I want to be a Beta wife.

So I have been anxiously waiting a very special day for quite a while now. And by the title you may think I'm engaged, but it's actually lyrics from the Beta sweetheart song, from when I was pinned. :)

So here's the scoop. 

A pinning is when a guy wants to extend his brotherhood to his girlfriend and make her an honorary member of his chapter. It also just so happens to be a sort of "next steps" in a Greek relationship. Not quite engaged, but something a little more special than just dating.

What happened? Well about 60 of my favorite Beta friends showed up to the Pi Palace, and walked in in a line, each holding a rose. One by one they gave me a rose while singing a Beta song. To make things even better I had over 100 of my ADPi sisters there watching. :)

Soo at the end of this Beta train is the guy who melts my heart, Dustin. Looking so freaking cute I can't handle it.

He kneels down and I sit upon his knee (which was almost impossible because he was SO nervous = even more cuteness for Dustin).

Then the entire chapter sings ::
"How would you like to be a Beta Sweetheart? How would you like to wear a beta pin? How would you like to gaze upon the diamond? Gem of gems that never grows dim. How would yuo like to share a Beta friendship? Friendship that will last through life. How would you like to love a Beta always?"
and then everyone stops singing and Dustin sings::
"How would you like to be a Beta wife?"

In all, I got 66 roses. wow. and received the pin of the love of my life.

All in all, a pretty great day. Oh, and I cried. surprise, surprise. 


Not pictured: the awesome candle that Nicki made for me for the candle passing ceremony. Thank you so much girl, I love it. :)

Catching up time: Treehugger

Treehugger, Betas annual camping trip, was about a month ago.

I know, I suck at blogging recently.

But this year, Treehugger was way better than last. Why?

It wasn't the temperature of the arctic.

Plus I think knowing that it's your "last" of college experiences makes everything that much better. In a way.

campin baby!

straight thuggin

such a girl

I hate setting up the tent, and I don't really like using nature as my personal bathroom, but camping can be fabulous :)

Catching up time: Homecoming week part 4

And here it is! The Homecoming Game!

The day started off with some Olive Garden, delicious. Then off to give some house tours to Brandon and Nicki!

When it came time for the parade, we were all excited to be able to ride on the float! (Nicki and Brandon rode in the truck bed, Dustin was driving the float, and I was one of the few on the actual float. Fun fun fun!

Later that day after hanging out at Beta for a while we went to the game! Brandons first college football experience, and it was a good one! and obviously, we won.

Confession Wednesdays: 11

Homecoming, is awesome.

Especially when your roomie/sister/close friend is the Alpha Delta Pi homecoming chair, your boyfriend is the homecoming chair for Beta (our date), and when you are the Vice President of Homecoming Communication, Liaison, and Middle manness (VPHCLM).

This has been such a fabulous week (thank goodness I didn't really have any homework, papers, or tests... because that would be greatly sucking the fun out of this week.

Having your sisters spend an entire week with a fraternity you have become extremely close with over the last 2 years is quite a treat.

More next week!

senior year dream.
