​Pink Thing of the Week
Lake Hillier in Australia!
 
This naturally pink lake really shows off its Delta Nu spirit! How did this bright lake come to be? It wasn’t always like this, but thanks to intense sunlight and rising salinity levels, a green alga, Dunaliella salina that lives in the salt crusts on the bottom of the lake, produces a red pigment known as beta carotene (like the stuff in carrots!). And voila: A True Pink Lake in Delta Nu fashion!
 
A Short Delta Nu Poem
 
There once was a girl named Elle
Who was stuck under some boy’s spell
Til she followed him to Harvard,
Where her brain became sharper
and came out on top just as well.

7 Styles from the 00's That Are Totally Making a Comeback!

3/25/2016

0 Comments

 
(Aka: things that you need to dig out of your closet and makeup bag, like, asap.)

1.Tattoo choker necklaces
Picture
Picture
There is a special place in middle-school me’s heart for these babies. And how appropriate is it that AHS Coven alum Emma Roberts is serving up serious Sabrina the teenage witch vibes?

​2. Frosted lips
Picture
Picture
Now this is a trend that I’m surprised ever left. With idols like Kate Moss and Taraji B. Henson pulling this look off with such effortless ease, I suddenly feel the need to up the ante on my lip game.

​3. Lip liner
Picture
Picture
You’re lying if you say you never attempted to recreate Kylie’s perfectly overdrawn pout. But she wasn’t the first to use lip liner like this, as shown by the fabulous Pamela Anderson.

4. Halter tops
Picture
Picture
Time to get serious, the resurgence of these tops was the highlight of our collective spring break.

​5. Tracksuits
Picture
Picture
Ohmigod you guys, remember this? No more fashion crisis. (Plus, seeing Nicki and Paris side by side rocking red is a pairing I never knew I needed.)  Move aside leggings and Ugg boots! This oldie but goodie is bringing matching loungewear back into our vocabulary. Elle must be proud.

​6. Crop tops
Picture
Picture
I don’t know about all of you, but I sure as heck want to be in the same category as Gwen and Miley and join this crop-top wave.

​7. Name necklaces
Picture
Picture
If Carrie Bradshaw and Rihanna can do it, you better count on me digging into my jewelry box and pulling out my old name necklace.

I hope to see you girls rocking these old-new trends when you come on by the Delta Nu house!

Stop Being Scammed: How to Make Your Sorority Letters for Next to No Cost

3/23/2016

0 Comments

 
Do you ever feel like you spend too much money getting your sorority letters manufactured from some company? That money could be spent on hair, makeup, or even food! So why go through all of that trouble to buy them when you could just make them yourself? Just add tape to the areas you want to keep plain, your favorite shade of pink paint, and if you're feeling glamorous, some glitter, and before you know it, you'll have the best sorority letters out there, just like the girls of Delta Nu have! ​

Let’s Get Whipped into Shape: Elle’s Super Fantastic Case Prep Blog

3/21/2016

0 Comments

 
​​Snaps!! It’s almost the big day!!! We’re preparing for Callaghan’s big internship case.
Picture
​(And by “we,” I mean Warner, Vivienne, and me! ME! I invited myself along! This is so exciting!)
Picture
​Warner and Vivienne – who hereafter will be known by “Viv” – are hard at work, doing some preliminary research on Brooke Wyndham and her fitness empire. As you can see, Warner is taking particular interest in how to achieve Brooke’s “nutcracker butt.” (In the words of Emmett’s mother.)
Picture
​What would study-time be without caffeine? Viv and I decide to make a quick trip to the nearby coffee-shop, and along the way I continue my fight to bring Viv to the Light Side – whoever said plum is the new pink is seriously disturbed!
Picture
​Viv and I try to decide what to get. I go straight for the espresso – IT GIVES ME ENERGY!!! – but Viv is feeling a bit peckish. She goes for an oh-so-scrumptious goat cheese sandwich, and I start rethinking my moratorium on bread.
Sidenote: look how cute we are!!!!
Picture
​And now we wait.
Picture
​Success!! Viv & I reunite with Warner, and the case prep resumes. Seen here: Warner keeps working on that same paper (I didn’t follow him to Harvard for his intelligence), and Viv takes notes on the effects of endorphins resulting from exercise (spoiler: they’re all great!!).
Picture
​Warner finally let go of the paper (he’s such a bonehead!), and I get a chance to read up on Brooke. I’m so so so so SO excited to work with a fellow Delta Nu, you have no idea. Her perseverance and insanely amazing commitment to fitness constantly inspire me – and it doesn’t hurt that her DVDs got me in shape to be June in the “Girls of UCLA” calendar, either!!
 
I know my chapter of DN got so sick of me saying this, but sisterhood really is forever. No matter what, I am completely convinced of Brooke’s innocence!
Picture
​Now all I have to do is convince the rest of the team . . .
Picture
​But I can do it! I am nothing if not 1.) Positive; and 2.) Persistent. Yeah!
Picture
​At the end of the day, prepping for my first case was a wonderful experience, made even more fabulous because I got to spend it with Viv. We kicked butt at research, and are going to rock this case. I Double Delta Nu Sister Swear it!
Picture
​And who knows?
Maybe Viv and I will be growing our own friendship garden super soon.

;)

Cuticle Care for Delta Nus

3/12/2016

0 Comments

 
​Hi Sisters!! Odds are if you’re already sporting our classic pink shade and flawless letters, then your hair and clothes are probably perfection. Unfortunately, it has come to my attention that some of the ladies living in our hallowed Delta Nu halls are NOT taking care of their nails!
Girls, HOW can we expect our Greek brothers to respect and revere us if we’ve got nail beds that look like shag carpeting?? This is unacceptable, and I’ve taken it upon myself to educate all sisters on proper cuticle care.

​1. Cuticle oil
Picture
O.M.G you guys, I swear this stuff is like magic potion. Simply apply a few drops of oil to your nails and let it soak in. It’ll totally soften up your cuticles and nobody will be able to tell you were scraping your hands against the walls at the frat houses all night!!


2. Push 'em back
Picture
Once you’ve softened them all up, it’s time to push that pesky skin back. Don’t even think about cutting your cuticles, ladies! Are we barbarians? Are we clueless seventh grade girls? Are we members of a low-tier sorority?? No! As all classy women do, invest in a cuticle pusher and gently ease your cuticles off your nails.


3. Moisturize!
Picture
With all THAT hard work out of the way, reward yourself with a little TLC and moisturize your hands. Seriously, moisturize. No boy wants to date a girl with rough man-hands, and I’ll be damned if I’m going to let Delta Nu earn that reputation. I’m LOOKING at you, Debbie. I’m looking at you and your sandpaper gorilla hands. The last guy you hooked up with said you felt like a trucker when he closed his eyes. Get a grip, Debbie, you’re embarrassing your sisters.
 
4. Polish
Picture
YAY! Snaps for you, Delta Nu sis! You made it! For the final step, be sure to put on a fresh coat of beautiful pink polish. This will complete the look and make you appear to ALWAYS have your life together, even when you’re walking back to the house at 7am on a Sunday in 6-inch heels! SNAPS!!

A Delta Nu's Guide to ROCKING Spring Break

3/11/2016

0 Comments

 
Let’s be honest, Spring Break is pretty much the only reason we all drag ourselves back to school after Winter Break. The sun, sand, and parties make the second semester worth it. So here are some tips to help you get ready for and survive what will be the most anticipated week of the year!
 
1. Get whipped into shape
Picture
You wanna be able to rock that bikini body on the beach, so I recommend jump roping for the ultimate way to break a sweat. Remember, it is never too late to start. And when you do need that Milky Way as a pick me up, make sure it is fun-sized.
 
​2. Spend some time improving what’s inside your head
Picture
The last thing you want is to be left without a place to go, so make sure you have a plan. You and all of your girls need to be on the same page for the optimal good time to be had.
 
 3. You do you
Picture
Don’t go getting a T.T.P. (Total Tragic Perm) right before spring break to try to be someone you are not. Work with what you got because being yourself never goes out of style.

​4. Stay classy
Picture
Everyone should have fun on spring break, but don’t totally lose it. The last thing you want is your sisters bringing up that one night in Cabo once you get back home.

​5. Keep those boys close and your sisters closer

Warner’s Top 5 Spring Break Destinations

3/7/2016

1 Comment

 
by Warner Huntington III

When it comes to Spring Break, no expense should be spared. It’s a time for girls, beer, beaches, and did I mention girls? If you want to have a bitchin’ good time on your next spring break, then you better drop what you’re doing and read what I have to say because I am the Spring Break Master. Don’t worry, you’ll have time to thank me later.

5.   Cancun, Mexico
Picture
Widely regarded as the Spring Break destination of choice by many, it is a little low class for my tastes, but I had to sneak in as a high schooler to get a feel for what goes on there before setting out on my college reign of Spring Break supremacy. I did enjoy the parties, and the music selection there is on point! There are many clubs available for different tastes, so naturally I stuck to the best and the greatest ones, which all hit my expectations. This place is consistently packed with arm candy so if that is your definition of a spring break, have a blast!

4.   Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
Picture
If parties and nighttime ragers are what you desire, look no further than Cabo for your Spring Break destination! Stay at the ME by Melia Hotel in the Oceanfront King Suite if you want to experience the luxuries normally reserved for television stars. From there, I suggest renting out your own personal yacht and taking a bunch of your best buds deep sea diving or snorkeling, whatever you feel like, because, hey, you are the king of the beach. Once the party and the alcohol start flowing, the rest will be history - historically epic if you catch my drift. The only problem is remembering what went on the night before.

3.   South Padre Island, TX
Picture
Want to be featured on MTV or E!? If that is what you are gunning for in life (heck, I’ve been featured on both channels more times than I can count), then travel on down to the southern tip of Texas for this epic party location. This place is hot, hot, hot, and I’m not just talking about the temperatures! The Coca-Cola Beach is well known for its constant sand volleyball contests and nightly Hawaiian Bikini contests. You can only imagine what it is like, and I can ensure you that it is even better than your wildest dreams.

2. South Beach Miami, FL
Picture
Do you want to find yourself chilling with celebrities day and night? Treat yourself to the best trip money can buy by checking into a penthouse suite at the Setai Hotel (my personal favorite - it is only given out to exclusive customers) and then hitting the beach. The alcohol is prevalent and flowing, so make sure you hit up all the VIP clubs if you want to mingle with the best of them. The only thing hotter than the temperatures here are the girls, and there are miles of them. Take your pick, or two, or three, and you won’t be disappointed! Even coming back here outside of spring break, you are still guaranteed to spot a celeb to schmooze with, maybe you’ll make partner just from your good looks alone!

​
1.   Nassau, Bahamas
Picture
Ever dreamed of renting out an entire island for Spring Break? I wanted to really stake my claim as the Spring Fling King freshman year at UCLA, so I figured I’d drop a little pocket change and invite the entire UC panhellenic system to the Bahamas. All expenses paid by me of course. The result? One week of pure and utter amazement at Blue Lagoon Island. The white beaches were almost as amazing as the selection of alcohol that my parents bought for us, legally, of course! You should have seen how many shots one of the Delta Nu girls put away! If you want to be the go-to person for any and all party experiences, I suggest renting an island, it worked for me! By and far the greatest spring break I have ever had.

Top 5 Grievances of Working With Paulette Bonefonte

3/6/2016

0 Comments

 
Picture
As told by the salon cashier, pictured at left.

(And mind you, these are only the top five.)

1. Every time I steal money from the cash register, she threatens to get her new, fancy lawyer friend, Elle, involved.

2. She refuses to play any music that isn’t Irish in the salon, despite countless customer complaints.

3. Her Instagram account, @DogFoodIntheAir, is doing annoyingly well and she brags about it daily.
 
4. Every time the UPS guy comes in, we fall a half hour behind schedule waiting for her heart rate to go down.

5. If I receive one more Snapchat of her and Rufus face swapping, I’m going to rip out my extensions and use them to choke myself.
