Lilly Pulitzer & My Sorority Life!


I don’t think any of you will be surprised when I tell you that I was once a sorority girl.  Back in the spring of 2006, I pledged the New York Alpha Chapter of Pi Beta Phi (Pi Phi for short) at Syracuse University.  Lilly Pulitzer fashion is huge on the sorority scene so it’s no wonder that they’ve come out with a series of sorority prints.  Sadly, they have yet to introduce a Pi Phi print.  However, I did vote for Pi Phi to be part of the next sorority print class on the Lilly Pulitzer Facebook page and I encourage all other Pi Phis to do the same.

I miss sorority life for obvious reasons such as formals and date nights, but I also miss the little things about being a member of a chapter such as late night movie marathons, Friday morning brunch, and tanning outside the house.  College life was a much simpler time.  Sure there was drama (tons of drama at times,) but in the end, that’s not what I remember.  I still get super excited whenever I meet another Pi Phi and I will be even more excited when Lilly Pulitzer introduces a Pi Phi print full of arrows (our official symbol) and angles (our unofficial symbol.)

Pretty Little Liars & Greek Premiere Tonight on ABC Family

Jersey Shore may be cool and all, but I am going crazy with excitement for the back to back premieres of two of my favorite shows, Pretty Little Liars (8pm/9c) and Greek (9pm/10c) tonight on ABC Family. I have always been a fan of teen dramas. Perhaps, they are my way of compensating for my awkward high school years.   Therefore, there is nothing I would rather be doing on a Monday night than drowning in the river of lies shared by Spencer Hastings (Troian Avery Bellisario,) Hanna Marin (Ashley Benson,) Aria Montgomery (Lucy Hale,) and Emily Fields (Shay Mitchell.)  Plus, Ezra (Ian Harding) is hot!

Growing out of my awkward teenage phase, in college I was the quintessential sorority girl who wore the golden arrow of Pi Beta Phi. My friends have even jokingly referred to me as Casey Cartwright (Spencer Grammer.) So Greek brings back tons of great collegiate memories. Like myself, Paul James who plays Calvin Owens also went to Syracuse University. He was frat boy in real life too. I even saw his picture in a composite at Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Speaking of frat boys, Cappie (Scott Michael Foster) is totally overrated.  I think I will follow in the footstep of Rebecca Logan (Dilshad Vadsaria) and find a boy like Evan Chambers (Jake McDorman.)
