Sping Formaln 2012: Bring on the Masks!

Our Spring Formal was last weekend at Red Rocks Amphitheater and we had a blast all night long!  The theme was Masquerade Ball and girls went all out with fancy, feather-topped masks that glittered and sparkled throughout the evening.  It was our Seniors last formal before they graduate (oh no)!

 

Red Rocks was amazing, even in the dark, as you could literally see for miles. We all danced the night away with our DJ playing all the latest music (including some Call Me Maybe and T. Swift). All in all it was a great night filled with fun, friends, laughter, and of course, some food.

Thanks to our social chair Lauren Walsh for throwing such a wonderful bash!

What has Theta Beta been up to?

We've been super busy here at Theta Beta over the last few months. We've shared some great memories including winning Chapter of the Year at the 2011 CU Greek Awards, dancing all day at CU Dance Marathon 2012, welcoming our Spring New Members from Informal Recruitment with a spectacular hula show, 'Tri'-ing our luck at a Casino Night Mixer with our Greek Week partners, and having our Moms visit Boulder for Mom's Weekend!

We also held our yearly letter writing campaign earlier this month for St. Jude Children's Research hospital! March is St. Jude month and we've been celebrating all month long by showing our "Keep Calm and Fight On" spirit on Facebook, posting fun facts on our Twitter and raising awareness about this amazing cause.

Although our Spring semester has only a month remaining (oh no!) we have many fun events in store for the remaining weeks.  Greek Week is right around the corner and we'll soon be saying goodbye to all of our wonderful graduating seniors!

New Member Update!

After a very successful recruitment, The New Member Educator planned an amazing Bid Day; we went to Denver to play laser tag! It was a great night and there was so much enthusiasm even after the long week! The night of Bid Day, The Assistant New Member Educator selected "dolphins" for the new baby Deltas. Dolphins are a kind of pre big to get the new girls comfortable and more associated with the house. After Bid Day, the members do "dolphin drops" in which they decorate the new member's home door with a painted and glittery dolphin and sometimes candy. Its a fun welcome to the house!

After getting to know the new members, the Assistant New Member Educator carefully paired the new members with a Big! Three days before revelation, the Bigs give the Littles gifts and clues. Each day the Little is given a more significant gift, and on the third day, they give a couple of clues to get the girls really excited to find out who their Big is! This Sunday we will be having our Big/Little revelation. The revelation will consist of the Big buying two costumes (one for them, one for their little). The Bigs will then spread out throughout the streets surrounding the house (on the "University Hill", Beach Park, and around Broadway). The LIttle will then put on the costume and find their Big! Afterwards they can go out to dinner or dessert! We are SO excited for our new members!

Delta Love,

The New Member Education Team

Greek Week 2010

Greek Week 2010

By: Lisa Weatherbie

Greek Week is always greatly anticipated each Spring! This year we were paired with the sisters of Alpha Delta Chi and the brothers of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. We really enjoyed getting to know our Greek Week partners, and started out Greek Week preparation by hosting a BBQ at the Theta Beta house. Haydn Jones, Activities Chairperson, organized the event which was a lot of fun! Miss Greek was one of the first events of Greek Week and Natalie Smithson did a great job of representing our house! Many girls participated in Power Puff football, and other chapter members went to support and cheer on the team. The week culminated with Songfest, a dance competition held at Coors Event Center. Much time and effort were spent making Greek Week not only fun, but a time to get to know others within the Greek community. We are proud to say we earned 3rd place overall in the Greek Week competition!

Zumba and RUSH Bowls

Beth Windheuser our Vice President of Membership who is in charge of Recruitment organized a Zumba and RUSH Bowl Event for girls in our chapter and their friends. Zumba is a type of dance aerobics class, and is a lot of fun! Two members of our chapter Audrey Brazeel and Mackenzie Jackson are Zumba certified, and they volunteered to teach the class for us. Thanks Ladies! After the class we went and got RUSH bowls on The Hill as an after work-out snack!

Super Bowl Sunday

Beth Windheuser, our Vice President of Membership, and RHO GAMMA, our House Manager, organized a Tri Delta Super Bowl Sunday. All the girls and their friends gathered around to watch the game and enjoy some delicious food. The girls did a great job organizing this game day event, complete with extra speakers for a full Super Bowl Effect!
