Rush, Rush, Rush

You'd almost think I was back in college again! I spent last Sunday and Monday at the Fullerton Sigma Kappa house (my old chapter) helping them out with recruitment. It was so much fun to see all the girls and refresh my memory on all the madness that goes on. To add another dimension, my cousin Robin was participating in Fullerton's recruitment. I loved talking/texting with her all weekend finding out how she was liking it and which sororities were her favorites. Secretly, I was wishing she would pledge Sigma Kappa, but I did not tell her that. It's too big of a decision and I did not want to influence her. But needless to say, she ended up pledging Sigma Kappa. Woohoo...there's another Sigma Kappa in the family! I'm absolutely thrilled for her and excited for us to share this special bond.

Being back at the sorority house brought back so many fond memories. I truly enjoyed by college years, thanks to Sigma Kappa. I was so luckly to be part of such a great sisterhood. And seeing the girls rush around frantically during recruitment made me relaize that I probably didn't appreciate it when I was an active memeber. It's amazing how many things we take for granted when we're experiencing it, but appreciate it when we get to reminisce.

This coming weekend, I will be at the UCI Sigma Kappa chapter helping them with recruitment. They are a brand new chapter and this is the girls' first time going through formal recruitment. Did I also mention I'm one of their recruitment advisors? Yeah, luckily there will be ladies from national headquarters helping us out too. It's bound to be another exhausting weekend, but absolutely worth it!

Football Season Has Arrived

One of my favorite times of the year...when USC football starts! This past Saturday was the first game and it was at the Coliseum. It was fun and exciting, but terribly hot! In my 25+ years of attending USC football games, it has never been that hot. Let's just say, by halftime all the vendors were sold out of water, lemonade and frozen lemonade. It was terrible. But as a loyal fan, I stuck with it and stayed until the very end. I was so glad to see the new quarterback, Matt Barkely, do well. The first quarter was scary, and all I kept thinking was...it's going to be a long season. But then the jitters went away and the last three quarters were awesome. The next game is this weekend at Ohio State. It's going to be a good one! College GameDay is broadcasting from there, so you bet I'll be watching at 7 am. Fight on Trojan fans!
