A lot to do on campus!

Wow... since last week there has been a lot going on around campus, and the best part is that its all fun stuff!
Last monday night there was a Soul Food dinner brought to the campus by BSU (Black Student Union). I got to help make some of the food, and man it was good! There was everything from mashed potatoes to tacos to desserts, all home-made by the students! Tip:get there early, by 30 before the event, the line was out of the building we were standing in!
Next up, on wednesday was Casino Night for one of the fraternities. It is an event open to all first year and independent males, and they invited 4 girls from my sorority to help out at the event. It was pretty cool, they set up their lounge to look kinda like a casino and the girls walked around greeting people, serving food and drink, and having fun! By the end, everyone makes money from the games and there was an auction for some pretty cool prizes, all donated by the guys.
Then on friday there was TOTU (Take Over The Union). This is an annual event where all the Resident Assistance staff and Student Life groups put on games, activities, and lots of food and drinks in the union and pub areas. Its pretty fun because there are prizes to win and tons of students there!
Finally on saturday there was a formal for one of the fraternities, and it was a ton of fun, especially after my sorority's formal the weekend before. It was a lot of dressing up, but formals are some of the best events on campus!
Then after tomorrow, it will be thanksgiving break! We are all looking forward to seeing our families and having a good home cooked meal (and maybe some christmas present shopping on black friday to get all the sales!!) We get off from wednesday to sunday, although its not a whole week like some schools, we did just have a week long fall break that most other schools didnt get!

Its starting to get cold!

The weather is beginning to change quickly and man is it getting cold! There have been some snow flurries already and boy, I am not ready for winter yet! It does mean though, that its almost Thanksgiving and I love the thanksgiving food!
Tonight on campus there is an open forum which I am very excited about. It will allow any students who go to hear about changes that are taking place around campus, and it will also give us an opportunity to speak on our opinions about the changes. There are a lot of students that plan on attending and it should be really interesting!
Also coming up is formal for my sorority, and then the fraternity formal next weekend, I get to go to both! Formals are always very exciting and really fun! For me, it really shows how the greeks get together within their houses and really show how they are a society of sisters and friends. Its tons of fun!
