Sister Spotlight: Daisy Buckhouse

Daisy Buckhouse

CMT

Nashville, Tennessee

This summer I received an awesome internship opportunity to work at CMT (Country Music Television) in Nashville, TN. I accepted this internship with production management not really knowing what to expect. Within my first few days, I fell in love with what I was doing, even though I was thrown right into the chaos of planning the CMT Music Awards. I was extremely fortunate to work behind the scenes at the Music Awards and watch the show that I helped put together. 

The best part was not seeing many celebrities back stage, or watching them perform, it was learning from the production management team and getting to know how everything works. My job consists of many different things including running errands, helping with shoots, and keeping up with documents for certain shows and shoots.

      

One of the other interns I work with happens to be a fellow sister at the University of Florida, and we have become close after figuring out we are both Tri Deltas. This internship has already taught me so much I didn’t know before. I am so excited to see what the rest of the summer has in store for me and I can’t wait to share all of it with everyone!

DL,
Daisy

Sister Spotlight: Gaby Ehrens

NBC

Chicago, Illinois

This summer, I was fortunate enough to receive an internship with NBC in my hometown of Chicago. Before receiving the great news, it was a month long rollercoaster ride trying to figure out where and how I wanted to spend my summer. Deciding between working for the local news station in Columbia or heading home, the decision became easy the second I was offered my dream internship.

“NBC5 Chicago, News planning, this is Gabrielle” is how I usually start my mornings in the Windy City. My official title is News Planning Intern. To summarize my 40-hour weeks into four words would be: I plan the news. Planning the news takes a lot of work. On a regular day I answer phone tips where people call to inform the news of potential stories, leads on current stories, or events that they believe NBC should cover. I also receive a million and one emails a day informing me of the same things. From here, I decipher what is newsworthy and pass along the stories to the producers and reporters who make them happen.

From about the age of 10, when someone asked me what my dream job would be, I would always answer the same way: to be a producer at NBC Chicago. Being able to spend my days on the news floor at my dream station is truly a dream come true (cheesy, I know). It is an amazing experience and I'm hoping that it could one day lead me to attaining my dream job there.

Last week, I got the chance to go along on a special story that NBC was covering. It was about a 7-year-old boy who was receiving his wish from Make a Wish Foundation. He has always wanted to be a pilot, so American Airlines had him and his family come to the airport and gave them a chance to tour all of the planes, and then sent him off to Dallas for flight stimulations. NBC covered this story and aired it on the 4:30pm, 5:00pm, and 10:00pm showings that night. Filming and being a part of something so special that I could help share with the world was an incredible experience.

Next week, I am going to a premiere screening of the new movie Trainwreck, starring Amy Schumer, where I’ll take notes on key parts in the movie and return them back to the reporter who will then conduct interviews with the cast (word on the street is that I’ll be able to shadow the interviews, 

fingers crossed!) Overall, I am so excited to be pursing my dream in the news industry and only hope to grow from here.

         

Delta Love,

Buffet Bash 2015

This past Saturday, April 25th, our sisters enjoyed their last function of the semester. Though some of us have the fall of next year to look forward to, it was a bitter sweet day for our seniors as they attended their last function as members of Tri Delta. Our sisters had a blast dancing to a live band, dressing up for the beach and singing along to our favorite Jimmy Buffet hits. 

We are so grateful for our amazing social chair, Brooks Burdette, and all of the hard work she's put into making our functions as fun and memorable as possible. She's made this semester one for the books, and we cannot wait to see what she has in store for us when we come back in the Fall! 

We love you, Brooks!
