All that week they were sitting outside our cafeteria collecting wishes, $1 per wish, and then at the football game that saturday they asked everyone to wear blue and they released blue balloons at halftime. They had raffles and stuff too but I didn't see that part.
Bid day this year was, from what I heard, different than in the past because it was on a day when there was a home football game. That usually doesn't happen, and groups usually go bowling or skating for bid day but this year we had to stay on campus because some of our girls were in band and color guard. We got the community center all day and played games.
Over homecoming weekend, we walked in our schools homecoming parade. Our Alumni came up and it was so cool meeting them because I realized that will be me someday!! And that is the legacy I am carrying on. Also, we had a secret candle ceremony where one of our seniors boyfriends proposed to her!!!! Cutest proposal ever!
We had a team in another sororities dodgeball tournament, and we had a scholarship dinner. My favorite moment this semester was our mixer with one of the fraternities. We went to a haunted house. I've never been to one, and I was more terrified than I ever have been in my life, but at the end I realized I had more fun than I had in a long time.
I can't wait to see what next semester brings!

At my school and the school right up the road (our greek communities band together a lot, because we're both small schools), each fraternity and sorority has their own week (technically three days) dedicated to their philanthropy. Everyone competes in everyone else's and there is a points system and a big winner at the end. During our week we have a Banner competition, a dodgeball tournament, "wishing well" (aka penny wars) and serenades--aka the best night ever. haha. Every chapter pays to participate, and it's so much fun.
This semester we participated in Delta Gamma's, Delta Tau Delta's & Beta Theta Pi's philanthropy weeks.
We had a Thanksgiving dinner with the fraternity that I'm a sweetheart of (Phi Gamma Delta), and it was SO great. We took some fantastic family photos and ate way too much. haha. I love mixers! They also surprised us and brought over a giant Jenga game painted with our colors and about a million owl cupcakes. It was so cute.
Have you been to a formal yet?
