Off to Louisiana...

So today I left Auburn and arrived at Louisiana State University. We found out last night that our Auburn Theta's did a great job during recruitment! Quota was 53 (the maximum amount of women a sorority can take through recruitment) and our Theta chapter there got 68!! They had 15 extra women added due to quota additions. That means they did great and probably got the biggest amount of women during recruitment out of all the sororities. I am so proud of them and it is great to see success after all the hard work everyone put in.

Louisiana is beautiful. It is humid here but not too bad so far. The chapter house is beautiful and is right on a lake. All of the sororities are in a row surrounding a lake on the campus so it just adds to the beauty of all of the mansions.

As we arrived we were told that the Swine Flu is currently spreading around campus. Not only is it around campus but it is on the sorority row. One of the sororities currently has 20 members out of recruitment due to the possibility of them having Swine Flu. Jennica (another ELC I am on the visit with) and I are worried since it is recruitment and there will be around 860 women traveling between all the houses the coming week, starting tomorrow. We are going to be very conscious with our health and make sure we keep washing our hands etc. They have currently sanitized the house and will continue to do so through out recruitment.

We are tired from traveling but also ready to start our visit. We have dinner with the Vice-President of membership soon, which kicks off our week. I hope to keep you all updated this week!
