We send selected members to a weekend French camp in the mountains, and they have a great time. The unique thing .about the French Club was that once every semester, a few of the French Club members spent a weekend at a camp, where they are only allowed to speak French. They had a fun time singing songs, having cook-outs, acting out skits, and much, much more. The purpose of the French Club was to provide the students with social activities and to expose them to various aspects of the French culture. The French Club had over 150 members and was comprised of French students and people interested in the French culture. The French Club accomplished its purpose by par- ticipating in monthly activities. Among some of the activities they participated in were a Welcome Back breakfast, a Christmas par- ty, a carolling party, a ski trip, snail races, movie night, and a beach party. The advisors were Melinda Jones and Ken Kirkeby. The Fall of- ficers were Mitch Rowland tPresidentl, Matt Orozco tVice- Presidentl, Ajay Malik lSecretaryfTreasurerl, and Jeremy Jenkin tHistorianl.

SISTERS FOREVER - are Anita Paryani, Sapna Kumar and Cara Abulencia, They were active members in this new sorority. sisterhood 0 t used to be that the only place to join a sorority was at college, but with the start of a new club, things changed. The new club was called Meta Adelphon which meant among sistersn and Jill Paredes was the advisor. According to founding member Sarah Akhunji, the pur- pose of the club was to promote social interaction and com- munity service. ln doing that, Meta Adelphon planned trips to retirement homes just to talk to the people because it's nice to know that someone caresf' said Anita Paryani, secretary and treasurer of the club. Meta Adelphon was an all girl club, and like all college sororities, all members had to go through rush week. Rush week included a day where all pledges had to come to school in their pajamas and a day where each pledge had to wear black and white. This was a test of the girl's sense of humor, said Akhunji. Another event Meta Adelphon planned was to get suc- cessful women to talk to the club about the role women have in society. This was geared toward the younger members of the club so that they could see the importance of going to college and get- ting a good education. We're just out to have a good time but still set a balance and help other people, too, concluded Akhunji. , , ...J .if r f i r-I- li 4 1 , 1, N 1 J if l i uv! 9 meta adelphonforgariizations 49
