Sweethearts/Sweetie of the Week

Congratulations to Hannah Bass and Kristi Clem for being named our most recent Sweethearts of the Week! These girls go above and beyond the minimum requirements to help make our organization the best that it can be, and we are so appreciative of all that they have done for us. Also, our very first Sweetie of the Week for the fall semester is Mayela Barreda! We are so excited to have her as part of our new member class. She was an amazing help throughout our TX/OU weekend trip to Dallas, and she is an incredible asset to the Fall '12 class- thank you Mayela for stepping up and being an awesome companion to your Sweetie sisters!

SWEETIE OF THE WEEK

Sweetie Class: Fall '12
Major: Undeclared, but I would like to pursue a degree in architecture
What made you choose to join Texas Sweethearts over all the other spirit organizations on campus? As soon as I met my then future big and a few of the officers and actives at the first recruitment profit share, I knew there was no need to look into any other spirit organizations. Even though I knew that it would be extremely difficult to get into Sweethearts, I just knew that I had to apply, because everyone in Sweethearts was so welcoming and friendly. Best decision I've made this semester!
If you had to eat ONE thing for the rest of your life, what would you choose? Sushi!

Work Hard, Play Hard

Voted Best Social Organization by the University of Texas Leadership & Ethics Institute in 2011, we strive to continue promoting the social pillar of our organization to allow our members to have fun after long hours of homework and studying. Most notably, we kicked off the semester with a mixer with Tejas, welcomed our Fall '12 Sweeties in with Blazer Tag, enjoyed a bartab with the Texas Wranglers, and came up with our best "Bikers and Babes" costumes for our mixer with Spikes. A big shout out to our Fall '12 social co-chairs, McKenna Conti and Sarah Rose, for doing an amazing job this semester!

Texas Football - Hook 'em Horns!

Something that we love most about the fall is football season! Texas Sweethearts is the only female student organization on campus to host our very own tailgates. This season, we have co-hosted tailgates with other student organizations including the Texas Wranglers, Texas Iron Spikes, and Theta Chi. All our members sit together at the football games in the Tejas flashcard section with the entire spirit group community. Most recently, we had the opportunity to assist Tejas in setting up their flashcard section before the Texas vs. Baylor game at DKR, and we had a blast!

Every year, our organization travels to Dallas, Texas for the Texas vs. OU Red River Rivalry. Our members take a bus down to the Big D and spend an entire weekend in the city and at the State Fair. On Friday night, we were also able to meet up with the North Texas Sweethearts for a large Sweethearts dinner! We were so excited for our members to finally meet, and it was definitely a memorable night- thank you North Texas Sweethearts for coming all the way to Las Colinas to meet up with us! Even though Texas was unable to pull out a win against Oklahoma at the Cotton Bowl this year, we still had a fabulous time, and it's all thanks to our amazing social co-chairs, Sarah Rose and McKenna Conti! Thank you both for all of your hard work in planning an incredible weekend!

Dinner with North Texas Sweethearts! So much love

We are looking forward to our last tailgate against Iowa State on November 10th and for the last home game of the season against TCU in mid-November.

Until next time.... Hook 'em Horns!
