As a new sorority girl, on top of philanthropy, bonding with my new sisters, and consistently crafting, the thing I was most excited to be a part of was formal!

 

Stage One: Finding the dress.

 

This is SUPER stressful, especially if you’re petite like me (short girls unite).

 

Stage Two: Finding the date.

 

Who needs a man when you can take your best friend and have a twerk off.

 

Stage Three: Pinteresting cute group picture ideas

 

Cause obviously you wanna throw what you know with your sisters.

 

Stage Four: Ignore all responsibility and focus your life around formal.

 

Okay don’t actually do this, but the excitement just can’t be contained!

Sam is Campus Correspondent for the University of Tampa! She is a communications major with a concentration in media studies and a minor in new media production. For someone who is barely five feet tall, Sam has big aspirations. She hopes to become the next Rachel Hollis or Miranda Priestly. If all else fails however, she’ll have an exciting future as Mrs. Justin Bieber!

Sam talks non stop about her sorority, Pi Beta Phi and can easily be spotted on campus wearing her letters. She is an avid brunch goer and disney enthusiast. Buy her some cheesecake and you're guaranteed friends.
Hi, I'm Chanel. I'm a Sophomore at the University of Tampa with a major in Public Health. I laugh at horror movies, don't understand romantic movies, and cry during documentaries. I am vegetarian, but I will make an exception for pepperoni pizza rolls because the plain cheese are just plan disgusting. I dream of owning a cuddly pet chicken and a tiny home. Hm... I also enjoy torturing myself by spending an hour and half in a 105 degree room to practice Bikram Yoga. That is all.
