The Beta pledges came by to serenade me earlier in the week . . .
In addition to the Dance Dogs Mother-Daughter practice, it seems that I can now add the title of Marketing/Promotions Director/Publicist for a fabulous up and coming band to my resume along with dancer!
If you're not laughing now, you should be.
MacGregor Thompson [blue shirt, son of Tat & Howell in Waynesboro] and Webb Worthington [green shirt, son of Piper and Bobby in Dunwoody] are trusting me to promote their newly formed 'High Tide' around Athens.
These are 2 wonderful young men [Sigma Chi's] whom I adore. They had their first gig on Thursday night at Lansdowne Road Irish Pub to standing room only. It doesn't hurt them that I have 350 friends on Facebook . Their next event is at Between the Hedges on February 5. You should all really come - it is a blast! MacGregor plays the acoustic and electric guitars and Webb is on drums. They have a great play-list and are working on more.
MacGregor is playing for a ZTA philanthropy for me in February;
Webb will be competing at the SEC Men's Diving competition that night.
He's a senior so this will be a special meet for him. Here Webb is on the tallest platform practicing some 3 rotation, double twist, something, something- I feel very fortunate that I am invited to their practices! He seems to always enter the water long and straight!
Friday night, Katie, Karen Lock and Meagan Maron came for a visit.
They stayed with me at ZTA and we all went to the UGA Gym Dogs meet against Alabama. Courtney Kupets scored 2 perfect 10's; UGA won the meet.
After the meet we headed downtown for dinner and to take in the downtown scene.
Katie Cloud, Megan, Becky, Katie & Karen outside Last Resort.
And then came Saturday and the ZTA Formal. The new pledge class came over around 5pm with their dates and the old reliable 'Pic-Man'.
The girls were presented to the other members; their date met them at the bottom of the staircase with a red rose and then Pic-Man had a field day. The entire chapter and dates boarded buses to a plantation about 25 minutes away for dinner and a band party. They returned in mass around 12:45am - quiet as angels all coming into ZTA. They then loaded into cabs to head downtown - the party goes on.Whatever happened to Poss's Lakeview, a band that didn't cost $5,000, a cooler and a great time had by all? Oh, I digress.
The girls are great - here's a quick pic with some of my in-house gals. I am still planning 600 meals a week and ordering the food to prepare it; I have a landscape install going on right now; Winter Recruitment starts this week - a much abbreviated version; Charter and Shumate have both paid visits to ZTA this week [it's only Monday], I'm organizing a ZTA library with help from the parents; we've planned Parents Weekend and also the Cluck for the Cure events scheduled for February; and we're in the process on making a ZTA prayer room in extra space in the attic - it will be great!
I hope that you all are hanging in there this January. Spring Break in Athens is the second week in March . . . . . any ideas?
Love and kisses, Becky
