Hootie Hoos Go Global, Pt. 4

Chi Omega has gone to Uganda! Our very own Lauren Karp, Pledge Class 2010, is in West Africa this summer participating in the School if International Training study abroad program. Currently, Lauren resides in Gulu, Uganda, but will later also be visiting Rwanda. The students in her program are learning about peace and conflict in this area of the world, and in particular the Twenty Year War and the Rwandan genocide. Lauren has spent her time talking with local families, interviewing NGOs, and traveling into some rural communities as well. We are so proud of this wise hoot for her summertime academic endeavors, and can't wait to hear about all of her African adventures!

Hootie Hoos Go Global, Pt. 3

Parlez-vous francais? Tau Mu Hoots do!

Our beauteous G.M. Jamie Brimberg-Sherman can be found living the Parisian life this summer in far away France, as can her little Abby Katsev and Allison Fricke. These ladies have been taking in some European culture, and meeting up for Chi O reunions in the process.

Jamie and Allison are seniors and Abby is a junior. It's pretty clear they are truly taking advantage of their time away from their busy Wash U lives this summer, and all the hoots back in the homeland are very jealous!

Allison gives this ancient artist a thumbs up!

Bon voyage, ladies! Come back to St. Louis safe.

Hootie Hoos Go Global, Pt. 2

It may not be exotic, but it's certainly on the globe! Brittany Koch and Jane Luer got close to nature in Carbondale, Illinois last weekend. They were visiting Brittany's hometown to do some sisterly bonding while hiking, fishing, and spending time in the sun. There was a minor drama when Jane found herself jammed between a rock passage called "Fat Man Squeeze," but thankfully she managed the make it through.

Hootie Hoos Go Global, Pt. 1

This summer, Tau Mu is taking on the world! Starting with Pledge Class 2011's lovely Sarah Gallo. Sarah traveled to China to visit her Freshmen roommate, who is from Nanjing. She spent time in Beijing seeing the Forbidden City, Summer Palace, Great Wall (pictured below), and the pandas at the Beijing Zoo. She also spent time in Shanghai and Xi Tang. Sarah returned safely to the U.S. after two weeks, reporting that "It was a pretty crazy experience because I don't speak any Mandarin!"

Sarah gave a shout out to her Chi O sisters from the Great Wall.

Happy Birthday to President of the Year June L.D.!

In honor of the lovely June L.D.'s birthday, we'd like to belatedly recognize her and Emily McNish for their wins at the Greek Awards. She and the former Panhellenic President, our very own Emily McNish, both won big at the Greek Awards this year, and we couldn't have been prouder! June was awarded Sorority President of the Year, and Emily was awarded the Arete Woman of the Year.
