I have just realized that I have yet to properly introduce myself to all the new internet friends I'm going to be making while I'm writing for The Odyssey.
So hi, I'm Madison Bridges! I'm a Senior working on year 4 of a 5-year plan. I am a founding sister of the Gamma Omicron chapter of Delta Phi Epsilon here at Georgia Southern. I'm a Justice Studies major, Psychology minor and I feel more at home in the Carroll Building than in my apartment. Now that y'all are up to date on my typical college background info, here are a few things about me that I probably wouldn't have time to bring up on the first day of Formal Recruitment...
- I have 3 beautiful, wonderful, crazy, amazing, perfect Littles that I wouldn't give up for anything in this whole wide world.
- I also have 3 Grandlittles, 2 Great-Grandlittles, and 2 Great-Great-Grandlittles. They all make my heart happy and smiley, and brighten my world.
- If you couldn't tell I am OBSESSED with my Fam, my Lilly Pulizter-Pirate Family is more than I could have ever dreamed of in a family branch.
- One of the main reasons I wanted to be in a sorority was to have a Big, because I have two younger sisters and I'm the oldest, but that wasn't meant to be. Oh the irony!
- Being a chapter founder is probably one of the most precious and dear experiences of my life thus far.
- I'm allergic to gluten.
- I'm addicted to Pinterest, crafting, and cooking.
- I live in the colors coral and mint.
- I am a closet nerd. Live long and prosper, y'all!
- I am a regular volunteer of the Statesboro Police Department.
- Finding ways to reduce crime rates is my passion.
- In case it wasn't obvious, I grew up on a farm.
- I showed pigs for 14 years, and I miss it every day. It's a real thing, I promise.
- There were 22 people in my high school graduating class.
- I had never lived within 45 minutes of a Walmart, mall, movie theater, or Chick-fil-A until I moved to Statesboro.
- I learned to drive on a F-250 without dependable power steering.
- I'll monogram anything and everything.
- I love, love, LOVE Lilly Pulitzer. She is my spirit animal.
- I met the love of my life at Gnat's, at the first Luck of the Deephers, on a dare from Megan Fannon for him to ask me if I liked cow tipping. (See last week's article for the answer.)
- My life is basically an episode of "Sh%t Southern Women Say."
- I believe in unicorns.
Well y'all, that pretty much sums me up. At least until I think of 27 other things I should have said within five minutes of this being published, but that is a different story entirely. So, until next time ladies and gents, have fun and make good choices.
