Ah, to feel like a college student again. Lots of free time in the afternoons, evenings on the couch, water wars with fraternities, date parties… those were the good ‘ole days. A couple weeks ago I went back up to Lawrence to visit Tri Delta for Mock Recruitment. This is where alumni come to the house and the girls show off their skits, give you a tour of the house and sing some songs as they prepare for Fall Formal Recruitment. I remember hating recruitment when I was going through it and it’s kind of funny to think back on those days during Work Week and see how things have changed. Overall, I was impressed with the women. Their “Wizard of Oz” themed skit was cute, although I didn’t understand why there was a German man escorting Dorothy through Oz, let alone why he was wearing a fake nose and glasses. Regardless, it was nice to go back to the sorority house I haven’t been in since 2005, see all the new updates and furniture. I’m really bummed they recently threw out the big orange sectional that used to be in the Social room. I spent many hours curled up in the corner of that sectional. Good times. For the next couple days I couldn’t get the D-E-L-T-A, D-E-L-T-A song out of my head. Some might call that an Earworm…(reference dictionary of non words blog post)
After Mock Recruitment ended, I got to go out to dinner with my sister-in-law, Dana. She is a proud member of Alpha Chi Omega, so I got a quick tour of her house and then we went out for sushi. It was fun to reminisce about the fun times we had in college and also hear the excitement in Dana’s voice as she gears up for her sophomore year. Great times are ahead for my baby sister and I can’t wait to hear about them and relive college vicariously through her.
