Ashley Lock

Sophomore Ashley Lock is on the cusp of an event that could completely change her college experience: sorority recruitment. Going from living with a few roommates to more than 100 women is a big transition, but she said she’s ready to make the commitment. As a biology major and pre-dental student, Ashley didn’t go through rush last year because she was worried being in a sorority would get in the way of her schoolwork. She’s one of 1,700 women who rushed this year, narrowing down their own list of houses as they trekked up and down Jordan Avenue and Third Street, sometimes in high heels, for four days over winter break. She hopes that being in a sorority will provide her with a support system of women who are just as motivated as she is. She received a bid to Kappa Delta Jan. 7.
