Red Dress Gala 2

It is the final week before the Red Dress Gala and everyone is very excited. The final week means lots of preparations. It is my job to make the final rounds with the donation letters. It is important that we get enough donations for our fundraiser. Many of the girls are scrambling last minute to find the perfect red dress. We are all excited to see our parents and other family members who may attend. We have high hopes that the event will go well and everyone is working hard to pull it together. We have a lot to live up to and our advisers are watching us closely. Last years Gala was a success and we are hoping this years will be even better.

I bought the perfect dress today- on sale too! Looking forward to Saturday..2 more days!

Valentine's Day Weekend

This past friday PIKE and Alpha Phi had a social together. Unfortunately there was a low turn out due to the three day weekend. Many of us girls decided to go home for the weekend to take advantage of no class on Monday for President's Day. I decided to go back to CT for the long weekend. I heard the social was a lot of fun and I wish I could have been there. PIKE is a popular fraternity within our sorority. Hopefully there will be more socials with them to come. All the sisters have to take turns driving to each social. The groups are split up into the P group, H group, and the I group. The P group was assigned to drive to the PIKE social and many of the girls in the P group went home for the weekend which caused a bit of controversy. Nobody would volunteer to drive. There was no chapter this week because of no school on Monday. Dues are also due this week and if you don't get them in on time you can't attend this weeks social. ZBT is the upcoming social for the week and i'm looking forward to it!

Greek Week 2010

We recently found out the greek week pairings at the basketball game on Saturday for Greek Week 2010. Everyone was very excited to hear that we have been paired for ZBT. ZBT has a good greek week reputation and we are hoping to win it all. AXO has been paired with FIGI, SDT has been paired with PIKE and Delta CHI and ADPI is with LAMDA. Greek Week consists of many different competitions between each team and can get very competetive. This is also something we look foward too. This year it will be held on April 16-23 and each night of the week is a different themed party. There is a lot of planning that goes into this whether it is picking themes or designing tee-shirts or choreographing a dance or practicing lip-sync. It is hard work but it is very worth it!!

We had our first Greek Sing practice last night. Everyone is so excited! Wish I could reveal what we will be singing- but you just have to wait and see!

Red Dress Gala

The 4th Annual Red Dress Gala is coming up on February 20th. This is our philanthopic event to raise money to the American Heart Association. I was recently asked to help plan for the event and I was also in charge of the invitations. I helped design and order all 550 of them. The Gala will be held at Quidnessett Country Club in North Kingstown. Many of the alumni will return for the special event as well as family and friends. Every year all the sisters where red dresses to show our support for the cause. We are hoping for a good turn out this year and we are counting down the days.
