Komen Breast Cancer Foundation 2fW YtyU 0 $ A The mission of Zeta Tau Alpha is to make a difference in the lives of their membership by developing the potential of each individual through visionary programming which emphasizes leadership development, service to others, academic success and continued personal growth for women with a commitment to friendship and the future based on the values and traditions of our past. In 1992, Zeta Tau Alpha adopted Breast Cancer Research as the Fraternity ' s national philanthropy. This is done partially through sponsoring the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. At the Beta Gamma chap- ter, they host two fundraisers a year to raise money for our philanthropy. In the fall semester, they host a flag football tournament, Crown Classic. Boys around campus and the Tallahassee community gather together for a day of football and fun. Around 64 teams participate in this fun event. In the spring they host our annual Race to Live, which is a 5K race that gets the entire campus and community involved. Last year they raised over $20,000. The motto of Zeta Tau Alpha Seek the Noblest can be seen through leadership positions held by Zetas in many of Florida State University ' s cam- pus organizations. Their chapter plays an active role in the Florida State Uni- versity community through participation in campus wide community service efforts as well as events such as Homecoming and Dance Marathon that have become a part of Florida State ' s growing tradition.

The ladies of Sigma Delta Tau exemplify FSU spirit in a variety of ways. Although they are the newest sorority on campus, they have worked hard this past year to make a name for ourselves. They started off on the right foot this fall by placing third overall in Homecoming. SDT has also participated in numerous community service activities including Dance Marathon, Relay for Life, and other programs that are run solely through their house such as donating troop care packages, pro- viding hurricane relief, and adopting children through Big Brother and Big Sister. Sigma Delta Tau ' s philanthropy proceeds are given to Prevent Child Abuse America and in addition to their own philanthropy, they always par- take in other Greek Philanthropies. This past semester they placed first in Delta Delta Delta ' s Tug of War, second place in Alpha Epsilon Pi ' s Greek Idol, and third place in Tau Epsilon Phi ' s Caddy Shack. Not only did the Sig Delts attend every football game this fall, but they even let our parents in on the excitement. During Parents Weekend, all of their parents were invited to watch the football game with them, enjoy a BBQ afterwards, and attend a brunch at thier house the following day. Ad- ditionally, SDT has done a great job in IM sports this past year. They took third place in the 200 free-style in swimming, placed third overall in Eight Ball, and won all three of our regular season matches in bowling. They hope to become one of the top teams in Flag Football next year and to compete for a championship title in Volleyball. Sigma Delta Tau has had an amazing school year, and they look forward to even more success next year! mm --»■ w ' !

it ' s RECRUITMENT week Samantha Messinger On a sunny day in late August, 1 ,200 girls woke up to thoughts of wonder, excitement, and hope; not knowing what to expect of the week to come, but wishing for the best. These girls were pre- paring themselves for Florida State ' s Sorority Recruitment Week. Recruitment week, filled with emotion and exhaustion, is a full sev- en days designed so that each and, every girl gets a chance to meet some of the girls from every single sorority house. The first two days, known as ice water days are set up so all fifteen houses are visited between the two days. During these first two days, first impressions are made and countless introductions take place. After the completion of ice water days, the process called mutual selection takes place. During this process, both the sororities and the girls going through recruitment, also known as Potential New Members, make choices and selections depending on which girls are best fit for each house. The next two days, known as philanthropy days, the girls re-visit the houses and take part in each sorority ' s craft to benefit the charity the house represents. After learning about each charity and getting a better feel for the sorority, the girls take part in an- other round of mutual selection. The next round of days is known as skit day. During skit day, each house performs a play or skit portraying the sorority on a more personal level. Another round of mutual selection takes place and the final day of visiting houses begins. Preferential day, or pref day gives the potential new mem- bers a glimpse into sorority rituals or ceremonies. Pref day is a much more serious and formal day and serves as a last chance for the girls in the sorority and the girls going through recruitment to figure out which house best suits them. After the day has ended, one last round of mutual selection takes place before everyone goes home for a sleepless night filled with excitement and wonder as to which house they will call their own. The last day, known as bid day, begins with a closing cere- mony highlighting all the ups and downs of the past week. Following the ceremony, each girl receives a bid and a T-shirt corresponding with their new sorority house. After receiving and accepting their bid, the girls run down to their new home where the excited girls in the sorority are waiting with open arms to welcome them into their new family.
