Deltas M.I.A.
Kasie Hipp
Roma, Italia
Major: International Studies
What made you decide to go: When I
left for college, I may not have
known my major, the clubs I would
join, or what friends I would make,
but I did know two things- that I
wanted to study abroad and that I
wanted to be an RA (…yes, I am
aware of how geeky I am lol)
Best Moment abroad:
Top three memories-
1) when Lily accidentally mocked
the airport official with her fake system. Before leaving to go abroad I
Italian accent,
2) 2) enjoying delicious foods in
both Rome and Lyon with the
amazing Jordan Gomez, and
3) 3)Lily and I’s nightly run past the
Coliseum while listening to the
newest Glee songs.
Would you recommend studying
abroad? WITHOUT A DOUBT.
Are you excited to come home? I am heard (and talked) about- but at
excited to have one last year to wrap least I found it. I now feel like one of
up my college experience before
moving back to Europe. Plus, I miss
my lil sis.
What did you learn from your adven-
ture abroad? To take life one step at
a time because there is only so much
you can control.
A message to Tri Delta : To be hon-
est, for the last three years I have
been extremely critical of the Greek
continuously sold the standard ex-
planation of why I love my chapter
and how the Greek community has
“changed my life for the better,”
blah blah blah. Everyone says it-but
how much is truth and how much is
simple repetition?
Sadly, it took me switching conti-
nents and throwing myself into a
completely different lifestyle to truly
appreciate the sisterhood I’ve always
those die-hard girls you want to
punch during recruitment; Tri Delta
really has changed my life and I will
always share some of my fondest
memories with girls who I can
(cornily enough) call my sisters.
