Meet Our Amazing Directors

Featuring

Each week were are going to feature a different buddy pair/group from our Best Buddies chapter here at USU. This week we are excited to feature Sasha and her buddies Lakin, Karissa, and Aimee. Here is what Sasha's buddies wrote about their experience with her;

"Sasha GREAThouse

This year we have had the great privilege of meeting and fostering a friendship with the one and only Sasha Greathouse. With “Great” in the name we had high expectations of our Buddy and Sasha did not disappoint! Sasha is 22 and is on the hunt for her perfect man. She loves to play the field and loves to get her flirt on with as many boys as possible. Currently she has a crush on her CVTD bus driver, and we love to hear all about their weekly run-ins. When Sasha needs a breather from the complexity that is men, she likes to watch movies and play games on her iPad. Upon meeting her she told us “My iPad is my life! I’m obsessed.”  She can navigate that thing like Lewis and Clark and the western frontier!

Sasha is such a sweet spirit and a great friend. She values her relationships with her staff as well as her friends very much and takes great strides to show them that. She also cares for and has a special talent for helping stray animals. One of her favorite out of the house activities is to visit the Humane Society and play with the lonely animals. We are looking forward to the day we can take her there and see her in action. We love Sasha and are grateful for the chance we have to be her friend. She never fails to make us laugh and we’re looking forward to many a more activities with her!

Halloween Party

We had our annual Best Buddies Halloween party on the 19th of October.  The Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity here at Utah State University sponsored this event and we couldn't thank them enough. It was held at their fraternity house and it was a BLAST! We had so much fun dressing up, doing a cake walk, a photo booth, crafts, a pinata, dancing, and socializing. A big thanks to the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity, Lees Marketplace of Logan, Macey's Food and Drug of Providence, Smith's Food and Drug of Logan, and The Food Pantry of Logan for all your generous donations and help. Everything turned out awesome!
