v, c Hill, f , ) ' t Sorority . Cupids In an effort to promote the Valentine ' s day spirit of love while benefiting the American Heart Association, the sisters of Alpha Phi held their annual lollipop sale in the Fishbowl February 9-14. Co-sponsored by Alpha Tau Omega fraternity, the yearly lollipop sale represented Alpha Phi ' s most noteworthy philanthropic event. Our lollipop sale provides the perfect opportunity to spread Valentine ' s Day love and good will and to encourage philanthropy within the Michigan Greek System, said Jenna Levinson, LSA sophomore and Alpha Phi philanthropy chairperson. This year Alpha Phi offered free delivery of the lollipops to the fraternity and sorority houses on campus. By providing free delivery, we were able to entice buyers who wanted to send anonymous candy-grams to their sweethearts. Ironically, the option to send a message turned out to be popular way for fraternity guys to play practical jokes on their brothers, said Megan Lombardi, LSA junior and Alpha Phi member. For those who participated in the event, the lollipop sale proved to be an enjoyable and rewarding experience. I really enjoyed selling lollipops this year. I considered myself to be somewhat of a romantic, so peddling heart-shaped candy seemed to come naturally to me. Plus, since I had the additional goal of snagging a Valentine for myself, the hour of people-watching in the Fishbowl served as an added perk, said LSA sophomore Greta Grass. -Sara i Fette member Greta Grass, Sarah Mayberry, Marie Wiesinski, and Shelly Soenen cuddle for a little warmth before a party.

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.
