Say a little prayer for me...

So it has finally happened; Beth Stathos is mortal as a Panhellenic adviser.

After 10 years at the helm she is leaving OU Panhellenic to serve as Chi Omega's General Counsel. Vacating a job I have wanted for about 6 of those 10 years....

I need to ask everyone to please do the happy thoughts and prayers thing. First real job application and it scaring the bejeesus out of me...and my mother says we should hang onto our bejesusses.

What Abby and I do at work...

Abby says:
Do you know what my mom found on her computer and printed out?

Erin says:
nope

Abby says:
A picture of your homecoming committee, all 45 of us.

Erin says:
wow

Erin says:
I don't even think I have one of those

Abby says:
It's currently on my fridge.

Erin says:
why was there one on her computer?

Erin says:
its on your fridge?

Abby says:
I probably sent it to her a long time ago.

Abby says:
Yup.

Erin says:
why is it on her fridge?

Erin says:
yeah, like 2004

Erin says:
holy crap that was in 2004

Abby says:
Anywho, I had forgotten what Hilary looked like. I seriously could not pick her out of a line up.

Erin says:
Hilary Hawkins?

Abby says:
Yes

Erin says:
our pledge sister?

Erin says:
you forgot what Hilary Kawkins looked like?

Abby says:
Yes

Erin says:
do you remember what I look like?

Erin says:
how about Lori?

Abby says:
Kiss my ass.

Erin says:
I'm just double checking!

Erin says:
I don't want to show up in June and you think I'm a Jehovah's witness!

Abby says:
You made me laugh out loud at my desk.

Erin says:
well good

Erin says:
its a daily goal

Abby says:
We don't really have JW's in my neighborhood. Small town, few choices, minds are usually made up.

Abby says:
That kind of thing.

Erin says:
right

Erin says:
pumping a dry well

A Pictoral Essay

Here they are, the RufDuks (like RufNeks, get it?) ina ction...Don't they look thrilled?


I won't speak of it...

Wisconsin: Rush for Housing?

So I pretty much never want to hear another word about the Greeks being weird during rush. On my best--or worst, depending on who you are and what your stand on Work Week is--I never had to chant or hear as much chanting as I did over 4 days in Oshkosh.

I'm sure at some point I was asked to shake my tail feathers though.

I met some great people, pantsed a girl from Oklahoma State (I am aiming for a Longhorn next time), and have an unfortunate eye for Rubber Duckies now.

Best part? I was on the clock the WHOLE time....

Update #2

So we got the bid to host the conference (sidenote: YAY!) and had to go to a conference on how to host a conference...

It was in a small theater that was sort of dark and there were stairs. I was coming down the stars and BIT IT HARD. On my way down I flailed for something to grab onto and it ended up being the back of some girl from Oklahoma State's jeans. Yes, I tried to depants an Aggie on my way down.

In case you didn't read between the lines: mortifying.

72 Hour Pep Rally Update

D-U-C-K-Y, who's that sexy ducky guy?
SWACKDADDY, quack quack, SWACKDADDY!

D-U-C-K-Y, don't you wish that you could fly?
SWACKDADDY, quack quack, SWACKDADDY!

There is no picture in a cheese head, but there is a rather incriminating one of me with a duck beak whistel in my mouth and waving a SWACURH rally rag and a RufDuck paddle. I like to think you can see the shame in my eyes.

Hip hop, SWACURH's hot

Shake it out, shake it out now...

NACURH...A 72 Hour Pep Rally

I am in a bizarre and creepy place.

WISCONSIN.

So I am attending the National Affiliation of College and University Residence Halls in Oshkosh WI. Let me tell you folks, it is an EXPERIENCE.

I have been to national conferences before, I have gone through the conference gauntelet so to speak. I was simply not prepared.

There is CHANTING going on 24-7 about your school, your region, your colors, etc. As I am a SWACURH Duck by virtue of attending the University of Oklahoma, there is also a lot of tail feather shaking. One would think that I would be good at this, nay even enjoy this!

I don't.

Don't give me no monkey no monkey
Don't give me no lion no lion
Don't give me no moose no moose!

Just give me that quack quack quack quack quack quack....quack....
