Out of the Loop
Alright... Party on Perry is over. This week I will get to returning phone calls, emailing, posting pictures, and other normal life activities for me in Albion. Saturday was a program I helped invent called Party on Perry. We had a huge block party. Bands, food, games, prizes... a big chair and anything else you can think of. The elephant ears were the best, and the fresh squeezed lemonade hit the spot on a hot day. We had perfect weather, and I had my first experience in a dunk tank.

The event became bigger then I ever imagined. The original idea was to get a nice afternoon event to get people together, and to get the Greeks doing something different and working with more people. The event became the largest fall event... we had about half the student body at our event! So needless to say preparing for it this week was a lot of work. On top of that I am in the middle of sorority recruitment, helping with Hispanic Heritage Month planning, and I have all my other Greek responsibilities. So to those who called me or emailed me asking me things sorry if I was a little out of it last week and did not respond. Life should become about normal as it is for me soon.

I am hoping to post some Party on Perry pictures soon. It was an amazing experience. I learned a ton more about big event programming, worked with some great students and got to take a picture of the college president in our Big Chair at the event. It was great! We have the ideas and are thinking about next year already...
