Two weeks ago I successfully made it through the first round of exams!! This past Wednesday I found out my "big sister" in my sorority. We have a big sister, little sister system in Delta Gamma, similar to the system we had at Incarnate Word. Each new pledge is paired with a sophomore as a mentor/best friend for their time in DG. Mine was the hilarious, classy (I'm talkin' lipstick everyday!), lovable Allison Michels! The night of the Big Little reveal, we were held in a small room where we were given our sailor hats that had been collected for our bigs to decorate. There were some pretty outrageous hats!
Once everyone got their hats back, we were led into an auditorium where we were then lined up four at a time at the front with our backs to the everyone and eyes closed. Then on the count of three, we were told to turn around and there our big would be!!! It was so much fun to see everyone's reaction, and even though I was really excited, I was super nervous standing up there at the front, waiting to find out who my big was. After all the revealing was over and everyone had their bigs, I was warmly welcomed to the family, met my grandbig (Allison's big), the other members of our "family", and enjoyed a concrete at the original Ted Drews :)

The rest of the week went very smoothly..Delta Gamma had our first Date Dash on Thursday. A Date Dash is a casual party, that usually has a theme, and to which we can bring up the three dates! Our first date dash was themed "country clubs and gangsta thugs", I went as country club. Before the dance, I met up with my big, Allison, at my grandbig's apartment where she made us dinner: orange chicken, pot stickers, and fried rice, mmmm!

From there we caught the bus over to Missouri Bar and Grille, the venue for the date dash, and danced the night away!

This weekend will be full of studying for my theology midterm and laundry (which is what I'm currently doing)...but not before I had had a little bit of fun..last night my neighbor, Hannah and I went to a frat "date dash" themed christmas in october. Luckily we had had time to squeeze in a run to Goodwill on thursday and were ready to dance in our ugly christmas sweaters. It was really fun to see all the ridiculous outfits the guys came up with.
