I arrived at my first school today! The Dallas/Ft. Worth airport might be my new favorite to land into. Or it might just be the convenience of getting off the plane and walking approximately 100 yards to get my checked bag that was already on the conveyor belt. Anyway, Stephenville is about an hour and a half outside of DFW. The membership director and VP of Committees took me to Outback to lunch which was really sweet. There's something about listening to country music in Texas that just seems super authentic. If you haven't figure out, my thoughts are probably going to be really random during recruitment.
MB & Ledman at training.
I met with the Greek Advisor at Tarleton State after I dropped off my bags and he was great. He is really supportive of Phi Mu and had great insight into the campus culture as well as new ideas that I hope to take to other schools. The workshop doesn't actually start tomorrow but I went ahead and met with the president and membership director to figure everything out and I think we're in for a great workshop!
8 suitcases, 4 carry-ons, 5 people. We got this.
Random Fact: Apparently the big high school in Stephenville plays football at Tarleton State's field and they fill the stadium every game. I probably should have started watching Friday Night Lights to really appreciate Texas high school football. At least I already wrote UofL's football schedule in my planner for the fall (with my red fine point Sharpie, obviously).
Central Time is throwing me off again, so I will leave you with a couple pictures from our photo shoot at HQ. I'm missing my other CCs already but I know they are going to do a great job helping Phi Mu chapters across the country during recruitment this fall!
One question...are you paying them or are they paying you? Sounds like you are having a lot of fun. Go you!
