dressed up at the party!




I am off to go do some reading for class! Talk to you soon!
