Shelby Shacklett always knew she wanted to be in a social club. She came to Lipscomb with social clubs in mind and chose Delta Omega. Shacklett said she knew Delta Omega was the right choice when she felt the welcoming presence of the girls in the club. “I walked in the front doors, and they were the first club that welcomed me,” she said. “The girls all immediately came up to me and were super nice. They were very complimentary to me. It seemed like they really wanted to get to know me. ” As a senior, Shacklett is still certain she has made the right choice with Delta Omega. Though she has had a great experience with the club, she talked about some changes she would love to see within the social clubs on campus. “I think we should have more of the clubs hanging out with the other clubs,” she said. “Right now, we have some clubs that just hang out with the people in their clubs. This should not be happening. I think there should be events where all the clubs get to hang out with each other and get to know one another. “I think all of the clubs should be given chances to hang out with each other, and no rivalries should be happening.

The day has come. I’m about to enter my first show of New York City Fashion Week. Gulp. I walk in nervous. I don’t know what to expect. Will I be deemed an outsider or scowled upon? Will I be branded a “fashion victim” by the who’s who of the fashion world? I haven’t the faintest idea what will come of this endeavor. All I can do is take a deep breath and jump in. Ready. Set. Go. Don’t worry! This story has a happy ending! I not only survived my first fashion show, but I survived my first Fashion Week – and without a scratch on me! I attended eight runway shows and three presentations–a total of 11 events. That’s not bad for a New York Fashion Week newbie. My job was to observe the shows and take notes, photographs and video footage. After the shows, I would write an article on each one and send them to my editor in chief. For my first fashion week, I was given the opportunity to work with LOLO Magazine as a freelancer. I was ecstatic! The whole experience was a major blessing. I still can’t believe I was given this opportunity! Now, on to the good stuff. I know you are all wondering about the details. Well, have no fear, fashion lovers. Hop in and let me take you on a visual journey. The Reem Acra Spring 2013 show took me straight to a fantasy world. Dresses waltzed down the runway with such grace you could literally see jaws dropping. Reem Acra’s collection used silks, satins and chiffons to create a romantic breath of...
