The pledge process! And other randomness.

Hi all!

This past week and weekend were SO exciting! As you know, I was accepted as an official pledge of my school's chapter of Alpha Phi Omega!

My bid card! I've removed both mine and our pledgemaster's information.

After events Monday-Thursday, we found out on Friday whether or not we were accepted. Next stop: pinning! On Sunday I received my pledge pin.

Sorry about the picture quality. The "P" in the middle stands for pledge, obviously.

As you can tell, I was pretty stoked. 

Meet the Spring 2013 Pledge Class of Alpha Phi Omega, Alpha Delta Xi chapter! Can you spot me? :P

Brotherhood education/chapter meetings start this Sunday! I'm a little bummed that it will (for now) interrupt my Sunday dinners with Dylan's family, but I'll survive. I could not be more excited to have joined such wonderful brothers as a pledging member, and I look forward to one day wearing their letters!

This week is pretty dreary and cold - I'm babying a sick Dylan, studying for a herpetology exam, and trying to survive without getting sick. Over the weekend, Saturday night to be exact, Peninsula SPCA hosted their annual Fur Ball, a black tie gala-style event where donors and friends can have dinner, socialize, donate, and participate in live and silent auctions where all the proceeds go to our facility. They even brought some pets! I wish I had taken a camera, because seeing dogs all dressed up was adorable! Here's what I wore:

Please forgive my awful photography and my paleness!
Dress: Forever 21
Shoes: Kohl's, but I've had them since I was in the 8th grade :P #smallfeetproblems

We raised over $150,000! It was insanely successful, and the money goes to such a good cause. I'm so glad I helped make it happen!

Other than that, here's all the outfit stuff I have, but it basically sums up all of how I dress in the winter. Big sweater, leggings, scarf.
Sweater: Target (stolen from Maurissa)
Scarf: Gift from Dylan when he went to London a year ago :3
Leggings: Forever 21

Also, today was Signing Day. CNU likes to make a big deal out of everything, and declaring majors is no exception! Every spring semester, sophomores have to formally and officially declare their majors. Mine hasn't changed, but I still had to go through the motions -_- but I got a button, so it's worth it! (slight sarcasm).

I'm now proudly sporting this on my school bag :)

That's about all I got for ya folks - off to go do some chemistry!
