Lunch Date with Laura Sweet

So, today I had my meeting with the Greek Advisor, Maggie very nicely the day before had shown me where to go, by the way, this camps has a bowling alley in their Student Center! I couldn't believe it! I had my meeting with the Greek Advisor and Panhellenic advisor, and then Greek Advisor asked me if I had seen Laura Sweet, our National President since she works on campus, and I said that I had met her in Indianapolis at a conference. So, he suggested that at the end of our meeting we stop by her office.

So, we did! And Laura greeted me with a hug, invited me to sit down down and asked me to lunch! I had planned on eating lunch at the house but she invited me to go out with her. So of course I could not say no! We went into town a little bit, there seem to be alot of cute restaurants and shops. We talked a little bit about Indianapolis, apparently the toast the the Leadership Consultants gave to the guests at dinner went over really well, Laura is still hearing about it. We also talked about our colonization going on at University of Missouri-Mizzou, she will actually be traveling there the same time I will be! She dropped me off at the chapter house, it was so unexpected and made today really great, how many days in your life do you get to have a private lunch with Laura Sweet!

Today is Philanthropy day, and is being held in the Chapter House. At this round there is food, delicious looking brownies, cheese cubes, vegetables and dip. There are also coloring books to put together for the Sigma Serves Children initiative for the Sigma Sigma Sigma Foundation, it supports play therapy programs for terminally ill children. After today the coloring books that were created will be sent to a local children's hospital.

Tomorrow if Preference. I'm really excited to attend this ceremony and see how this chapter performs it. This is when many Potential New Members make their decision about which sorority they would like to belong to. Some members will give speeches about what the organization means to them or how it helped them through a hard time, I was warned that there may be crying both from sisters and PNMs.
