With requirements of at least a 3.0 GPA and dedication to service, Phi Sigma Pi attracted many bright, spirited and devoted members. Since Phi Sigma Pi was one ot the largest honor fraternities on campus, they were able to sponsor and assist with many service projects. Members of Phi Sigma Pi worked to excel in the areas of scholarship, leadership and fellowship. This group encompasses so many different aspects of school, said senior Sarah Grady. Their dedication to community service was shown throughout the year. They held a 5k run in the fall that raised more than $2000 for Multiple Sclerosis. With over 200 participants, the event was very successful. The brothers also continued their sleep out on the Commons event, that helped to raise money for and awareness of Multiple Sclerosis. They also sponsored blood drives, tutored at a local elementary school and participated in the Adopt-A-Highway program as well as Relay for 1 ,ife. Even though they were very busy, they found time to work on a new project during the year, a scholarship foundation in remembrance of Meghan Stidham, a former Phi Sigma Pi member. While service was their primary focus, they did take time off to have fun. They held formals and socials at Melrose. During the winter months they went snow tubing at Massanutten, while during the warmer months some members went sky diving and camping. A trip to Mardi Gras was also enjoyed. I love being in Phi Sigma Pi, said Grady. Everyone is so diverse. I was able to learn so much about leadership and the Harrisonburg community all because everyone had something different to offer. ■ by garret hitler Front Row: Bruno Dieseldorff, Megan Inouye, Jennifer Lansing, Jennifer Adu, Denise Wampler, Jessica James.

Sigma Kappa Uniting its members through sincere friendships, Sigma Kappa promoted strong character by being active in both community and social projects. The Delta Rho chapter or Sigma Kappa was rounded in 1959 and strove to follow the national tradition of one heart, one way. ith 147 members, Sigma Kappa remained very active in community service. They mainly supported three organizations: Gerontology, Alzheimer ' s Association and the Maine Sea Coast Mission. Their aid to Gerontology consisted of volunteering at the Bridgewater Nursing Home as well as participating in the Adopt-A-Grandparent program. In addition to helping their philanthropies. Sigma Kappa also assisted in other community events. I love Sigma Chi ' s Derby Days, said senior Rvan Chrisman. We all reallv got into it, we participated in the dances, penny wars, the games and all the money went to the Boys and Girls Club. Sigma Kappa also focused on scholarship. Each sister was encouraged to excel academicallv. At the end of the semester sisters held the traditional Chicken, Steak and Bean scholarship program to recognize sisters who earned high grade point averages for the semester. Being a social sorority, these girls had fun and built long-lasting friendships. We are a reallv diverse group of people, said Chrisman. Everyone contributes to different areas. These people are my best friends and have made some of mv greatest memories. I ' m going to be proud to look back and say I was a Sigma Kappa. ■ bytoniduncan FrontRow:CSkur da.A Parsons.CWilson.J.Peny.K.Stitt.V.Caveney,V-Kreshou«.J.N3talie.J.Fiore.M.Phipps.CScooel.K.Binns, C Price.
