This post doesn't have much to say...but there sure will be a lot to see. These past two weeks have been so fun! I have been so some informals, formals, the MONON BELL game and pep rally... If any of you are at all interested in knowing what goes on outside of class time, this may be a good post to look at. After all, a picture is worth 1000 words, right? So not much explanation will be in this post. :)
In the beginning of November, I attended Sigma Chi Fraternity's "Country Club" informal. The premise is that everyone finds the "preppiest" clothes they own and attends a "Country Club" style party at the fraternity house. This is one of my favorite fraternity events of the season because we get picked up in golf carts (see image) and I get to use all of the clothes I bought when I worked at J.Crew! :) Costumes range from preppy parents to golf caddys. Needless to say, the night was a great success!
The next week was Monon Week 2009! As you know the Monon Bell Football game is the highlight of the DePauw football season. We literally play for the Monon Bell
(at left). The week is full of activities, all leading up to the pep rally and the game itself. During the pep rally, each fraternity and sorority pair up and do a skit predicting the game (and always end with the Tigers winning...duh). This year, Alpha Phi did a skit with Beta Theta Pi and Sigma Nu fraternities and did a skit based on the movie "Twilight" where we fought over
"Bell-a" (get it...Monon BELL...Bella is the main character...we thought we were clever haha). Check out this video to see our skit! (<-- hopefully the link works!) We didn't win, but we sure did have a lot of fun!
That weekend was the Monon Bell game! Sadly, we didn't win this year, but the Tigers still managed to make it to the playoffs for THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY! nice. The pictures below are from the tailgate, the game and the poms performance during halftime!
So.Much.Fun. To cap of the next week, I attended Alpha Phi's formal. I took one of my best girl friends as my date, and we partied like we weren't graduating in May :) This year we rented
the 3rd floor of the Chase Building in Downtown Indianapolis. It was a very classy, candlelit night with an awesome DJ to boot! As a little gift, each attendee received a pair of avaitors before the dance with "Alpha Phi" written on the top. So of course, we had to take pictures wea
ring the glasses... (see pic of me and Jess on the right. sadly, we're not that cool). The next day we participated in Dance Marathon, a fundraiser for pediatric AIDS and started mentally preparing for Thanksgiving break. :)
On Sunday, my cousin Michael came to visit DePauw as a prospective student. He got the full DePauw overnight experience (with the exception of eating at Marvin's...it was closed by the time we got there Monday night). So this is my official shout out to my cousin...hope you loved the school (and your visit)!
OK - so I ended up writing a lot (no surprise there). I am currently enjoying Thanksgiving break, but I am in the library preparing to write three final papers for after break. I hope you all have a fun, family-oriented Thanksgiving! We all have so much to be thankful for :)
I'll see you after break!
