Sweetheart of the Month - February 2012

We are proud to feature our February 2012 Sweetheart of the Month... MELISSA MAYS!

Sweetie Class: Fall '10

Major: Early Childhood Education

Hometown: McKinney, TX

One thing my friends would be surprised to know about me is... I was French club president in high school!
My guilty pleasure is... dessert! I love sweets, but I feel guilty every time I eat them.
My advice for the new sweeties... GET ORGANIZED! My planner saved my life my first semester in Sweethearts.
My favorite thing about Sweethearts is... the friends that I have made :) I have made all of my best friends through this organization, and I loveeee them!!

Congratulations Melissa, thank you for all that you do for Sweethearts! We are so blessed to have you as an active member in our organization!

Spring Into 2012!

Texas Sweethearts has kicked off the first two months of the semester with a packed schedule of spirit, social, and service events. Thanks to Spring '12 Spirit Chair, Shelby Dills, we have been able to cheer on our Longhorns at baseball tailgates with the Iron Spikes, basketball games, and watch parties for away games, and we are also preparing to compete in IM softball! Social Chairs, Sarah Rose and Kristin Boring, have been hard at work organizing social events for Sweethearts including Date Skate, Find Your Valentine, Sweetie/Active picnic, and a bartab with the Texas Wranglers. In addition, under the supervision of Service Chairs, Tina Smith and Shohreh Abedinzadeh, we have found time to give back to the community through volunteering at the LiveStrong marathon, Project 2012, Mobile Loaves & Fishes, Explore UT, and of course, our philanthropy, BeHive. As we take off for spring break, we are looking forward to what's in store for the rest of the semester!
