Trans Fats and Honduras
What a title! Yes folks I lived through sorority recruitment. It involved a lot of episodes of that HBO show with Sarah Jessica Parker... and lots of Trans Fats. I worked a total of 43 hours between Friday and Sunday... and the only thing on the menu was unhealthy food. McDonalds double Quarter pounder meals, BK Breakfast, tons of coffee for early mornings, greasy tacos for dinner, and candy all day long. I think I gained ten pounds just this weekend.

All in all (despite the weight gain) my first Panhel recruitment as the head honcho went well. My staff was amazing, and four out of six chapters took Quota. So I am pumped. It was a fun experience and I am surprisingly looking forward to next years recruitment (especially since my students think the school made me sign a two year contract to finally get a Greek advisor to stay longer then 10 months, got to love rumors).

Recruitment Kick Off: Pizza Party and Fashion show. Don't want to wear the wrong thing to the wrong event!

This is a picture from Rho Gamma Revealing: The PNMs held up color cards for their guess of the Rho Gams affiliation. Everyone was so excited.

Before handing out Bids, I gave some props to my staff, and small gifts to my Recruitment Team! I could not have done this without them.

The excitement after cards were opened was too much! Women jumping and screaming all over... It was great!

So recruitment is over... now back to the rest of my work. This week was busy, you can tell cause it took me three days to blog about recruitment. I do have some exciting news... today I paid my deposit to go to Honduras on a service trip with our Organization for Latino/a Awareness (OLA). So that means from March 3rd to March 14th I will be gone to Tegucigalpa, Honduras. We are working at a place called "Mission Honduras". I am very excited... and if you are excited... help me fundraise!

Anyhow... this weekend I am presenting at the GVSU Greek Leadership Conference. A conference that I helped start and run the first one three years ago. It was a nice little conference bringing over 250 students from 10 Michigan schools together. Looks to me like the registration is low since they are not running a lot of sessions per time slot, and I am a little worried that I appear to booked into one of the biggest presentation rooms... I was hoping to do small sessions... not a big presentation. I guess it will be a good way to start doing some bigger things.

Before the conference I am running to Chicago. I took Friday off work so I could still see Novali and get to do this conference. So Friday will be a good and relaxing time with Novali before my presentations at GVSU. I am pretty excited cause this weekend will be a nice change of pace for me!

But my busy travel time is now upon me... Chicago this weekend... GLC Conference on Saturday... MGCA is two weeks after that and I am presenting three programs there... and then my Honduras trip... and then off to San Francisco for WRGLC and I might get asked last minute to do some programs there as well...
