Like every year, move-in day came and went with a flurry of activity! The halls were filled with the usual excitement about living in the House (for most students, it's for the first time) and reuniting with friends not seen since the spring. This year, it was especially exciting to come home to a newly-renovated chapter house!
Admittedly, the day didn't go by without a little anxiety about whether everyone would fit! Thanks to a last-minute, Friday afternoon delivery from John Kirk Furniture Galleries, there are exactly enough beds and, thanks to a quick search of the attics, exactly enough dressers for everyone. Closets are another story... but in the true spirit of sisterhood, the DGs are sharing what they have to make it work for everyone. The Alpha Tau DGs will be a little smushed in for the first weeks of school, but in the end, there will be more than enough space for everyone!
Showing off the temporary closet. DGs make it work!
Happy mover. :)
Temporary living quarters in the old chapter room. This would be a good example of the "smushed in" part. DGs are so resourceful!
Making it fit! These dressers hold a surprising volume of clothes.
Neatly made beds in the cold dorm. How novel!
Sleep tight, DG!
Getting settled into the cold dorm.
Setting up Upper Deck.
Decorating.
Assembling a futon is definitely a multiple person job.
A table and chairs? WOW! Way to be creative with the space, gals!
Getting organized.
Taking a quick picture break.
Isn't living in the house fun?!
Unpacking. It'll fit!
Making it look easy.
A special thanks to Kelsey for being the official move-in day photographer while I sat at the registration table handing out keys.
Will you think I"m nuts if I say these pics make me miss the cold dorm?! Hope it's a great sememster!
