It's that beautiful time of year when the leaves start to change and football season is in full swing! Last weekend I visited The University of Illinois for game day. While watching an unfortunate loss to Michigan, I was inspired to put together some of my game day essentials for all of you! …

Back to Campus with Babbleboxx
It's almost back-to-school time! I was walking near my former college campus earlier this week and I was amazed by how odd it felt... I only graduated in May, but seeing so many freshman around campus really brings it home that I won't be going back to school tomorrow! I used to love buying back-to-school supplies and prepping for the new year. I got to do a bit of back-to-campus prep with Babbleboxx and in today's post I'll be sharing and reviewing all the fun goodies they sent over …
To My Freshman Self
To my freshman self, College is an incredibly tumultuous time in life and some days it can get especially stressful and scary. However, college is going to be the best four years of your life. Go ahead and call me crazy, but I promise you that it's true. …
Carnation Ball 2017
This past Friday, I attended my final Chi Omega formal of my college career... That's just as weird to type as it is to comprehend! As hard as it is to believe, senior year is really starting to come to a close. Carnation Ball was absolutely incredible and I can honestly say that it was one of the very best formal experiences I've had during my time at Loyola. Being surrounded by some of my very best friends, all dressed up and dancing the night away to our favorite songs, made Friday truly the …
My Greek Life Experience – A Senior’s Perspective
Spring recruitment at Loyola University Chicago is this weekend and I'm still having trouble processing that it will be my last. My last recruitment weekend, my last open house round, my last philanthropy round, my last pref round and, of course, my last bid day.

Greeks Giving Back: Granting Wishes & Curing Cancer
I'm in shock at how fast this year is flying by. How is it already mid-October? As a senior within the Greek Life community at Loyola, I always associate fall and the months of October and November with philanthropy because two of the philanthropies that are nearest and dearest to my heart take place during fall semester... Derby Days for the Huntsman Cancer Institute & Dodgeball for Make-a-Wish! Derby Days Today marks the halfway point of Derby Days, which is a …

ΧΩ Recruitment ’16 Recap – Welcome to My House
Last weekend, Panhellenic Recruitment took place at Loyola University Chicago and my chapter gained 65 amazing new members! One of my favorite things about recruitment is getting to spend quality time with my sisters and having the chance to spend time with girls who I don't usually hang out with. I've found that I come out of the experience with closer friends each time and it is truly such a blessing and an amazing experience to boot! Today I'm sharing some photos and a few quick snippets …
Why I’m Glad I Went Greek
It’s official. Tomorrow kicks off Panhellenic recruitment at Loyola University Chicago! I am SO excited to be on the recruiting side once again this year and to meet so many amazing PNMs (potential new members)! When I rushed back in Fall 2013 I had so much fun and I found my home in the Lambda Mu chapter of Chi Omega! I’m asked recruitment questions, quite regularly, by girls I know personally and by my readers. Their questions vary from “What’s the best sorority?” to “How will I know that …
