She Doesn't Know the Word Impossible.

One visit down and I am already loving my second one as well! Epsilon Pi did wonderful during their short recruitment workshop this past weekend. After the workshop was over we waited for the incoming freshmen to come back from their retreat--better known as Duck Camp. See, Tarleton State has two mascots. They are the Texans, but then there is a story about a man who came all the way to TSU fromTennessee and brought his pet duck. So obviously, two mascots were needed now.

Anyway, they did a great job passing out water and popsicles to freshmen and their parents while helping promote Greek life with all the other sororities and fraternities at this tailgate.

During the tailgate, while I was talking with two of their advisers this little thing came up behind me. This would be another TSU tradition.

These people are chosen and dress up in costumes similar to what you see for football and basketball games as well as other school events. No one is supposed to know who they are, not even their roommates! This happens to be a Phi Mu Alumna. Don't know her name but I guess I'll believe her.

Now, I know some consultants love to collect something from each school while they visit. Some like t-shirts or post cards. But here's the thing. I have no room in either of my suitcases. I already sent a box of things home from the local USPS in Stephenville and there is a good possibility that will happen here in CoMO before my two weeks is up. But I wanted something to remember each school by so this is what I decided to do:

The ULTRA on Tarleton State's campus

Take a picture with my WKU Red Towel at a campus landmark at each school!

This way I can remember each school in a way that's different and doesn't cost anything and it's a little WKU tradition you will find in the Alumni magazine.

 First up TSU! This would be the ULTRA. This statue's point faces North, that way students and visitors can always gage their direction if they get lost.

Right now, I'm at Mizzou during Work Week and I will stay for formal recruitment. I am loving fellow consultant Cindy's chapter! They are doing a great job and working really hard. I will try to share pictures soon because the campus and Phi Mu house are beautiful. WKU--if you still need ideas to renovate DUC, you need to check out Mizzou's student center.
