Ladies, we’ve heard you’re excited for this week’s Campus Cutie!

Most embarrassing moment?: When I played Junior Hockey, we went to the local elementary schools and would spend days with the kids there and during the gym class one day we played floor hockey.

What’s one piece of advice you would give to freshmen girls? Don’t feel the need to jump into anything to quickly. It is more attractive, in my opinion, if you are willing to take things slow and get to know someone for who they are before jumping into anything. Be yourself, don’t be someone who you think the guy wants you to be. Embrace yourself, being confident in who you truly are is a huge turn on. Don’t be afraid to be weird!

What’s your best feature? Personality: The ability to talk with anyone and get along with almost anyone. Physical: Smile

How do you feel about being this week’s campus cutie? Surprised and flattered.

When this fun-loving sorority girl isn't hitting the books or helping plan a ZTA event, she's constantly on the go. As if being a commuter student isn't enough, Joanna is working part-time at a bank, is a member of the executive committee in her sorority, and is working to set up several clubs on campus. When Joanna's got a spare minute to herself, if there is any time to spare, she enjoys eating sushi, attempting to speak German with her friend, cuddling with her Golden Retriever, Dobby, and ordering venti non-fat chai lattes [one of her many downfalls.]
