As most of you know (either through our Gamma Phi Beta emails, facebook pages, or my own personal blog), my name is Chaney Barton and I will be keeping y'all up to date through this blog! I'm excited about my first post, especially since we've had stuff going on recently, but I feel like a small introduction is in order:
Like I said, my name is Chaney Barton, and I joined Gamma Phi in Fall 2010! I'm a marketing major with a journalism minor and was probably discovered as a "blogger" through my personal blog. Because of that, I was recently asked to take over posting about our sisterhood on this very site. I'm very excited to keep everyone updated about what's going on in our chapter, and I would love to hear about what you want to read. So if you have pictures or stories that you want to tell, just email me at this address! Most of all, I want this blog to be interesting to people who may not be in our sorority but just stumble across this page, so my goal is to thoroughly explain what we're all about: Love, Labor, Learning, and Loyalty!
That's enough about myself-- now for our latest news:
Even though summer for most means pushing thoughts of school to the backs of our minds and soaking up as much sun as possible, some girls keep themselves busy year-around with their school year commitments. This definitely goes for the girls that are getting us ready for Formal Recruitment which is just right around the corner!
During the spring we began attending workshops to prepare us for the hectic two weeks that take place in August: Spirit Week and Recruitment Week!
This past weekend we had the Summer Recruitment Workshop back at the Gamma Phi Beta house in College Station! For many of us, it was a weekend of reuniting with sisters-- which meant lots of excited chatter about summer vacations! Our early morning started out with a very interesting power point from two Gamma Phi Beta alumnae: Terri Briggs and Linda Johnson. After that, Kayla Graham, Kylie Boykin, Michaella Walton, and our president, Hannah Kight kept us busy for the afternoon by preparing the newest members (Fall 2010 and Spring 2011) for their first look on the member-side of recruitment! I think I can speak for all of us when I say that we're anxious, nervous, and most of all, EXCITED to meet our new members!!
I hope to have some pictures to post later in the week that were taken at the workshop, so keep checking back for that!
This was my first time using blogger.com (I use wordpress for my personal blog) so I'm still trying to get the hang of it! Thank Marisa Chapa for our beautiful layout!
I would love to hear what you think-- leave me comments, and follow our blog! I have some ideas for future posts that I think will keep everyone interested!
Thanks for reading!
until next time,Chaney
