CHI Ashes to Ashes 2010

by Misty Watkins

My sophomore year, I was asked to be a helper at the CHI burning and received a CHI commendation. For me, that is probably the single greatest thing that happened to me at LU. A few days later, I saw my friend Luke (CHI 2010) in Ruffner, and he gave me a bottle of CHI ashes. I hugged him and started to cry. He told me that it wasn’t worth crying over, and I replied, “That’s easy for you to say! You’re in CHI!” But that moment when he gave me the ashes and I read the label telling me why they were given to me- that was when I realized just how much being a part of the Longwood community really meant to me.

(And may I say- Go Red Class!!)
