This month was filled with excitement and fun as we begin our second semester of the school year. We start off the semester with Spring Retreat. This is a time when the women of the house gather together and have some quality bonding before the madness of college life comes!
Kelsi, the president of Smurthwaite, was quick to point out that this will be the best retreat ever! With many games and shenanigans the retreat was a success.

Another event this month to make note of was the New Member retreat. It is tradition in the house for the old and new member to “sneak” out of the house for a day of fun in another city! The Old Members laughed as they watched the New Members leave for their weekend of fun.

The New Members spend time together playing games and sharing stories.
January was ‘sneaky’ it felt like it ended before it even began! It was a great month for Smurthwaite, as the girls prepare themselves for a busy and fun semester!
