Formal season is upon us! I can't believe ADPi has theirs in just 2 weeks! If you're headed off to your sorority's or organization's formal or your high school's prom, then this post is for you. Since my junior year prom, I have always though formal season to be a little overwhelming. I hope today's post helps ease your mind a little bit. To me, short formal dresses are so underrated. I wore a short dress to my senior year prom, which was traditionally full of long dresses,

We're in the dead of winter right now. Currently, Virginia is experiencing the coldest three weeks of the year. Annually, the first handful of weeks in January are frigid and bring single digit temperatures, meaning it's time to bundle up. Being in the middle of the Shenandoah Valley doesn't help either, but by now I'm a pro at dressing for a long day of class while keeping my look cute and warm. Today I'm sharing my four favorite outfits for a long day at class. Although I'm

Winter sorority recruitment is just around the corner and today I'm bringing you everything you need to succeed this rush season. A little disclaimer though, wear what you're confident in! Dressing nice during recruitment is so you can put your best foot forward, not to impress sororities with what you wear or how much you spend. If any chapter judges you solely off what you wear and how you look then it's not a chapter worth joining. Wear what makes you feel the most beautif

One weekend down, one to go -- and I am feeling the aftermath of 1000+ girls in the exact same room. If you haven't been on my Instagram lately then you haven't seen my several sorority posts I made this past weekend. JMU is going through fall formal recruitment right now and not even a hurricane can stop us. This year, we are hosting two weekends of recruitment with the more casual rounds last weekend and the more formal sisterhood and pref rounds this upcoming weekend. I am

And just like that, summer's gone. Four months flew by in the blink of an eye and now I find myself sitting here at 11:07 pm on the eve of my junior year of college. In just 8 hours my alarm will sound and I'll wake up and catch the bus and start my third year of school and oh my gosh, am I excited! I'm in the minority of students who absolutely love school. Every thing about getting back to a schedule, eating in a dining hall and turning in assignments is something that I do

When I ask about which greek life posts you want to read, I always get a really high response rate. I big chunk of those responses are asking about the "other side" of recruitment. For those unfamiliar, the "other side" is going through recruitment as a sister, where you now are recruiting girls to join your sorority. In truth, this part of recruitment is long and sometimes irritating, but overall a great experience. The week lends itself greatly to making new memories and me

I haven't styled too many black and white outfits and I'm a little disappointed in myself! The color combo is such a classic, and both colors can be styled year round, so why on earth would I not share more?! On Friday, my sorority had a PR photoshoot for recruitment in the fall to be used on social media, the chapter website, and for frames in the house. The color scheme was black, white, and denim so I thought, why not kill two birds with one stone and shoot this fun B&W ou

April is officially formal season, my apologies in advance if I missed your formal by a weekend! I know all different clubs, organizations, and Greek chapters are planning their formals so that means it's time to go dress shopping. I'm currently trying to fit three on my calendar (I don't think it'll work out!). Being on campus, there aren't too many great formal dress shopping locations around, so most of us end up shopping online. Dress shopping online can be such a tough t

On Tuesday evening, Alpha Delta Pi was named the JMU sorority of the year! Truly, this is a huge honor and to be a part of this chapter is incredible. Every single time I get together with my sorority, I learn something new about one of the girls in my chapter or I make another memory with them. The more I thought about this incredible award, I kept thinking about how thankful I am to be a member of an organization that holds service, friendship, leadership, and scholarship i

Today's post is for all you Greek gals out there. I know so many of my readers are in a sorority or academic fraternity, so today I'm sharing my favorite websites to buy letters from or any apparel associated with Greek organizations. For the longest time, I never knew where I could hunt down the cutest sorority wear, but after two semesters of searching, I feel like I have a good grasp on shopping Greek orgs. Today, I'm mapping out the items that I always seem to grab for in
