You Went To
Sweet Briar If…
On Aug. 5, Marilen Sarian Crump ’00 formed a “You went to Sweet Briar if ... ”
group on Facebook and invited her friends, who invited their friends, who
invited their friends, etc., to complete the sentence. In a matter of a few days,
the responses were pages deep and ran the gamut from serious to playful. In
all, the feedback provides a firsthand view of the “sisterhood” that is created
at Sweet Briar, something that stretches through time and is grounded in
common experiences. It means that if you went to Sweet Briar, your experience
is both captivating and compelling. We trolled through the comments and
picked out some highlights. Here they are verbatim.

Went to class in your riding boots and
britches after that early morning riding lesson
or for that matter after the afternoon lesson!

scholarship to that-Other-school

Briar = Worth the Loans!

sixth sense to detect when
guys are on campus.
Karen Hott '91
Tears and a little choked every time you
seen the sign on 29, you are home! Cannot
wait to drive onto campus and introduce my
nieces to the most amazing place I’ve ever
known, all that I have accomplished is a
result of my Sweet Briar Experience!
