X'd

 Woke up this morning with the infamous "X's" on my hands. Yeah, that's right. I went "out" last night. Not to be a collegian again, but as A CHAPERONE. dun dun dunnnnn. 

If you look closely, you'll notice I have colored X's for over 21. Under had black. EVERYONE had to be X'd. No exceptions. A major #TBT. I loved my ten minute delay in my morning routine that I spent scrubbing these bad boys clean.

First, let me just say.. God. Bless. Advisors. 

I was never that girl in undergrad who was the one that everyone had to look after constantly...But being on the "other other side" of things (not an EC member, sober monitor, etc, but being THE "adult") & understanding the liablity...I just can't even begin to explain the TERRIFIED feelings that I had for this night. It doesn't matter if everyone is sober. Having to keep an eye on 200+ people freely roaming at an outdoor venue. I can't. 

Second, picture this.

College girls. College boys. A Hay Ride. A Fire. Alcohol. More Alcohol. 

Not an ideal consultant job for the evening. But, TO MY SURPRISE, this night was a BLAST! People were responsible and respectful and I got to enjoy a "Date Party" SEC style and experience how another group rounds up their chapter and their dates to make for a safe and successful night. 

To any advisors for ANY sorority. Thanks for ALL that you do!! We couldn't do what we do without you, and I know 9/10 no one stops and appreciates your time and dedication.

Peace, Love & Managing Risks
