what an incredible week & weekend!

Emma, John and me ventured down to Jacksonville for the first round of the NCAA tournament to see the Terriers take on Wisconsin. Emma and I stayed with some sorority sisters who also made the trip down. It was so neat to see Wofford History before our eyes! We had great seats which was awesome as well.

This past week has been Greek Week. Wednesday was Lip Sync, where our sorority tied for 3rd. I am definitely not coordinated enough to participate in the actual video!

Thursday was the deadline for penny wars. All the sororities compete to see who can have the "least" amount of negative change at the end of the week. Pennies and checks are positive, silver and cash are negative. Rolled coins as well as checks and cash count for double points. We found out on our way to Jacksonville that we had stolen the win for penny wars (worth twice the points for lipsync overall). All the money raised for different events throughout the week goes towards special olympics.

Saturday was Greek Games. This involved the tug-of-war, 100 yard relay, keg role, chariot race, pie eating contest, softball toss, and 3 legged race. There are also other events. After a very long 2.5 hours, Theta took home second place! I was so pumped.

We found out later Saturday night that we tied Zeta for 1st place overall. This is the first time in 5 years Theta has won! We also raised $6,800 / $8,000 goal we had. There are still other events in the spring to help raise the money the special olympics needs to compete in the national competition!
