CHI OMEGA K gill i i, HUH -BUI Treasured Sisterhood After reflecting on the importance of sisterhood, members of Chi Omega agreed that their sorority played a vital role in their experiences at the University. Chi Omega is an education in itself, for sisterhood involves a constant and steady learning process, during which you not only learn the rituals of Chi Omega, but you also learn truths about yourself, said Maggie Homolka, LSA sophomore and Chi Omega Personnel Chair. Other members of Chi Omega agreed that both unity and individuality were values that were crucial to sorority life. Chi Omega is individuality and togetherness all in one, said Heather Schuetz, LSA sophomore and Chi Omega Secretary. For other women, membership in a sorority provided them with opportunities for leadership and personal growth. As an officer of Chi Omega, I have gained leadership skills that have strengthened me as an individual. The friendships I have made have provided me with love and support, said Pamela Zuccker, Art School sophomore and Chi Omega President. Most members of Chi Omega conceded that friendship and sisterhood were the most treasured aspects of their sorority. The quality and diversity of the women here at Chi Omega is one of the most amazing aspects of this house. The friendships I ' ve made and the experiences I ' ve had will last a lifetime, said Inge Rosenkrandz, LSA sophomore and Chi Omega Treasurer. Chi Omega is love that remains steadfast, grows ever stronger and truer, and binds together our unique sisterhood for eternity, added Maggie Homolka. -Sarah Fette j Relaxing in Cancun as well as snorkeling and getting a tan, Chi Omega sisters with Alisa Weinstein pose on one of the beaches.

ALPHA DELTA PI mil IIIIM t Sister fWitfi Delving Jieart Throughout the school year, members of the Alpha Delta Pi sorority participated in various activities and fund-raisers to assist the families at the Ann Arbor Ronald McDonald House. Hosting families with children who need hospital care, the Ronald McDonald House depended on community fund-raising and the efforts of volunteers to support its operations. Members of Alpha Delta Pi began their year-long support of the Ronald McDonald House during Halloween, by visiting the young children staying at the Ann Arbor chapter. Dressed in traditional Halloween garb, Alpha Delta Pi members carved pumpkins with the children. Most of the kids at the house had a brother or sister at Mott ' s Children ' s Hospital. While the circumstances are hard, the kids seemed to enjoy the pumpkins and the costumes we wore, said Laura Potts, LSA Senior and Alpha Delta Pi Philanthropy Chair. Alpha Delta Pi also assisted the families at the Ronald McDonald House by helping them with their chores on several weekends. On one occasion, Alpha Delta Pi sisters prepared a dinner for the families. The dinner was really nice, because people seemed to appreciate it a lot. It was nice to see the smiles on people ' s faces and know that we put them there, said Potts. In February, Alpha Delta Pi continued to support the Ronald McDonald House by hosting its annual Dating Game. As the sorority ' s most significant philanthropy event, the Dating Game took months to plan. Similar in format to the popular 1960 ' s television show, the Dating Game paired lovely bachlorettes from participating sororities with charming bachelors from various fraternities. Raising money through sponsorship funds and fraternity and sorority participation fees, the Dating Game allowed Alpha Delta Pi to make significant contributions to the Ronald McDonald House each year. Although the Dating Game required a lot of hard work and planning, Alpha Delta Pi members felt that it was an extremely worthwhile event. We broke up into committees and planned it for months. Soliciting donations for prizes was a big project. The Dating Game was a lot of fun, though, and feeling the appreciation of the families we helped was very rewarding, said Tracy Sinclair, LSA sophomore and Alpha Delta Pi member. By donating their time and raising money throughout the school year, the sisters of Alpha Delta Pi provided valuable support to the families of the Ann Arbor Ronald McDonald House. -Sarah Fette 206 Greeks Each year on Bid Day, Alpha Delta Pi ' s come together and welcome their new Alpha ' s with a celehration that marks the beginning of their new sisterhood.
