After a long day filled with stress, textbooks, and classes, a girls' night out with your Spirit sisters definitely sounds ideal! On Thursday, January 26th, Spirits gathered at "The Local" to enjoy some 90's music, grab a bite, and catch up after the winter break. First-round applications for the Spring 2012 class had just been distributed a day prior, which meant the semester was well underway! All of the wonderful ladies in the recruitment process were invited to take a break from their applications and spend some time with our organization.
Service Haunts, Jocelyn Matyas & Mayte Salazar, were the hosts of the night. They set up multiple games so that prospectives and actives could mingle in a pressure-free environment and get to know each other. Games included "Find Your Pair," which allowed prospectives to meet multiple actives until finding her match, and "What Am I?" which encouraged girls to get creative with their questions and attempts to guess the person or character taped on their back. Aliyah McRoberts, a Fall 2011 Weenie and one of our newest JI's, found the environment to be much more casual and relaxing than the usual, hectic Meet & Greets. "I was able to talk to more girls for longer periods of time," proving beneficial for all actives getting to know the many prospectives! Alysse Fisher, Spring 2012 Weenie, found GNO to be a great opportunity for Spirits and prospectives to let loose, hang out, and have fun.
As Jocelyn and Mayte recount the success of the night, they proudly said, "Overall, we think the event went really well!" This was the first Spirits event organized by our newest Service Haunts and it went wonderfully! Girls Night Out is the newest addition to the recruitment process and it was thoroughly enjoyed by all. We hope that it becomes a regular event each semester!
To add the icing on the cake, a percentage of the night's sales went directly to Texas Spirits' Texas THON goal! (More blogs on THON to come!) Great work, Ladies!
