TSS Readers, meet Maddie... an Alpha Chi Omega from San Diego State University! Maddie is the newest addition to our It Girl team for 2014. Want to learn more about her? Well, you're going to have to wait a little bit-- our new It Girl team will be unveiled soon! Until then, here's a sneak peek into the life of the newest member of our It Girl family! Welcome, Maddie!
There’s something magical
about fall- the leaves change, the air is crisp, and you can order
pumpkin-flavored anything. We don’t exactly get a traditional fall season in
San Diego; we’re still wearing flip-flops and going to the beach. But, our
sisterhood event at the Pumpkin Station in Del Mar let us pretend! We picked
out pumpkins, rode the rides, bought huge buckets of caramel corn, and pet
adorable animals. It was a great way to bond with our new members and celebrate
this beautiful season.
When we got back to our
chapter house, we held a decorating competition- it was so fun to see
everyone’s crafty side. We split the girls into teams and gave them supplies to
decorate with, including pipe cleaners, pom poms, paint, glitter, and different
types of candy. One team crafted a hilarious witch with hay, a paper hat, and a pickle nose. Another team did a cute aqua ombre pumpkin using paint and glitter. All of the pumpkins make a festive addition to the front of our chapter house.
We
love the mix of Halloween tradition and glamour on the pumpkin with the jeweled spider on it. Some pumpkin
patches sell kits with stick-on jewels, but you can also get large gems and
rhinestones from any craft store and hot glue them to your pumpkin! When
you decorate your pumpkins, you can get inspiration from Pinterest, your
favorite movies, and even the supplies you have lying around. We had a blast at
this sisterhood event! I encourage you to go with your chapter or your friends.
Even if you don’t pick a pumpkin, you’ll get loads of great photos together!
