Theta sisters, what's new?

Hello Theta Sisters!

I just wanted to bump this thread in hopes of hearing updates on how everyone is doing.

I don't have much news to report. Grad school is keeping me super busy. I'm finding time to volunteer and be active in Junior League when I can. And, I'm just desperate to get out of this Wisconsin weather. It has been the worst winter I can ever remember and I'm so ready for it to be spring!

How is everyone else doing?

Well, I don't have a lot to report, but I'm in my last semester as an undergrad, so that's really exciting. I'm in the writing stages of my Thesis paper, and it's been a long time coming (almost a whole year now), and this is really exciting because in March (during my spring break) I get to go to the Cordilleran/Rocky Mountain GSA (Geologic Society of America) conference in Las Vegas to give a poster presentation about it. Just the fact that I'm an expert on a catastrophic mudflow that took place in the Puget Lowland about 16,950 years ago, makes me giddy beyond all reason.

In other news, going along the lines of what ThetaDancer said, today is the first monday here in the Seattle area that's sunny and warm enough (read... JUST warm enough) to wear a skirt for chapter!

Another update: We just initiated 16 new Thetas into the Delta Iota Chapter, and they are all absolutely the best women imaginable. So Proud. This was my last initiation as an undergrad.

Here's another: I'm graduating from college tomorrow. Woah.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! What an accomplishment to be proud of! What is your degree in?

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! To answer your question, I'm receiving a BS in Geology from the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, WA. My degree has been a long time coming. At my school, the geology degree has more departmental requirements to graduate than any other major (17), and this includes a year long thesis project, and a 6-week summer field camp, so I do feel quite accomplished.

I just feel so strange because I've been on GC since I was a PNM (all cute and naive), and people here have really seen my entire journey through the greek system, even now as I move into my life as an alumna member. It's just so surreal. I mean right now as I write this I'm in my room for my last night living in the Theta house here at school.

That is sooo neat!!!!!!!

I forgot to post my more recent news, I got elected to the Student Government Hall of Fame at UNF! This is the highest honor you can get, and I totally didn't expect it! I am one of only a few women to receive this honor! Also as far as I know I am only the second Greek women to get the award, the recipient last year was a ZTA.
