Kohawk Craze

These past weeks have been unbelievably busy for all the kohawks here on campus.  This past weekend, especially.  Coe College had record numbers of prospective students here to interview for scholarships.  It's crazy thinking that just a year ago I was in their shoes, trying to figure out my future college, and now I'm working for admissions helping them with such a hectic weekend.  500 plus students passed through Coe... that's 100 more students than my freshman class... and these are just prospective students interviewing for academic and music scholarships!  It's great to see such a high interest in Coe's campus, and I'm sure many of them fell in love with Coe just as I did when I stepped foot here.

I would also like to announce that Coe College's Delta Eta Chapter of Delta Delta Delta has raised over $20,000 for St. Jude!  A lot of money was raised this past weekend at our annual Dessert Gala.  We went to bakeries and asked for donations, while also going around to businesses asking for basket donations.  These "baskets" had items that represented their business such as lotion, coffee, gift cards, wine, etc.  All of these baskets were placed in a silent auction.  All of our ticket sales, silent auction sales, and donations all went to St. Jude and this past even helped put us over our $20,000 mark; making us Coe's organization that has raised the most money for anything!  It's easy to say I am a proud member of Delta Delta Delta.  AOPi also had a great turn out with their annual crush sale of selling crush bottles during Valentine's day, and the TKE chapter is on their way to raising money for St. Jude as well by selling St. Patrick's Day shirts!  It was a good week to be a part of Greek life.

It's already starting... and now it can't be stopped.  Everyone finally has Spring Break fever.  Coe's Spring Break starts next Friday, and I have already been hearing talk about people going home, going to Florida, going to Mexico, on a cruise, etc.  We all just have to get through this next week full of tests, papers, and quizzes, before we can get on our way!

By the way, don't forget to check out Nina's, our newest blogger, page!  She just happens to be my RA, resident advisor, and definitely the best one there is.  She can give you insight on residence life, habitat for humanity, Armstrong/ Douglas BOD, and many of the other organizations she is involved on in campus.  Show her some love too!
