I feel so behind! this weekend has been crazy busy, so it may take me a little bit to catch up. first off...I left Friday morning for Dahlonega for Rush weekend. this was one of the most tiring absolutely exhausting weekends of my life each of my college years, but oh so wonderful. each year as we met new girls & attempted to tell them how great Alpha Gam is, it was a reminder of what it was for me. joining a sorority at all was such a God thing for me...I wanted the opportunity to connect with girls, be a light for Him, but also be encouraged by those around me...& I found all of that in Alpha Gamma Delta. my college years produced the most spiritual growth of any in my life so far, & Alpha Gam is a HUGE part of that.
on to details...
Friday morning/afternoon consisted of Just Dance with Cait, time with my sweet little & some other friends, &...that's about it. which was lovely :)
Friday night we went to campus & helped set up for the 1st round of parties. & then Case & I worked on invitations for the 2nd round until the wee hours before we went back to Cait's & slept what felt like five minutes.
every year, the Saturday of recruitment weekend, the alumnae provide lunch for the collegians, so Case & I spent that morning getting ready & making food to take.
proof that Theta Delta has something good going on: this is how many alum were there just on Saturday...there were others throughout the weekend.
we stayed to see the run-through of that night's skits & then Case, Beth, Katie, & I headed to Athens to meet up with Em for a girls' night.
& the rest will just have to wait since their may be a LOT of pictures to edit before that post...
#90. sisterhood even after graduation.
#91. such a lovely little college town to go back to.
#92. God in the Greek community.
#93. the God-given convictions for me to throw away the stereotypes I held pre-freshman year & see that I needed to be a part of AGD.
Hey Lindsey! I found your blog through another blog I read and I am enjoying reading yours! Did you go to NGCSU? I go to Toccoa Falls and I am transferring elsewhere in the Fall. I am just really interested in what you were saying about your sorority because I feel like that is what I've been looking for in my life at college yet not finding...the chance to be a light for Jesus and minister YET also experience growth through community! I was just really encouraged to hear you describe that because I feel like when I try to explain what I'm looking for, a lot of people don't really get it. So anyways, I was just curious and wanted to stop and say thanks for sharing! :)
