Besides the iconic big-little reveals, I love any of the events involving coffee or bubble tea and just hanging out.

I really liked the crochet workshop! I was pretty new to crochet but I ended up making a whole scarf, it was a great way to connect with people and relieve stress.

I joined A.O.E. because I was looking for a place on campus to be whole-heartedly myself while being surrounded by a loving community of like-minded women - and that's exactly what A.O.E. is! A.O.E. provides such a welcoming environment for friendly, passionate, and creative women in STEM, and I love supporting my sisters just as they support me. :)
