The semester is ending!

Eta Theta has had a busy couple of weeks recently!

Since our last update, we held our spring philanthropy at our house: Fiesta de CASA! This was the first year we did the event, and it was a huge success. A lot of the Greek community attended our Mexican-themed dinner, and we raised a lot of money for CASA and the Kappa Alpha Theta Foundation.




We also got third place at Theta Chi's philanthropy, GI Theta Chi!




Also, in other exciting news, we were awarded Panhellenic Chapter of the Year for the second year in a row! This is a huge honor, and we're very grateful and humbled. We only hope to continue to get stronger in campus involvement, philanthropy, and sisterhood in the coming years at UCF!

The same night we found out we received chapter of the year, one of our sisters, Takara Anderson, got engaged during a candle pass! Her boyfriend proposed with her entire family and friends present. We were very excited to be a part of one of the happiest days in her life. The link to the video of the proposal is here: Takara and Travis's engagement: theproposalstory.com

We also had our Southern Ball formal on April 9 at Highland Manor in Apopka. Everyone had a great time, and the food was excellent. It was a great way to end the year and spend time with our 28 graduating seniors.







On April 18, we had homecoming serenades. We're also happy to say that we've chosen to pair with the gentlemen of Delta Tau Delta for homecoming 2010! Over the last few days we've been getting to know some of the brothers, and we're very excited for the fall.

As the semester winds down we have a few last events before everyone separates for the summer. On April 21 we are having a sisterhood event at Arabian Nights, and on April 23 we'll be having a "chapter lock-in" and sleeping over at the house. This is when our graduating seniors will read their wills and we'll all get to bond one last time before the semester is over. The following morning, April 24, we'll be waking up and leaving for Kite Krash at Ginnie Springs! This is something we all have been looking forward to all semester. It should be a fun week!

We hope everyone has a good rest of the semester! Good luck on finals, and have a great summer!

Theta love ♥
