Hi everyone!

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while, mid-terms are horrible and I've been really busy.

Over the past few weeks I've gradually been doing more and more with the sorority such as going to Sister Sundays, going out for drinks and handing out flyers for the various volunteer activities we've been doing. I'm really glad I joined the sorority.

This weekend was Halloween and I had a ton of fun! There was a Halloween Cabaret in the Zoo, and it was ok. Nothing super exciting unfortunately but I still had a blast that night. My costume was a "Victorian Masquarade" theme that I thought I did pretty well. 

Here's Alicia and I dressed in our masks. We hung out and dance at the Cab for a bit then came home and had a floor party of our own before the majority of people went out to Studio 54.

Saturday night, Chelsea, Tiersa and I went to a showing of the movie Rocky Horror Picture Show and if you want to watch it, let me warn you it’s not for the feint hearted. During the movie there’s a whole bunch of actions, activities and things you’re supposed to yell out at certain parts. It was so cool! I can’t even describe it to you, I’m sorry. I didn’t get home until midnight though after stopping at McDonalds for a late night supper.

Sunday I had another Sister Sunday with Delta Eta Iota. We did pizza making and T-Shirt making. I’m happy about that because it means I’ll have my own Delta Eta Iota shirt with the logo on it to wear around so I can actually prove I’m in a sorority! The pizzas were fantastic! We used pita breads, covered them in pizza sauce and various other toppings of our choosing then baked them until the cheese was melted, yum they were tasty! I love hanging out with the sisters, they’re all just so cool. And it really helps to know others who are in the same major that you are, they give you little tidbits and tricks for succeeding in that field.

Monday night (Halloween) was the Sororities “Trick or Eat” event where we went around door to door collecting non-perishable food items to donate to the Salvation Army. Kaylee and I collected two full garbage bags of canned goods and macaroni from only 30 houses! I was so impressed with the people in Lethbridge, there were only a few houses who said they had nothing to spare, some houses even gave us several Safeway bags full of stuff! It really makes you feel like your making a difference when doing stuff like that. Plus, I got to see a bunch of cute little kids in costumes, some pretty inventive too, like a little girl who was a dice. There was also a little boy, maybe 4 years old, dressed as Mickey Mouse while his mother walked him around, she was dressed as Minnie Mouse and the dog she had with them was Pluto!

After the Trick or Eat, there was another Rez Wars event, Halloween Decorating Contest! Our floor was dressed to the nine’s! Plus everyone on the floor dressed up and participate, which was nice to see as a lot of people stay hidden in their rooms most of the time. We had Zombies and “Giant rats” banging on doors when people walked by. We even had original music playing, created by Steph on our floor. We came in 3^rd unfortunately, but we beat DE3 which is our biggest competition! 

All in all, this Halloween has been a ton of fun!

I’ll try and write again soon, but I really can’t make any promises as Mid-terms are here again, boo!
