Kappa Kruise

You learn a lot from being the social chair of your sorority….
  1. Buses will always be late and always get lost.
  2. Plan, plan, and plan and then on the actual day you just wing it.
  3. Not everyone will always be happy, but you can usually get about 99% of them to be so that counts as 100%.
  4. Being in charge of an event and still partaking in it is an art to be mastered.
My friend Tessa and I have learned these lessons and plenty more over the past year from being social chairs.  And I do have to say, we make a pretty good team!  Last night we had our second to last function that we will be in charge of….Kappa Kruise!
The Social Chairs

For the event we rented a boat on Lake Travis for dinner and dancing.  We decided to make it a black cocktail event, but then have all the seniors surprise everyone by wearing blue!  Everything started off smoothly….
1. My date Reece was on time.
2. Everyone arrived to the parking lot for the buses and to take pictures.
BUT of course the buses were a bit late AND then they got incredibly lost.  Imagine a bus doing a 10 point turn on a 1½ lane wide road….terrifying!  We eventually made it to the boat; anyways it wouldn’t be a Kappa event if we didn’t get a little lost and arrive on Kappa time.
For some the bus ride was sunny...
For others sleepy...
And for others they just wanted to scream.
The boat of course made up for all of that.  After trekking through a gravel path and down a steep flight of stair, we were greeted by the booming voice of The Captain.
The Flagship of Texas
The rest of the night was filled with fajitas, fun, and plenty of dancing.  Unfortunately for the big Ranger fans on board watching the game on an iPad, the night didn’t go quite as planned, but the rest of us had a great time!!
Wilson drinks Dr. Pepper 10 while Kristen chooses regular...
Dr. Pepper may need to re-think their marketing.
Little and Grand Little!
And of course none of this would be possible without our wonderful advisor Tommye Lou!
