Good Eats: the scoop on East Lansing ice cream shops
– Brittany Mearim“I like how they mix in the toppings. The toppings are really big because they’re homemade. They have really good variety.” – Andrea Raby“It’s really good ice cream on campus. It has more of a draw than a chain because it’s made at MSU."– Jane Sirigiri "Tasty Twist is more about the memories I've had there over the years of living in EL than just about the ice cream. It's always been like the late night hangout with friends and where we went for lunch in high school. But it's also one of the cheaper options and still delicious and coconut flavored soft-serve will never disappoint."– Kelsie Harper"I like tutti frutti because their frozen yogurt flavors are unique, but still really good. I love that you can add whatever toppings you want and it's fun to create your own cup of froyo."Links:cold stone: https://www.coldstonecreamery.com/aboutus/index.ht...msu dairy store: http://dairystore.msu.edu/tutti fruitti: http://www.tfyogurt.com/tasty twist: https://www.facebook.com/pages/East-Lansing-Tasty-Twist/109708919048854

Sororities still seeking sisters
Fall recruitment is the busiest time of the year for the Panhellenic sororities at MSU, but this year three sororities will continue holding recruitment events.Continuous open bidding, or COBs in sorority speak, is the time when the sororities who may not have reached a certain member count can hold informal recruitment events to gain new members.Although COBs are not as popular as they once were, with there being over a thousand girls who go through fall recruitment and only 14 chapters, sororities do take the opportunity to invite interested girls into their house if they are looking to add more sisters.The COB events usually follow fall recruitment and are up to the chapter to organize and plan.Vice President of Recruitment Logistics on the Panhellenic Council Camaryn Self said only sororities below the required campus total are capable of holding events.“The only requirement is there is no alcohol involvement because that’s not part of regular recruitment,” Self said.Events could follow a certain theme and be anywhere from a movie night to an ice cream social.Sigma
