The week in pictures: prospies, recent alum/Broadway actress Catherine Brookman, freshman Rosalind Mowitt, baton twirler Kali Maginity, Eddie Lakin from Edzo's, Baconfest, and our sorority philanthropy event ratings
We started off the week with a campus full of doe-eyed, innocent high schoolers roaming our lakefront campus. Yes, it’s propsie season complete with flocks of freshmen-to-be shepherded around campus. And that can only mean one thing: stories of over-eager prospie faux pas.
We even jumped on the new student bandwagon and introduced you to a freshman who hooks up to Jesse McCartney, but doesn’t “do” nature, and another first year who’s our football team’s solo baton twirler. But not wanting to show favoritism, we flipped to the other end of the student spectrum and shared one senior’s tale of sexual barters while on study abroad, and a recent grad’s experience on Broadway.
But springtime is so much more than new students and the dreaded graduation. It’s a season littered with sorority philanthropy events. And as any sorority girl can tell you, spring also means swimsuit season is just around the corner. So understandably we’re trying to watch our figure, but how could we resist free food at Edzo’s or Baconfest? A Bacon Bloody Mary still fits into our liquid diet, right?
