Winter Formal

This semester's winter formal had a mesquerade ball theme and was held at Enzo downtown. Spirits came dressed to impress in formal attire and many even rocked a mask - everyone looked gorgeous!





A lot of girls went to dinner with their pledge classes and dates before formal began. The whole night was the perfect way to celebrate the end of a long semester of hard work and everyone had a blast!

Initiation Brucn

Initiation Brunch took place on December 5, 2010 at the Iron Cactus downtown. This semester all of the 26 Weenies that were tapped in got initiated as new Texas Spirit actives! After enjoying the fabulous buffet at the Iron Cactus the Weenies and JIs swapped gifts and paddles and the Weenies performed their skits. Finally, the Fall 2010 Weenies were scarved and sworn in as the newest Texas Spirit actives.

A number of awards were also given out at Initiation Brunch to a handful of particularly outstanding Texas Spirits in several different categories. Below are the winners in a few of the categories:
Best Ghoulfriend Pair: Taylor Forman & Julie Reyes
Best All-Around Weenie: Dana Holmes
Best All-Around Spirit: Sharilyn Stone
Best Spirit: Hannah Waitt

Because it was the Fall semester, this Initiation Brunch also featured the passing on of officer titles as the 2011 Ghost Council was officially scarved in. Each current officer said a few words to the organization and the new officer as they passed on their title and received their GC alumnus drop.

Congratulations Fall 2010 Weenies and Ghost Council 2011 on all of your hard work and dedication to Texas Spirits!

Fall 2010 Tap-Out

This semester we had 25+ girls tap out of Spirits. Although we all cherish our time being a Texas Spirit, every good thing must eventually come to an end. This year's tap out featured a video of tap outs giving advice and sharing favorite memories, personalized songs were played as each girl received their black alumnus scarf, tap outs each received a homemade Spirits scrapbook, and of course tap outs "willed" things to their families remaining actives.



Thanks to all of our wonderful tap outs for all of the hard work and dedication they put into this organization for the 5+ semesters they participated - you will all be missed!




Thank you Emily Slattery and Callie Coulter for helping make this year's tap out such a special event!
