Many of the best experiences I've had a Rockhurst have been a result of being involved in Greek Life on campus. I can go on and on about
Greek Life for hours; about how beneficial our organizations are to the community, about sisterhood and friendship, leadership and love. But I won't today. Instead I'll tell you about two Greek-related activities that happened this past week.
On Saturday a group of girls from my sorority car-pooled out to Liberty, Mo. to go to the pumpkin patch! Being from Omaha, I am very spoiled when it comes to pumpkin patches -
Vala's Pumpkin Patch is probably the best pumpkin patch in the world - but
Carolyn's Country Cousins is very cute and fun in its own sense. They have fudge and cider slushees and pumpkin donuts that are to die for. Oh yeah, and it has the same name as me.
We all had a really great time going on the hay ride and picking out pumpkins. Then we walked around and took pictures and watched Uncle Lester's pig races. While were were there, however, there were two separate instances where strangers approached our group and asked about people they know who are ASAs at other schools. That just goes to show how being in Greek Life connects you with a wide variety of people you wouldn't have been connected to otherwise.
Then last night
Panhellenic Council hosted a kickball tournament in which all the sororities and freshmen were invited to attend. I learned two things from that event: 1.) I need to start working out, because I'm feeling sore this morning from playing kickball for less than an hour, and 2.) if all my friends from different sororities are on one team, we are going to lose. That's okay, though, because we got really into it and had a great time.
