Living Out the American Dream

Epsilon Theta, American University


I was excited to visit American University, after visiting them last October too. The women I stayed with were wonderful hostesses and I had so much fun with them!

We focused a lot on recruitment planning throughout my visit. It's crazy that it's already time for recruitment prep in chapters with deferred recruitment! It also gave me quite a few opportunities to be greeky, like attending a Panhellenic recruitment meeting and discussing no-frills recruitment with the fraternity and sorority life advisor.

Spiced apple cider at Le Pain Quotidien
As usual, I got in a few good meals during my visit! I made a trip to Le Pain Quotidien, or LPQ, one morning for breakfast. LPQ is a DC area upscale, French-inspired cafe. There is a bakery as well as a sit-down menu for anytime of day. I had a very nice french toast and spiced apple cider.

During my visit I also got coffee with Monisha, a friend from UConn, who now attends law school at American! It was so nice to see someone from school and to have a little time to enjoy catching up with her.

My last meal at American was one of my favorites! A few of the Phis brought me to a place called Wagshal's, which is right near campus and their apartments. They told me it was a salad place (which I ended up getting) but it had so much more than that. It was basically a deli and market wrapped into one. There were soups, salads, a hot bar, cold sides, pastries, breads, and fresh cut flowers. It was quite the place and I would love to go back and try more things because it all looked so good!
