One of the things that the juniors and seniors at Butler are most proud of is our status as children of the 1980s. Yes, we are the babies of the decade, and we really don't have too many coherent memories from it, but it still makes us feel way more retro and cool to say we lived in such a ridiculous...

Whew! Honors Weekend is finally wrapping up! This is the weekend when Butler hosts a number of events to recognize outstanding students, including the Top 100 Banquet, Honors Program events and academic college awards. It is one of my favorite times of year, because I really get to learn about all the...

Although I’ve been back in the States for about two months now, I still find myself thinking about study abroad on almost a daily basis. Almost everything reminds me of something from Spain. I talk about my experience in my classes all the time! It is ridiculous how much you can learn about the...

As I look outside my window onto this balmy 56 degree February day in Indianapolis (don't ask... it's Indiana weather), this post seems a little outdated. Sorry I didn't get my comments on our recent snow day up right away, but I thought it would be even more fun to feature the perspective...

Hey friends! I’m sorry it’s been awhile… things have been craaaaazy here at BU as we just had our first week of the spring semester, and all of that coming right off of formal recruitment for the Greek community. Steph and Liz have done a great job of showing you what it is like to...

Are any of you familiar with the old jazz tune "Autumn Leaves"? When I was in the Bluecoats colorguard this summer, it was our corps song, so I got to know the words quite well. My favorite is the line "I miss you most of all, my darling, when autumn leaves start to fall." Well, autumn...

One question I always get from prospective students is about roommates. This is understandable; most of us have never shared a bedroom with our siblings, much less a perfect stranger. I have mostly had good experience with my roommates throughout college, but studying abroad seemed a little scary… I...

Initiation week for Pi Beta Phi is over! It was tons of fun, but I'm glad that all our new members are now officially Pi Phis and that things will settle down a little bit! The most exciting part about Initiation Week as a sophomore is getting a Little Sis. We had to keep our pairings a secret until...

All recruitment week I liked every sorority house on campus. I could see myself fitting in every house, but only one felt like it was home to me. After the 2nd visit, I was not asked to visit there again. I didn't really know what to do with myself except keep an open mind going through the rest...

First of all I have to apologize for being an entirely delinquent blogger. Since I last wrote, there has been SO much going on. New Year's, trying to cram in last coffee dates and catching up with my friends from home, a wedding in Vegas and of course, the ultimate craziness... Formal Recruitment...

You may think I put tons of pictures up on my blog, but for every one I post, there are hundreds more on my computer. To celebrate the end of 2007, I picked out some of my favorite shots that you haven't seen before. Enjoy! Bell tower in the snow, February 2007. Snow day! The guiding spirit of our...
