Music, Dancing, & Mixers!

In the midst of your stressed out, school packed, week what's better than escaping reality and dancing all your worries away for a night?! Dressing up to a theme, hanging out with your favorite people, and turning off the rest of the world for a night... Sounds amazing right?! Hello MIXERS!

Mixers: where a fraternity and sorority join together with a common theme at a venue typically involving music provided by a Dj with dancing and mingling throughout the night

          With being apart of a sorority the social aspect definitely comes along with the membership. 

"From the outside looking in, you can never understand it. From the inside looking out, you can never explain it." 

Due to being my sorority's Social Chair (who plans our mixers), I'm probably a little bias on the topic but mixers are one of my favorite things we do! We recently had not only our first mixer of the semester but first one ever to be in the Old City. The theme was GI Joes and Barbie Clothes with the gentlemen of SigEp. It was an absolute blast!

"Sisters make the bad times good and the good time unforgettable."

We began the night hanging out before the event allowing our sorority and fraternity to get to know each other a little better. The bus arrived at the old Panhellenic building with the destination NV NightClub in the Old City. Once we arrived the bouncers were great and the DJ was already set up and playing music. People were outside in the courtyard hanging out and inside covering the dance floor. The mixer ended around 1:00am when the bus took us back to the old Panhellenic building. This was one of the first events we have done with the SigEp Fraternity it years and it turned out beautifully! 

Since I am in charge of the event including, controlling the bus we had to take, renting the venue, finding a DJ, and dealing with catering I was a nervous wreck. I was a crazy person the whole week leading up to the event. 

It wasn't until the mixer itself was over when I was like, why was I stressing out so bad? It could not have gone anymore perfect! I was so proud! The most rewarding feeling was when I had sisters coming up to me at and after the mixer saying it was their favorite one yet. It was such breath of fresh air! The next morning I woke up with texts and tweets of people saying how much fun they had!

Seeing my sisters dressed up as workout Barbie, businesswoman Barbie, camo, and more and the guys in camo and army clothes dancing, laughing, and having a blast was great! 

"Individually unique. Together complete."

That was a night we will forever remember and have memories from for the rest of our life's. In my opinion, there's not much things more fun than a themed party and dancing all night long! College is suppose to be the best years of our life's, we're just taking advantaged of that one night at a time!

"The group of people you associate with says a lot about your character. In my opinion, we're on the right track."
