This past week was the highlight (I hope) of most Babson Greek’s year–GREEK WEEK! During this week, all of the fraternities and sororities compete to win the coveted Fraternity & Sorority Cups. This year the theme was World Series, and I may be a little bias (since I planned the entire week), but I…

With spring break around the corner that means one thing–midterms. I can easily say that midterms are the second most stressful time of the semester for Babson students (other than finals and freshman year rocket pitches for FME). The exams are usually cumulative, the nights leading up to them are long, and if you’re stuck in the…

Last night was a very exciting night on campus–it was the Women’s Overnight! Babson’s Women’s Overnight is an evening we invite women accepted for the class of 2017 to come to campus to learn more about life at Babson, as well as the Center for Women’s Entrepreneurial Leadership. After a yummy dinner with some great…

Whenever someone asks what my favorite Babson memory has been–I’d by lying if I said anything but the Quidditch games at Greek Week my freshman year. Greeks and Non-Greeks alike swarmed the upper fields that windy April saturday to watch over 100 fraternity guys and sorority girls battle to the death…running around playing quidditch. Being…

As most of you in the northeast are probably aware, there was a little snow in Wellesley this weekend. Although it snowed a LOT, I had a great weekend! Friday night, a bunch of my sorority sisters and I braved the blizzard and went sledding. Friday night the snow didn’t seem so bad…it was only…

Hey everyone! There have been a number of prospective students asking what a typical Babson student’s schedule looks like, and the answer most of you probably heard was, “well there isn’t really a typical Babson student but…” Well… That’s kind of my answer too. I wouldn’t consider myself a “typical” Babson student, but I’ll give…

This weekend I had the pleasure to fly down to Memphis, TN with another one of my sorority sisters to represent the Babson chapter of our sorority–Chi Omega. At the convention, or as we call it–Firesides, my sister Danielle and I attended a number of seminars and learned a great deal about the National Panhellenic…

It’s the second week back at Babson and as usual, we hit the ground running! It’s been great to get back in the swing of things on campus after such a long, but much needed winter break. This week is going to be especially busy–not only do I have a monthly all-greek presidents’ meeting for…

It seems like just yesterday when I moved into the chi omega tower, and all of a sudden it’s the week before finals! Ironically, this week is busier for me that next week with finals will be. I have 3 final presentations to deliver this week, which has led to some lengthy group meetings and practices.…

One of my favorite things about Babson outside of the classroom is all of the fun groups and organizations we have to get involved in. Moreover–all of the events on campus that the clubs and organizations put on throughout the year! When I came to Babson, I hit the ground running–busy from day one. I…
