Tap-Out Spotlights!

Our latest Tap-Out Spotlight is Lauren Scroggs. She was a Spring 2009 Weenie and Public Relations Haunt in 2010. Lauren will be graduating in May 2012, and either plans on applying to law school or finding a job with the help of McCombs recruiting.
Her favorite Spirits tradition is the special ceremony of Tap-in. She has several favorite memories from her time in Spirits including, “playing catch phrase, telling scary stories, and (of course)Weenie Roast!”

Her advice to younger Spirits is to “Stay involved! Once you start drifting away from Spirits it’s hard to get back into the swing of things. Stay close with your pledge class and all the other Spirits you get to know and love!” 
We will miss you dearly, Lauren! Thank you for all that you have given to Texas Spirits, and best of luck to you in all your future endeavors! 


Our next Tap Out Spotlight is Amanda Chavira, a Spring 2009 Weenie and Special Projects Haunt in 2010. She plans to move wherever she finds a job when she graduates, but would love to stay in Austin (or Texas in general) if she has the chance.




Amanda’s favorite Spirits tradition is Initiation Brunch. For her “it's a great time to look back on the past semester and is especially funny to attend when you are on GC.”

One of her favorite Spirits memories was Spring ‘09s Weenie Roast. Amanda told us that “it was a really interesting night; tents, games, and bubbles were all involved.”


As for her advice for younger Spirits, Amanda says to “live it up, girls! These are some of the best times of your life. School is so important, but try not to miss out on all the fun Spirit events that you can never get back. Go to the mixers, go to all the events, don't wind up in your senior year wishing that you had done more. It will make your college experience that much sweeter.”

We will miss you, Amanda! Thank you for all the love that you have shown to Texas Spirits over the past years, and good luck to you in all of your future endeavors!


Amalia Anwar is our next Tap Out Spotlight. She was a Fall 2008 Weenie, which makes her one of the oldest members currently active in Spirits.
After graduation, Amalia plans to get a job in public relations, either at an agency or in-house. She would like to either stay in Austin or move to Dallas. 

Her favorite Spirits tradition is Ghoulfamilies. Here is what she had to say about this tradition. “I seriously have the best family ever, and Weenie Beanie is one of my favorite events every semester. We had 9 generations of our family at the Alumnae Reunion this year! I love that my family has gotten so close over the past few years, and I know I’ll stay in touch with them after I graduate.”

Amalia’s favorite memory from Spirits was her Weenie semester. She shared how it was one of her favorite semesters in college. “I loved how exciting everything was and how close I got with my pledge class. It's crazy to look at all of us then and now!”

As for her advice for younger Spirits, Amalia said to “Get involved in as many things as possible! Being on committees gives you the chance to get to know girls outside of your Weenie class and ghoulfamily. And of course, cherish your years in Spirits! It's cheesy, but you'll be graduating before you know it.”
It’s sad to see you leave, Amalia, but we know you have many wonderful days ahead of you. Good luck in your future endeavors, and thank you for all that you have given to Texas Spirits.
