Convention Countdown: 13 Days - Wild on the Rocks at Zoo Atlanta Alumnae Sisterhood

Our very own Zoo Atlanta has some really spectacular events for adults called Wild on the Rocks. Each month is themed after a different animal/cocktail combo. My first experience with Wild on the Rocks was in May 2014 for Pandas and Pinots. Adorbs! This series is sponsored be Groupon, and included in your ticket is admission to the zoo after hours (no school groups!), one signature drink (or beer or wine, but be festive, eh?), and animal trainer talks galore. Most of the animals stay out in their open area all evening, so its PRIMETIME viewing.

This month, the theme was Sangria on the Savannah. One of my very own sorority sisters, Lauren Gates, is a part of the team that coordinates these events. To show some sisterly support, in addition to our own motives of drinking delicious drinks, we coordinated a night at the zoo.

Several sisters from my chapter, Alpha Epsilon, attended. Included in this group were members of the Alumnae Association, and non-members. We were hoping to use this event as a recruitment tool to gain members to the Georgia Alumnae Association, and it worked! We potentially have 3 new members since the zoo event. Many others were interested in attending, and have since then sought out more information about the group. I'm excited to see how we continue to grow and develop!
