Cookies and Committees

It seems that midterm season has officially begun, bringing with it the requisite caffeine induced all nighters in the basement of Van Pelt.  I hope everyone is surviving; it will all be over soon... hopefully.  

Junk food is one thing that always makes my study nights a little bit easier to handle.  I think most people agree, which is why last week the SDT scholarship committee (a group of sophomores who signed up to help the rest of us survive midterms and finals) decided to have an Insomnia cookies study break.  Word was spread through the SDT listerv, and sophomores gathered quickly in our chapter room anxiously awaiting double chocolate chunk and white macadamia nut heaven.  Unfortunately, the doorbell wasn't ringing with our huge cookie delivery.  I called over to Insomnia and they informed me that the oven was backed up.  Of course, once I told them that we had 40 hungry girls begging for cookies, they promised the order would arrive asap.  And they didn't disappoint- the cookies arrived warm and delicious, and I don't think I've ever seen anything devoured so quickly.

Now that I've spent an entire paragraph raving about Insomnia Cookies, I realized you are probably still really confused about what a scholarship committee is.  Basically our sorority is run by an executive board, which includes our president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, social chair, vice president of new member education, vice president of recruitment, and panhellenic delegate.  In addition to this board, our vice president oversees a variety of sub-committees made up of the sophomore class to help everyone get more involved in the sorority.  A couple examples of these committees are: the late night committee, which helps plan our annual fundraiser for Prevent Child Abuse America, our sisterhood committee, which among other things brings cupcakes to every chapter meeting for members' birthdays, and family relations committee, which plans a brunch at our house to welcome parents over family weekend.  Perhaps our health and social awareness committee can plan a nice workout session to help me burn off all these cookies and cupcakes the other committees have been providing?  Is it coincidence ∑∆T actually spells EAT?
