back to my kentucky roots

Delta Beta house

Being in Lexington at the University of Kentucky was filled with so many wonderful things!  I arrived at UK the night after the Regional Training Day, so I was on a DG high!  The officers at Delta Beta are enthusiastic, organized and just plain fun!  The week I visited the women were practicing hard for an all campus event called GreekSing.  The chapter chose Monopoly as their theme and they rallied all 160 of them to choreograph a full dance...it was AWESOME!  I saw two of their practices, including a dress rehearsal, and according to my YouTube creeping...they rocked it! 

One of the most special parts about this visit was being reunited with our dear family friends, the Darsts!  Meghan, Kristen and Michael all attend(ed) UK and I got to see all three of them during my visit!  Most of my time I spent with Meghan, who truly was one of my best friends in elementary school.  We picked up right where we left off and I tried to spend a good amount of my free time with her since this really was such a wonderful coincidence that I could even see her!  We have already planned a family reunion this summer because of our great time we had together :)

Another highlight was being able to attend a UK Wildcats basketball game too!  It was SO lucky that I got a ticket considering the team is ranked #1 in the NCAA!  The game was such a cool experience..they have fireworks as the players enter...uh seriously!?  Even some DGs cheer for the team, which was so great to see them too. 

Ready for the game!!

There is just so much southern charm in Lexington and I truly enjoyed my visit.  The women were such great hostesses and I just loved the UK campus.  They are preparing for their 50th Anniversary weekend and I believe they should be so proud of their history and have much to celebrate :)
