Happy Spring, Sisters!

It feels like this semester just started, but it is already springtime here at Erskine!  The Athenians have already done some really fun things.  In February, we had a Mardi Gras-themed pancake breakfast fundraiser!  We sold green and purple pancakes in Watkins.  It was really fun, and we raised a lot of money!  A few weeks ago, we put on our spring formal. The theme was "Arabian Nights," and it was a really great night!  I hope everyone's spring has gotten off to a great start and can't wait to see everyone at Alumni Day in April!

Christmas 2011

Hello butterflies!

The Athenians started off the Christmas season with a visit to Covenant Way in Due West.  We visited with the residents and sang Christmas carols to get into the holiday spirit.  The residents were so sweet and a blast to sing with. :)  Before exam week, all of the sisters gathered for a festive Christmas party in Robinson lobby.  We exchanged Secret Sister and Dirty Santa gifts.  We also had a visit from Santa himself! It was a great way to relax before the stress of exam week began.  2011 was an amazing year to be an Athenian, and we can't wait to make our sisters even more proud in 2012! 

Fall Rush 2011- It's a Safari!

Hello Sisters!

The semester so far has been full of exciting Athenian events! Our Fall Retreat was last Friday. We all went to El Q. and made crafts in Watkins. It was a great time of sister bonding. :) We also hosted Bingo Night a few weeks ago. We raised alot of money for the Susan G. Komen Foundation and had a great time doing it! We just finished rush last Thursday. The theme was safari, and it was definitely wild! We're excited to welcome Kat Mulzer, Hannah Oates, Ellie Jacks, Kasi Benskin, and Katie Busbee into the society. These girls gave their all during rush, and we're so pumped to call them sisters! Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving! Be looking for a new blog next month.

Oh, Some Stuff I forgot!

We went roller skating in Greenwood for our spring retreat! One of the sketchiest places in town!! 7 year olds making out in the corners, and some guys dressed like they were trying to be "gangsta" with some dance moves. They were actually good but the fact that they thought they were all that was so funny, I was embarrassed for the. Oh, and did I mention one of them was a gray haired!! Probably in his mid 40s maybe 50s! Ha Ha. We also had our formal at this really pretty old house that made me feel like I was living in a fairy tale!! Ok, bye for real this time... I think.

Hello sisters!!

Sorry that this blog has once again gotten away from me! Rush ended several weeks ago, we now have 7 new sisters!! Congratulations to Alex Oakes, Brooke Dodge, Casey Hughes, Anna Johnson, Paris Hanvey, Isabelle Forbes, and Leslie McGill!!! Thinking back to rush events... almost everyone's personal favorite, Miss Big Hair, Anna Johnson kept it in the family and was crowned Miss Big Hair (I'm such a proud mama :)) and Brooke Dodge was crowned for Biggest Hair!! The Miss Erskine Pageant was a success again, emceed by reigning Miss Erskine, Taylor Wolfe, and Tillary Blackman! Elizabeth DeVault was crowned Miss Erskine 2011, first runner up was Schadell Brooks, and second runner up was our own Meghan Matthews.  Meghan stunned the crowd with her stand up comedy routine while Schadell and Elizabeth sang.  The Relay for Life walk has been postponed until the fall since there is soo much going on this spring at Erskine.  The Athenians just had a successful fundraiser, we had a car wash.  We have visited our widow several times this semester, Rebekah Harkins and I even got to see her during the Widow's Ministry over spring break, she now has a ramp in her garage to avoid the steps!  Look out for information about Alumni weekend, we would love to see you guys!! 

Agape.  :)

Happy very belated New Year!

Hello Everyone!
Sorry that it has been so long since I have posted. I was hoping to have Christmas party pictures so I could kill 2 birds with one stone (invisible, not real birds of course,wouldn't want to actually kill them), but that's no excuse for leaving you guys hanging for so long.  Spring rush is starting very soon! We have our last study break and open meeting this week, as well as our pre-rush social! I am also excited to report that we will be hosting the Miss Erskine Pageant again this year, with 2010's Miss Erskine, Taylor Wolfe will be em-ceeing along with Tillary Blackman. The theme will be Tiffany & Co. We have also decided to go camping at the Barn for our spring retreat on April 1st, hopefully it will be full of April Fool's shenanigans. I hope you are all well and having a great start to spring with the nice warm weather. I'll post again soon! :)
