Emily Westcott, better known as Big Mama Westcort, is a junior in Kappa Alpha Theta. She's studying English but hopes to attend law school as an intellectual property lawyer and eventually become a literary agent. (Unreal!) She grew up in Carmel, Ind., and this spring semester, she is studying abroad in London, England! 

Besides being one of the most genuine, hard working people I know, Emily is hilarious and incredibly fun. These are a few of her favorite things.     

1. What’s your favorite food?   

My favorite food is chocolate chip waffles. The breakfast food obsession is real. But I’m also notorious for late-night Doba runs.   

2. What is your life anthem?   

I will always love “Float On” by Modest Mouse. However, my party anthem is “Timber” by Kesha and Pitbull, which I will admit is an awful song. But it’s impossible not to dance to.   

3. If you were a character from a book or movie, who would you be and why?   

I would be Buddy from Elf  because Will Ferrell is my spirit animal, and I too love the holidays and large amounts of unhealthy foods.   

4. If you hadn’t been born into this decade when and where would you like to have lived?   

I would have thrived during the 60s. I would have absolutely loved experiencing Woodstock.   

5. Finish this sentence: If I had an unlimited supply of money I would … 

Share it! I would love to make someone’s lifelong dream come true. I would also travel the world.   

6. Why are you going abroad, and what made you pick London?   

Going abroad is a great opportunity to explore the world a little more before career responsibilities hit, so I jumped at the excuse to travel with friends in Europe. I chose London because of the literary history (nerd alert) and because there are no language barriers. I’ve never been to England, but I am already in love with it. I’m looking forward to perfecting my British accent … it needs some work.   

7. What’s the one place, anywhere in the world, you’re dying to go to and why?   

I am dying to go to Greece. Have you ever seen an unimpressive picture of Greek scenery? That’s what I thought. 

8. With finals coming up quickly, how do you get through studying?

Oh, I am a strong believer in all-nighters. Naps are key.     

9. What has been your favorite moment so far at IU?   

My favorite moment at IU was when Theta won Little 500 last year. I still get the chills thinking about it.   

11. You’re a new addition to the Crayola Crayon box, what color would you be and why?   

I would be a marbled Crayon with the colors of a sunset. I think a creative color name would be “Sunset.”
