Bucket List Item #7

#7 Join a Sorority/Make it :)

Oh the famous number seven. This one was quite interesting to go through and I particularly found my self not wanting to do...at the beginning. It was Spring semester 2009 when it came to mind that this year I would have to accomplish what I dreaded...Rushing for a Sorority. I find it quite funny saying those words because if you meet me now you would understand why those words are so amusing. Because it was Spring 2009 Rush Week was over and at the time I wasn't aware of the sororities Continuous Open Bidding so Fall 2009 was the semester I would have to go for it. Since I didn't want to do this alone I decided to convince my friend Dani to rush with me. Well I say convince, but it was more like "Hey we're rushing this week, here's what to sign, what we have to wear and the time and dates." I like to believe that's what truly happened, however Dani will tell you other wise ;). Going back to my main point here, Fall 2009 soon came around and Rush Week was finally here. At the University of Arkansas- Fort Smith Rush Week consisted of three days mainly over the weekend and If I were to write about every day, this would be 5 pages long so I will save you from that. However I will tell you my favorite day..Day 1.

Day 1 was my favorite day because that day while I was standing in line, wondering why I'm I always the first person in line and wishing I could just go to the back of the line, was actually the day I meet the DG sister, Amanda Chavez, who made me want to go DG by just a second of talking. Later on after getting the Bid for Delta Gamma, I got my wonderful BIG Kelli Muse who is amazing and likes to dance in the car just like me! Not only that, but my Great Great ended up being Amanda Chavez! My life is literally full of Delta Gamma and I wouldn't have it any other way. Some of those girls have become my best of best friends and can safely say that some of my Sisters will be in my wedding. 

So here's my advise for you...challenge yourself and  you will be surprised to find out that what you once might have thought as impossible could very well turn into a possibility. Remember, always give something a chance.

GO DELTA GAMMA!

Bucket List Item #1

#1 Take a Spontaneouse Trip.

Couldn't have had it any other way, but to take a trip to New Orleans with some of my great friends and sisters. We literally were watching Pretty Little Liars, then GREEK on abc Family and then BAM!...we were going to the SUGAR BOWL.

Pretty Little Liar's/GREEK Watch Party 7p.m.:
In the middle of the GREEK episode...it began
"Guy's we should go somewhere, we have no school this week!"
 "Lets go to fayettville guys?" - Everyone 
"No lets go to the SUGAR BOWL!" - Hayley Carter
Everyone stared at each other for a split second trying to figure out if everyone else also thought that was a great idea...
"I'll book the tickets right now..they're only 47 dollars and hotel we is...."- Jordan Bozeman
"I can drive"- CC
Once again everyone stared at each other waiting for someone to say the magic words..
"LETS GO!!!" - I've yet to figure out if it was all of us who said this..
Then it began.
Ticket purchasing done. Book hotel done. Picking up Patrick Sullivan and saying lets go to the sugar bowl done. Directions done. Everyone's bosses called..done.
With our Arkansas gear, tickets in hand,Ford Focus ready to go, Jeep ready to go, our "I can't believe we are actually doing this" moments, and clock striking midnight... we left for one of the best trips we all every had.

Here's my advise...if there is ever a situation in which you have the chance to do something unforgettable, fun, and with the people who you call your best friends or sisters or brothers...GO. Promise you..taking a chance like this was definitely worth it.
