Drinks in Paradise - Spring RUSH 2012

Iota Chapter kicked off official Spring 2012 Rush with our traditional Bubble Tea event. This semester, we called it Drinks in Paradise to go along with our paradise and beaches theme. We met a lot of new people and made some new friends while enjoying seven different flavors of bubble tea!

Our Surf & Turf event with the brothers of UR & RIT PDPsi was a huge success. A lot of students came out to Tiernan Lounge to learn how to roll their own sushi, eat all that sushi, and hang out with the brothers and sisters. There were so many people, we ran out of food at the end! A number of people even tried sushi for the first time, including our very own Aquilina! (By the way, she loved it!)

Morgan's first time eating sushi :)

So crowded!

We ran out of food so we ended up just eating rice and carrots ....

Our Tiki-Hut Mixer with the brothers of Sigma Beta Rho was a blast! We enjoyed some delicious hot chocolate with marshmallows and topped that off with some ice-cream! Sisters found their SigRho number twins and look lots of pictures with them too!

Number twins!

Our community service rush event, Beachside Bracelets, was a great way to show off our artistic skills and also support our philanthopy. We made some nice bracelets to donate to Alternatives for Battered Women (ABW). The bracelets had words of encouragement like hope, strength, love, etc. Hopefully they can brighten someone's day!

Great job to Victoria "Reaper" and Thanh "Cavatina" for giving an awesome presentation for our rushes at the GIM. After going through the powerpoint and the rush video, we played a fun ice-breaker that had everyone leaving in smiles. :)

The rushes and even sisters benefitted from our educational rush event as they learned how to fix up their resumes and write effective cover letters so that they could land a great internship or job that would help them Retire by the Beach someday. Morgan gave the awesome presentation using the tools and training she gained from being a Peer Counselor at the Career Center.

For our last rush event of the semester Tropical T-shirts, we had a pleasant visit from the Mu Charter sisters and their rushes. The girls tye-dyed awesome shirts to take home with them. Thanks Mu syzters for visiting! We love spending time with you!
