- Living in the dorms. Even though it was small and had crappy cafeteria food, I loved having everyone just down the hall (I never lived in my sorority house)
- My dorm friends…even though we all were doing our own things by senior year, we still made it a point to get together a few times every semester and party like we did in the dorms
- Football games/basketball games…I didn’t go to many but I went to some very memorable ones (ex: Chief Illiniwek’s last game!!)
- We had a food place in our dorm that was open all day and until 12…unlike the café, the food there was DELICIOUS!!
- Rush (on both side of it!)
- Chapter installation and being initiated by our national president
- Barn dances!! If your chapters didn’t have them, YES, they are exactly what they sound like…so fun!
- Laying on the quad after class when we had nothing better to do
- Those first two weeks of school where all the fraternities were having their rush parties
- The Halloween party me and my roommie had during our sophomore year
- UNOFFICIAL
- Summer visits to school
- The double snow day…My school apparently hasn’t had one since my fiance’s parents went there in the late 70’s. Then we had TWO back to back.
- Dancing at my favorite bars
- Me and my friends being those obnoxious girls who would ask the basketball players if we can take a picture with them when we would see them out
- The first time I could hand the doorman my 19-year-old ID and could gain bar entrance (love that Champaign law)
- Random apartment parties
- Kissing fiance (then boyfriend) under the "eternal flame" ever year on the last night of school
- Singing "Hail to the Orange" at sporting events
- On the last night of school, my dorm friends and I would celebrate..big time! We did this every year except senior year when we had a:
- Graduation barcrawl
- My first sorority semi formal
- My first college apartment, even though my bedroom was the size of my cubical
- Getting accepted into Alpha Delta Sigma (advertising honor society)
I've been gone for just over two months and I miss it so much!
