Meet a Sister

Earlier this year, Lisa Begue Carey, Rho—Florida State University, was named Woman of the Year by the Alumnae Panhellenic of Tallahassee. In addition to her vast support of several community organizations—Tallahassee Trust for Historic Preservation, Tallahassee Historical Society, and the Junior League of Tallahassee (just to name a few)—she serves as the Tri Sigma representative for Tallahassee’s Alumnae Panhellenic Chapter and consistently ranks in the top 5% of Coldwell Banker real estate agents in the world.

OCCUPATION: Residential Realtor, Coldwell Banker Hartung Real Estate

FAVORITE TRI SIGMA MEMORY: Getting ready for social events at the Sigma house at Florida State. The entire upstairs was electric with excitement—music blasting and sisters sharing clothes, makeup and accessories...dancing down the hallways. Sometimes getting ready together was better than the event we were headed to. Then coming back to the house afterward for a late night snack and to talk through the night's event.

CURRENTLY READING: All The Colors Of The Dark by Chris Whitaker

CURRENTLY LISTENING TO: White Teeth by Zadie Smith on Audible and Fleetwood Mac's Rumours album—on repeat

FAVORITE DESTINATION: Berlin, Germany

PRIZED POSSESSION: A candid snapshot picture of me with my two boys on Navarre Beach. The boys are young, maybe 6 and 3 years old, and we're all gathered together tightly to look at the "pirate treasure" my oldest son found with a metal detector. Their grandfather had secretly seeded the sand with foreign coins for the boys to find. I call that photo our "best day ever."

SECRET TALENT: I can identify almost any flag in the world.

IN MY SPARE TIME, YOU’LL FIND ME: Reading, walking with my dog, cooking enjoying friends, traveling, and engaging in genealogy research.
