A semester in pictures

Keeping up with a blog takes a lot time so I've decided to update the blog-sphere via photos for all of my visits.  Without further ado here's a semester in photos:

1. Epsilon Epsilon Chapter at Texas Tech University

The stadium and new scoreboard.

In Texas the veggie burgers consist of a bun and veggie... not bad!

Experienced my first whole, fresh jalapeno 

Wore my first big tee

Visited the double T bench

and the Texas Tech seal

Holden Hall where all students who attend Texas Tech have a class at least once

Always love a good Chemistry class

A man made of books (just like I like 'em!)

Here they have trees growing in buildings

Favorite sculpture on campus.  The senior art students make a sculpture for the campus every year.

Love Texas Tech!

2. Theta Eta Chapter at Drake University

Spirit with some of the greatest gals!

Pin attire day during Spirit Week!

While our sorority may be older than Drake, it is still a beautiful campus!

Plus they have a great sense of humor.

For Philanthropy round one of the sisters created these adorable buckets.

Such a beautiful house for such beautiful women.

3. Epsilon Xi Chapter at Northern Arizona University

Got my first experience walking on the tarmac

Flagstaff is a pretty cool place!

Their walls were painted beautifully!

I was able to teach them the legendary hug train!

Pi love from Arizona!

Sometimes being an LC calls for traveling to return a U haul.

Man, Flagstaff is beautiful even with a storm brewing!

A lovely thank you from the sisters of Epsilon Xi

How cute is this?

Always love a good brag table!

4. Delta Rho Chapter at Gettysburg College

This women gave me the sweetest greeting ever!

During recruitment the sororities pound on the windows at the end of the rounds.

Fun while decorating for Preference!

The sweetest President of all time Miss Jo!

Loved working with this Recruitment Information Manager!

Bid day= best day!!

Rec center has a climbing wall inside this glass thingy

There is a tradition at the school where on your first day you walk across this seal and then never do so again until graduation.  

This is a building that served as a Union hospitable during the Civil War!

Most beautiful building on campus!

We visited a beautiful building that even had a secret basement.  Loved how much this college reminded me of William Jewell College!

After we climbed to the top of a tower the view was outstanding

This sweet sister was the best tour guide I could have had in Gettysburg!

Visited the place where THE address took place.

Love Delta Rho and the places they are going!

5. Zeta Phi Chapter at Francis Marion University

The campus had a pool where I then wanted to host all my meetings!

Beautiful fountain on campus!

Bid day hugs

Panhellenic love!

Loved the Red, White, and Blue theme!

Oh, and I was able to travel via propeller plane.

6. Alpha Beta Chapter at University of Iowa

Beautiful house that was built like a Pi!

Recommendation from the District IV Recruitment and Marketing Director and it was delicious!

The chapter does a Tiffany's theme and I was OBSESSED!

There was so much school spirit that even after recruitment the sisters stayed up to watch the game!

They also made time for laughs and giggles along the way.

Hello pretty campus!

I think I have a thing for school's seals
