This is so sad. One of our sisters has been in touch with an Epsilon Lambda sister, and we were told that Nicole was found in the rubble by her best friend, 24 hours after the storm began. I know she is in our thoughts and prayers, as are her family and friends.
As a memorial, we are all wearing black and pink ribbons with our badges on Monday. I encourage all Gamma Phis to do the same.

That being said, no one should ever, EVER do that. Especially after James Spann tells you, "that is HUGE". BTW, I saved this comment, because it's correct, and shows just how crazy this kid was:
"Knowing the University Mall area like I do, he was approixmately less than 1000 feet away from the eventual path at his first vantage point. Thankfully he moved to the other end of the parking lot near the soldiers memorial and turned back around toward the tornado. At that point he was probably only 1500 feet from the path of the tornado. At the end when he drove toward the tornado, he was only about 300 feet from the path."

The Tuscaloosa mayor was just on Anderson Copper 360 and reported 39 confirmed dead and 446 still missing in Tuscaloosa. They are bringing in cadaver dogs tomorrow. Please continue to pray for all those affected.
In a statement released today, Dr. Witt, UA's President, wrote, "Many of you have asked for additional ways you can help. Contributions to the UA Acts of Kindness Fund will be used to help UA students, faculty and staff who need assistance as a result of storm damage."

In addition to the UA Acts of Kindness Fund. Because so many are injured, one of the most critical needs is blood. It can be donated anywhere but designated for Tuscaloosa. Continued prayers are with the entire area hit by these storms but most especially Tuscaloosa.

Really? Then I'm off to the blood bank when they open today.
ETA: just did it, never let it be said that I wouldn't shed my blood for the SEC.

All KDs are safe.
Blood is always needed and is often not thought about when natural disasters occur. DONATE! Your donation can save up to three lives. It only takes an hour out of your day!
P.S. Carnation, you are a true fan.

And juice boxes! How often do you get to have juice boxes as an older kid?

Not today! They hurried everyone out the door at 1:00, obviously anxious to get on with their weekend since they were locking the doors as we were stepping out.
So no juice box or cookies, although we did get pretty blue and brown donor shirts.
