Phi Lamb Formal!
Apr. 3, 2012—This past weekend my sorority, Sigma Phi Lambda, (which is the Christian sorority on campus) had our formal! It was held in the fellowship hall of a local church near campus, and overall it was a night of great fun with my sisters! Since Phi Lamb is smaller than many of the other sororities on...

Strike Out Arthritis
Mar. 18, 2012—Last Friday was AOII’s annual spring philanthropy, Strike Out Arthritis. As I mentioned before, our sorority’s national philanthropy is the Arthritis Foundation, so all the money raised will go to Arthritis research, prevention, and care.

Vanderbilt Traditions: Founder’s Walk
Aug. 23, 2010—Yesterday was Founders Walk, which is an old Vanderbilt tradition to welcome new first-year and transfer students. The nearly 2000 walkers trek the outskirts of campus and end up at Wilson Lawn, not before encountering a HUGE crowd of our student groups lining the final stretch, cheering and welcoming everyone to campus. To be honest, when I asked...
Rains of Spring
Apr. 28, 2010—Rites of Spring was not ideal by anybody’s means…weather-wise. Apparently it has rained for the past two years leading up to this year’s Rites… Between cancellations of bands (yes Passion Pit cancelled on us because of sickness) and delays because of monsoon-like rain, it seemed like things were going to be a disaster. The show...
