The CRAZY month of October

October has always been a crazy month, but this one is over the top!

On October 7, we had our annual DHOP....delta house of pancakes. This is where we invite everyone from the greek community, and all of stillwater over to our house to each unlimited pancakes, sausage, and bacon. All of our proceeds go to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Its is always a lot of fun, and this year I was back in the kitchen flipping pancakes. Let's just say that I am not longer craving pancakes. HAHA

Then this weekend was Homecoming Weekend. Mom, Dad, and Layne came up for all of the festivities! Friday night was walk-arounds where a TON of people walk around all of the greek houses and see the house decks....which are huge designs make out of chicken wire and pomp. Weird, I know!!! The overall theme this year was Branded for Life, and Tri Delta/Beta got most spirited!! On Saturday we all went to the parade and then tailgated with some of my girls and all of our parents! It was lots of fun, but a little bit cold!! The game was really late, but we BEAT mizzou!! (I would also like to give a shout out to all those K-State fans, yall KILLED A&M!!!!)

Next week is Initiation Week, and since I am New Member Educator, this is my last major duty of my term in office! A lot has been leading up to this and I can't wait to initiate all 51 of my new members! Then on Friday, Amy, Beth, and I are going to Baylor to spend the weekend with Amy's older sister, Blaire. We will go to the OSU/BU game on Saturday...in ORANGE of course! It will be lots of fun to get away for a little road trip. We are going right through Dallas, but not stopping...I think mom and dad will be okay with it! HAHA

So as you can see I have been really busy up here in STILLY!! Hope everyone is having a great fall season! Love YALL!!

......and layne jennifer needs to post some pics of this weekend!!!!!!!!

Ball State & Homecoming Week

HEY GUYS!

Well I've been pretty busy lately! I got home from Ball State last Sunday night and then starting the next day (Monday) was homecoming week.

Let's see, Ball State was awesome! I got there around 1 and my assistant coach (Amber) picked me up at the Indianapolis Air Port and took me to campus just in time to hear my head coach (Michael) give the girls their pre-game speech. They played Bowling Green and beat them 1-0, it was a really good game. Then my host took me back to her dorm and we got situated and met the rest of the freshman hosts and recruits and went to dinner at the Pita Pit on campus. After supper we went to see a movie and this time the whole team joined us. We saw the animated movie called cloudy with a chance of meatballs. It was really cute! Then Paige and I went back to her dorm and hung out for the night. The next day, Saturday we had breakfast at the food court in her dorm and then she went back upstairs to get ready for practice. They had a short 30min walk through practice just to get the girls out of bed and loosen them up after yesterdays game. Then we had lunch and walked to the football stadium to see the first half of the football game. Then we went behind the stadium to watch the girls field hockey team play Missouri State. The soccer girls and the field hockey girls are good friends because they all room together. After that we had some down time and we just watched tv; and had an early dinner with Michael and Amber at a little hamburger restaurant. Then later that night the team got together for a "Task Scavenger Hunt". We were divided into 4 teams and we had a list of goofy things that we had to do. Such as: Kiss a stranger, get your butt signed by a stranger, put your gum on the gum tree etc. I was really fun! And my team won! Then they had a game the next day (Sunday) against big rival Toledo. They team lost in the last 2 sec. 4-3. It was a heart breaker because the girls played really hard. Then Amber took me back to the airport and I flew home to HOT Dallas!

Our Homecoming theme this year was "Take a Walk Through the Jungle". So we got to dress up everyday in different attires. Monday: The Lion Sleeps Tonight; wear PJ's to school. Tuesday: Go the the Jungle Gym and Dress Like a little kid. Wednesday: Go Bananas and dress mixed matched. Thursday: Dress in animal print. Friday: Mums a garters. It was a great senior homecoming with lots of fun!

No soccer lately! TOO MUCH RAIN! welll that's just my update.

Love, Layne
