"Ain't she neat, oh how sweet!"
Last night's pledging activities were such a joy to be a part of. Our newest pledge was given a warm welcome into the house with the cookie shine and kickline!

The Newest Angel
After three successful (and highly entertaining) COB events, we are welcoming our newest sister into the house tonight with the pledging ceremony! I am certainly in the mood for some good 'ol Pi Phi traditions!
The excitement is in the air, along with the delicious smell of a cookie shine. I can't wait to see the look on our little angel's face when she sees the kickline!
On a side note, don't hesitate to check out our Twitter page at http://www.twitter.com/iowabetapiphis. Also, a new Facebook page is coming soon!

COB Updates
Tomorrow is the last COB event of the semester and the girls at the house are looking forward to welcoming the newest Pi Phis. Our first event was a night of board games, combined with our cook's amazing M&M brownies!
We tried to keep it healthy on the second night when we invited some new friends over to make "Ants on a Log." Of course our sweet tooth got the better of us and we also added ice cream sundaes to the mix.
Tomorrow our new friends will join us for some interactive games including "All my sisters who." In this game, one girl stands in the middle while everyone else sits in chairs that form a giant circle. The person in the middle introduces herself and then comes up with something that will apply to many other girls. Example: "All my friends who have a blog!" Everyone in the circle who has a blog will stand up and run to an empty chair (including the girl in the middle). The one person left standing is now in the center and the process repeats itself.
It's actually quite a fun game. It gets the blood pumping with friendly competition, and it allows us to get to know people pretty quickly.
Keep checking back for updates on our newest Pi Phis!

Exchange with Lambda Chi Alpha
On Sunday Jan. 30 we had an exchange with the men of Lambda Chi Alpha.
For all you non-Greek readers out there, an exchange is simply when two Greek houses get together solely for the purpose of interacting and having fun.
The exchange was originally going to be a day of sledding and snowball fights behind the LXA house, but with the freezing temperatures and lack of snow fluffy snow (this was before the huge blizzard), we decided on hot chocolate and board games instead.
The men of LXA and the women of Pi Phi enjoyed the event so much that we are currently planning another one (there are rumors that it will be Valentine's Day themed!)
Keep checking back for more updates on Pi Phi social events :) See you soon!
