Miss Erskine 2013!

On April 6, the Athenians hosted the Miss Erskine 2013 Pageant in Lesesne.  This year's theme was "April in Paris."  The stage was dominated by a huge Eiffel Tower that emphasized the theme.  All of the proceeds went to Relay for Life.  We raised almost $800!  Five of our girls were in the pageant, and they looked beautiful!  As the chair of the special events committee, Meghan Matthews orchestrated the event and won second runner-up in the pageant!  We were so excited to have Ali Rogers, Miss SC and the first runner-up to Miss America, join us for the pageant.  She acted as a guest judge and showed off her talent on the piano for the crowd.  It was a stressful event, but it turned out to be very successful.  This pageant was a great way for the Athenians to display our love for service projects in the Erskine community.         

Spring Retreat!

The Athenians have a lot of big plans for the spring semester! We started off the semester with a two part retreat weekend. On Friday night, we got together and enjoyed yummy appetizers and desserts together. It was a really chill activity, and it was a good chance to spend some time together before the craziness of rush started. On Saturday, the Athenians headed to Greenville to paint some pottery. We just got the coffee mugs back this weekend, and they all turned out really cute! Sunday marked the beginning of our spring rush, and the theme is famous pop stars. We have five great girls rushing, and they did an awesome job at big hair night last night. We're so excited to get to know these girls more as rush continues. I hope everyone has a great week!
