Mizzou Colony

Its been so exciting being in Missouri and helping to set up the colony. This week has been really busy, conducting membership interviews, having formal recruitment parties. I saw the Mid-Missouri chapter get their charter presented by Laura Sweet. We also received about 225 applications and extending about 140 bids for membership, our biggest chapter of Sigma : )

Its been so great to see the women of the Mu Chapter, and Eta Alpha come to help out. To really see how exciting it is for everyone to have a new colony start up. Last night we had a Bid Day celebration. All of the new members went to the columns on Mizzou's campus and we took pictures, pumped some jams it was good times. There was a sea of neon green t-shirts, its seems that Sigma is very fond of neon green this year, not too great for my milky white skin-tone! Some of the men from the Interfraternity Council and women from Panhellenic came, along with Julie Mizzou's Greek Advisor. So much planning and preparation had gone into this night, we finally have a colony!!! It was great to see everything come together and to know how much hard work had been put into this colony. Tiffany is going to be great as the Residential Leadership Consultant

It was amazing to see everyone so excited to come and put on a t-shirt that has Sigma letters on it. We also went to Grocery Bag Bingo, which I never understood until last night. Everyone gets Bingo cards and they give away groceries as prizes! How cool is that when you are in college.

Missouri is fun. Things that are different: naming highways with letters like highway Z or highway AB? But all of the open space in Missouri from Columbia to Jefferson City, aka where I drove to pick the other LC's up from the train station, there were these really pretty yellow flowers, that look like a combination between a sunflower and a black eyed susan. I think they are wildflowers, they are everywhere along side the road.
