Self-Description

I love: The Cubbies!! and to dance, eat, watch movies, and listen to music. I do not like: 7:30 classes, below zero temperatures, and watching golf. People would probably categorize me as optimistic!

 
Why AGD?
I chose AGD, because the girls were all so laid back. It was a house I felt a part of the minute I walked into the door. All the girls had my same sense of humor and basic outlook on everything. Basically: I could live with these girls for four years and would be happy!  
 
Favorites:
TV
Scrubs, The Office, Friday Night Lights, The OC, and Sex and the City
Ice Cream Flavor
Mint Chocolate Chip
Color
Pink, Yellow, Orange
 
Future Goals
I would love to travel or live somewhere else for a couple years, but ultimately I want to live and work in Chicago.
   
You've just been given $500 to spend however you like, what would you spend it on?
Most likely a huge shopping trip, food, or towards a plane ticket to somewhere with a beach!
 
Favorite Alpha Gam Moment
Any random time with Alpha Gams like when one picks me up from the bus stop or when we go to the Den for pops. It always seems to end up in everyone laughing hysterically.
   
How has Alpha Gamma Delta helped you develop as a person?
AGD has helped me develop as a person, because it reinforces my confidence. Whatever I do, my sisters are there for me. They are proud of me when I study really hard for a test and get an A. They always encourage me to utilize my talents. Whenever I feel self-conscious, I think of my fellow Alpha Gams who would yell at me for ever thinking I couldn't do something!
 
If you could go anywhere, where would you go and why?
Italy!! I am taking Italian and would love to see if I could carry on a conversation with a native. Also, I love Italian food, fashion, and culture and I think it looks gorgeous there!!
   
What do you enjoy doing?
I love to shop. I love to swim. I love to listen to music and watch movies. I love hanging out with friends. I love to dance!!
 
What makes you unique?
I am definitely goofy. If someone makes a corny joke or is seen dancing to no music or doing something silly, they would probably say that was a Colleen thing to do.
 
Who is the most influential person in your life?
Who is the most influential person in your life? Easy! My big sister, Mandy, is the most influential person in my life. She is one of my best friends and definitely the person I go to for guidance in anything! She is the reason why I am at Purdue, why I'm an Alpha Gam, and basically why I have survived my first year away at college!
