Deep in the Heart of Friendship

Well, I am back in Indiana... temporarily! We finished up with the conference on Monday night and spent Tuesday sightseeing and traveling home... I already wasn't feeling too good, and when I woke up in my own bed on Wednesday morning, I was definitely sick! I had to take a day off and rest up, because...

Pi Phis Take Over Texas

Howdy ya'll! ; ) I am writing to you from DALLAS, TEXAS where I am on location for the 67th convention of the Pi Beta Phi fraternity for women! I'm not sure exactly how many Pi Phis are here, but there are 134 active collegiate chapters with at least one representative (most have two or more...

Our newest alumni = some of my heroes!

Yesterday, the Class of 2009 officially graduated from Butler University. I can't even believe it. The first shocking thing about it is that it means I am only one year away from walking into Hinkle Fieldhouse on a warm Saturday in May with all my classmates and doing the same thing. Now that they...

Spring? In Indiana? Believe it!

Finally, it seems like it may actually be spring in Indiana! We had beautiful weather over the weekend and on Monday, which was great for all of our end of the year events. I don't have much time to write because I need to write a paper and finish a book tonight, but I thought I would leave you with...

Phi Psi 500!

The Phi Psi 500 graced campus this past weekend. It is one of the last social events of the year and as one of the largest put on by a Greek house. Phi Psi 500 is a celebration of all the service that Phi Kappa Psi does through out the year. Last semester we completed 813 hours of community service and...

Family night at Pi Phi

One fun part of the new member process is finding out who your Big Sis is! This is an older member of the chapter who serves as a mentor for one of our new Pi Phis. We "reveal" the sister pairings at a fun night full of songs, games, and sugar! An old Pi Phi tradition is the cookieshine where...

The Spice Girls, live at Hinkle Fieldhouse

One of my initiatives for Panhel, the group which oversees all the sororities, is for us to be a united force of women supporting women. So, I organized a fun evening for all the sorority women at a BU women's basketball game which was on ESPN. The theme was "Spice Up the Night! Girl power for...

Crazy new members on Bid Day

So, the new members of Butler's sororities find out what house they are in; then they go to a ceremony in the student union where the Recruitment Counselors reveal what houses they are part of and then... they all come RUNNING out of Atherton Union to join their new sisters on Rowdy Row. It is insanity...

Re: Traditions!

Funny you should ask! This is a question I asked pretty much everyone I know at Butler last year when I was editor of the yearbook and we did a "Butler Traditions" page. Here's what we came up with: Fountain jumping - This is the number one Butler tradition, in my opinion! Groups of friends...

Re: Fraternity Housing

Hey Bob - I actually did see a sorority while I was a senior in HS, because when I came to visit my host was Greek and she took me over to see her house. So, if you know or meet someone on campus who is Greek, they would probably be willing to give you a tour. However, open houses don't really happen...
