Night One: Thrift Store, from Grace Anne Brown’s perspective

On Thursday night, since the theme was “thrift store”, everyone was dressed in their best and tackiest dresses. And let me tell you, there were a variety...there were super-sparkly ones, crazy printed ones, and even old and out of style bridesmaids dresses. I would definitely say that night one was WAY more casual than night two. It was held downtown at a place where we have had a lot of our other mixers and functions. I had so much fun on this night because I was dancing with my sisters the entire time. I made my way around to different groups to dance with them. It was also SO much fun to see everyone’s craziest and best thrift store attire. The DJ was good and played a lot of fun songs and had a good mix. I had such a good time with my sisters at this function because everyone was so excited and the theme was so fun, and I feel like it was definitely a favorite for everyone. Altogether semi was my favorite function I have had as a Tri Delta. This may be because I know more people so much better now, but the atmosphere was so happy and positive, which is exactly what I love being a part of. I hate that semi is over already, but it makes me even more excited for next year!

Night Two: Couture, from Holly Buxton’s perspective

With an older sister in Tri Delta, I have always heard fun stories about “semi”. After just joining Tri Delta this year, I have been looking forward to semi and to finally have my own fun stories to tell. My expectations were high, but the event exceeded all! From getting dressed up with all my new sisters, to meeting our dates in front of Manning, the night was so fun! The bus ride was full of laughs and nothing but energy! There was not one single person who wasn’t having a blast. The venue was perfect, and the band made everyone dance full out with little worry of how weird they may look (speaking about myself mainly). My favorite part of the whole night was just being with my friends dancing in a circle in front of the band. Being with my sister in such a fun atmosphere with the best girls I've ever met, I realized exactly why I joined Tri Delta. I will never forget freshman year semi and the memories I made with my new sisters!!
