Prim and Proper:Panhellenic’s Etiquette PresentationThis February we were transported back to an era of higher civility when “manners actually mattered.” We were instructed in proper etiquette beyond proper dinner manners by Anita Shower, also known as “Miss Etiquette,” a self proclaimed etiquette expert and newspaper columnist for the SLO City News. The presentation was sponsored by the Panhellenic Association. Although the advice was a bit old fashioned, we appreciated Shower’s deadpan wit and valuable tips.
“Big-Little Week...We Want You In Our Family!”Theta’s newest members had a blast at Revealing
Through the course of a new member’s pledge period, she gets a “big”--a big sister who is a member of a higher pledge class. The relationship between big and little is particularly special because the big sister acts as a mentor and a role model in addition to being a close friend. The new big-little pairs are as follows: Kelly Doyle and Adriana Hidalgo, Sydney Lane and Angela Accomazzo, Jessi Grant and Christia Brockman, Cate Mitchell and Stacy Shannon, and Megan Qvistgaard and Lauren Feuerborn.
What We’ve Been Up To
Bonding Through SisterhoodGo, Kite, Win!
Thetas came out in numbers at Greek Goblet ’11
The first sisterhood was “Greek Goblet” at the Men’s Basketball Game. “Greek Goblet” is similar to the sisterhood we had last month except that it also doubles as a competition in which the Panhellenic sorority with the most girls in attendance at the game was awarded $500 to their national philanthropy. Unfortunately, Kappa Alpha Theta got second place after Chi Omega. Nonetheless, we all had fun making signs, and cheering as loud as we could. That night the Mustangs beat their arch-rivals the UC Davis Aggies 65-56.
Showing some Theta Love:Strengthening our Sisterhood on Valentine’s Day!
Everyone has an opinion about Valentine’s Day: some people, presumably enjoying a blissful relationship with their significant other, relish in the gift giving and the elaborately planned romantic gesture (think champagne and Godiva chocolates) Other bitter singles like myself prefer to write off the “holiday” as a conspiracy, carefully plotted by the executives at Hallmark. Thankfully, Theta hosted a Valentine’s Day sisterhood activity to distract me from the dearth of red roses I received this fourteenth day of February. At the event, Zeta Thetas unleashed their inner Martha Stewarts in decorating delectable cupcakes. We also did “speed dating” which helped us to become better acquainted with the newer members. As for the members we already knew all too well, “speed dating” enabled us to spend a little time together and share some Theta Love!
Exchanges
In February we had one exchange with Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity. The theme was “Rescue Me”. Such a broad theme was open to interpretation! Many Thetas were very creative in their costume choices. All the fun went down at Vallartas’s, a Mexican restaurant
downtown. Everyone had a fun time dancing, hanging out, and meeting new people. Theta Junior, Stephanie Shaffer, (aka: DJ GΘLDIE LAX) once again wowed everyone with her DJ skills spinning awesome tracks all night long!
