Anyway, I'll talk about my interview and Phi Rho since you probably don't want to hear all about the processes of a manufacturing plant or how not-very-well by electrical engineering exam went.. So first of all, I have a second round interview with Eaton Corporation next week!! They are flying me out to Pittsburgh for a night to tour one of the plants, have dinner with some representatives, and give a presentation of "my contributions to a recent project." I'm really, really excited for two reasons: 1.) I haven't been on a plane since I was in ninth grade, and that was my first and only time ever, and 2.) I haven't given up hope on pursuing an internship for this summer yet! All I need to do is REALLY impress the HR department at Eaton, so hopefully they will hire me for the summer! :] My best friend is actually working for them as well (it will be her second internship with them), and it would be sweet if we could be at the same plant! Crossing my fingers for a good interview process next week :D
The second busy (yet FANTASTIC) thing I've had going on was preparation for the Phi Sigma Rho lock-in of the semester. Every sister must attend this so it was really difficult initially to find a time everyone could participate, but we did it! After the lock-in, we had a social and a sleep over for the girls who wanted to stay all night. Along with being Historian, I am on the social committee for the sorority, so we had several events to plan for the lock-in, particularly things we needed to get done as a group that is required by the National Sorority. This past Friday, we concentrated mostly on making the Alpha Class scrapbook, as well as our letters. For the week leading up to the event, the social committee, Social Chair, and I prepared the letters and talked about what kinds of things we wanted to document in the scrapbook.
My favorite part of the week was making the letters. It was the first time I had ever used power tools for a purpose, and guess what I did? I broke the blade to the jigsaw. So we had to wait another day to complete the cutting and sanding, but it was all finished by the lock-in! Funny though, that I'm an engineer major, and the first time I use power tools is my junior year for my sorority... :p Here's a few of the pictures of our process throughout the week:
The final letters still have the blue painters tape on them in these pictures, but I still think they look gorgeous :D Don't quote me on this, but I think we're the only sorority on campus who made their own letters. We're engineers, I mean, how could we not?
