Our chapter has been competing hard in
intramurals this past semester, capped by a first
place finish in basketball. All three of our teams
made it to the playoffs for the first time in years. We
have now also begun what will hopefully become yet
another successful volleyball season.

The ladies of Kappa Kappa Gamma hope everyone is
having a great semester! This semester has started off
great with our chapter receiving the New Member
Academic Excellence Award and the bronze level of
the Praestantia Chapter Excellence Award! On March
31st we initiated 12 wonderful women into our
chapter, and couldn't be more excited about it!
Congratulations to all of the chapters for a great
recruitment this year. Our annual Sapphire Ball will
be held April 13th and our upcoming Home Cooked
Meal event is on April 25th from 6-8pm at the Kappa
house. This event will help raise money and provide
new or gently used children's books for our national
philanthropy, Reading Is Fundamental (RIF). We
hope to see everyone there! Songfest is also coming
up for us, and promises to be an exciting night.
Kappa Kappa Gamma will be very busy throughout
the rest of the semester and into the summer
planning for next semester's chapter and
philanthropy events. We are so excited to see what
the next school year will bring!
The Panhellenic Council has been working hard this
semester to start their terms off right. In February
President Ali Rearick, VP Recruitment Brittany
Wolonsky, and VP Risk Management Ashley Riccardi
attended the Mid-American Greek Council Association conference in Chicago where they learned much
and got many ideas for the upcoming year. This past
spring we have had two all-sorority sisterhoods
including game room fun in the student union and
an 80's-themed workout session at the Student Rec.
Center. Both were a huge success and brought the
women from all of the PHC chapters together. Rho
Gamma's have also been chosen and recruitment
training sessions are underway as we look forward to
the best Fall Recruitment ever! The women of the
Panhellenic Council wish everyone good luck on
their exams and a safe, exciting summer.

The ladies of Alpha Gamma Delta have had a
very busy spring semester. During the month of
February the new members were busy preparing for
initiation learning the history of our fraternity and
getting to know their future sisters. Everyone was
pleased to welcome them. They are awonderful
bunch of girls who participate in everything that we
do! We were so happy to initiate our 14 new
members on Saturday, April 14. They will be a great
addition to our chapter and we look forward to
having them.
We had fun participating in basketball
intramurals from February through March.
During March, we had a social with Phi Sigma Kappa
on the 2nd where we played board games and ate ice
cream. The women of Alpha Gamma Delta were
excited to attend the Greek Leadership Awards. We
received the following awards: Silver Overall,
Desiderada (Philanthropic Excellence), Recruitment
Excellence, Member Development, and New Member
Intake. We are all extremely proud of
our accomplishments
On Saturday, April 14th, we held our Spring
Formal. It was held in the Student Union Ballroom.
We had a wonderful time enjoying ourselves. Jenn
Cundiff, our Social Coordinator, did an amazing job
organizing this event. Now everyone is preparing for
Songfest 2007.
We’re all working hard to make this the best Songfest
ever! Good luck to everyone!
The Alpha Phi's have had an exciting and busy
semester thus far. Our spring recruitment was
extremely successful, culminating in the initiation of
14 amazing new women on March 11, 2007. To
accommodate recent additions to our new member
class, we have another initiation scheduled later this
semester! Stronger and more excited than ever,
Alpha Phi blazed through this semester, winning
Anchor Splash and having an amazing showing at
the Barry 9-Ball tournament. A major semester
highlight was our First Annual Red Dress Gala.
Alpha Phi's invited their parents and friends to spend
a magical evening in red, learning about the Alpha
Phi Foundation, having an amazing dinner and
dancing the night away. This extremely successful
event raised over $2,000 for women's cardiac health
and research. As the semester winds down, Alpha
Phi's are looking forward to their "Bordeax Buex Ball"
which will be taking place in downtown Cleveland at
the Velvet Dog club.
Alpha Phi would like to congratulate all Greek
Leadership Award winners, including Alpha Delta Pi
on their Most Panhellenic Award! We are excited and
proud to have been named the "Most Improved"
Chapter by the other Panhellenic Chapters!! Thank
you to all the women's groups who voted for us, it is
an amazing honor. Happy summer! See you in the
fall!
The women of Delta Gamma have had an exciting
and eventful semester! We started off the spring
semester with a very successful recruitment. We had
many fun COB’s that brought us to house total! The
month of March was very busy! The month kicked
off by welcoming our new girls into their families at
Big/Little. We then spent the remainder of the
month preparing for our annual Anchor Splash that
was held on March 30th. We would like to thank all
of the teams for their participation in our
philanthropy event. We started April off with a
spaghetti dinner fundraiser and we are now
preparing for initiation and Songfest. We would like
to wish everyone good luck on their final exams and
have an amazing summer!

The men of Phi Delta Theta would first and foremost
like to congratulate the rest of the Greek community
for making this spring a fantastic semester.
As a chapter this semester, we have made
great strides across the board. From new member
education, internal organizational restructuring,
participating more on campus and supporting other
chapter’s philanthropies, spring 2007 was certainly a
semester for us to remember.
We would like to wish everyone a safe and
prosperous summer, and eagerly look forward to
coming back in the fall to participate in everyone’s
events, as well as a host a couple of our own.
Best wishes to all!

Phi Gamma Delta
It has been a busy semester for the men of Phi
Gamma Delta. We have been busy focusing on
service, intramurals, scholarship, campus
involvement, and soon to be recruitment. We have
had plenty of exciting events so far this semester and
are looking forward to having many more.
One of the major highlights of this semester
was being able to go and watch Morgan Spurlock,
who was a Phi Gamma Delta at NYU, give a lecture
at E.J. Thomas hall about his experiences in
filmmaking. After his lecture we all got to meet Mr.
Spurlock and he even took time to take a picture with
