semi-formal and apo-giving

I don't know about any one else... but this fun filled weekend of APO events rocked! The semi-formal was gorgeous, the food was amazing, and the people... oh the people made everything better. Shout out to Alyssa and her crew for doing a fantastic job with Semi-formal.. and a shout out to Anam, Erum, Mrs. Whyne, and Adina for bringing the deliciousness that then sent us into a food coma.

APO-giving was amazing. I am sorry for those of you who missed the smorgishborg (msp) of food and wonderful company. The bean game was interesting, but hey, you gotta roll with the punches. Whoever made the crossword in the newsletter did a fantastic job. Who would have known that Heather occasionally dreams in spanish and Sarah wolfe got a ridiculous amount of stitches trying to jump onto a wooden carousel. Go figure.

I left the blume room fully satisfied. I am very proud to be a part of this organization and I can see how close we have grown over the years. Some of the people I pledged with are gone, but the camaraderie is still there in the group. Every family is mixing a

nd mingling, animosity in the group is lower than it has been in a long time, and people are enjoying getting to know and developing deep relations with their fellow brothers. I almost feel like a small child again... were nothing else matters as long as you have your friend. Thanks guys for being awesome... and keep the love alive.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving :)

Hey APOers...

SO I got really passionate about APO tonight. I love the change over season when all the ideas are fresh and the energy is high. Everyone who ran for a position truly put there heart into it and I commend each and every one of you all. Usually, around this time in APO, I already know who I am going to vote for before even stepping into the meeting. I know, I am biased, but I am sure that a slew of you all did exactly the same thing. This year was different. I had some notion

of who I was going to choose before going into meeting, but I was more open to what was being said. I honestly think that the choice for President was a tough one. Three able-bodied, fully qualified women were running for the leadership position. Three people put themselves on the line for this organization: they believed enough in APO to want to fight with the best of the best for the commander-in-chief slot in APO. This is not a negation to any of the other positions and candidates, but the Presidency is the face of APO. Much like the President is the face of the United States. Congratulations to our new leaders for this Spring! You all did a great job and I am super excited to see what fresh blood can do for our executive committee.

Alright ladies and gents. I love APO and I am more than excited about our Thanksgiving extravaganza on Sunday and the crazy, awesome semi-formal that we are going to have on Saturday. Oh, and I hope everyone can make it to steppin out: it is a lot of work, but its also a lot of fun. Have a blessed night everyone!
