Louisa had the honor of 'prefing' Sarah Beth by talking to her on the final night of sorority recruitment, swaying her to join Louisa's sorority.

Sarah Beth and Louisa share countless memories together throughout their time in college and even lived together Louisa's senior year.
Claire Hammontree
Bridesmaid
Claire and Louisa met in college when they joined the same sorority. Claire was the bad influence of the friend group which always led to some fun nights and good stories to tell (or not tell). Louisa enjoyed visiting Claire a few different times when she lived in Tennessee shortly after graduating college and is grateful to now have Claire back in the Raleigh area now.
Logan Kemp
Bridesmaid
Louisa first met Logan when Logan joined Louisa's sorority. Logan never turns down a good themed party or costume and some of the best memories that Louisa has with her are all of the themed parties that they would throw when they lived together. One of the first times that Mack and Louisa met was at a last day of class darty with the theme 'Dad or Daddy', idea courtesy of Logan.
Camryn Lesser
Bridesmaid
Camryn is Louisa's 'big' in her sorority. Camryn is always someone who Louisa looked up to throughout college.

Victoria Newberry
Bridesmaid
Victoria originally met Mack at summer camp and they continued to stay close friends while sailing together on the NC State sailing team. Louisa is so appreciative of this friendship that Mack formed with Victoria as it brought Victoria into her life as well.
