Alpha Sigma Phi
Delta Gamma
Once again, the gentlemen of Alpha Sigma Phi are
having a fantastic semester! For the fall 2007 semester
alone, we had outstanding 57% percent of our Brothers
make the Dean's List. This past February 3rd also marked
the official first big year for the Epsilon Sigma chapter
here at The University of Akron.
After a relaxing winter break the women of
Delta Gamma are rejuvenated and ready for another
exciting semester at The University of Akron! Informal recruitment events have filled the last week of
January and early February, providing our chapter
with the opportunity to promote our organization and
grow as a chapter. Members Kelli Fetter and Heather
Spencer organized the events, and they have done a
wonderful job in publicizing and planning activities
for the Spring recruitment period. We have a wonderful new member class, and we are excited and
supportive as they embark on their journey as a New
Members. Social Chair Nikki Ames is ardently
working to prepare our first Spring Semi-Formal,
which will be a lovely evening of dessert and dancing
to be held at the Student Union. We are looking
forward to our major annual philanthropic event this
Spring, Anchor Splash. The event provides the
chapter with a wonderful opportunity to work with
the Greek Community to raise money for the Delta
Gamma Foundation and Service for Sight, which
benefits the blind. We have begun to organize teams,
and we are striving to increase the participation
among the Greek life community for the event as well
as to strengthen our fundraising capabilities.
Alpha Delta Pi
The women of Alpha Delta Pi would like to
thank everyone who participated in our brand new
Philanthropy event called PiHop which took place at
the end of December. For this event, we made and
delivered pancake and sausage breakfasts to the
various chapter houses around campus and all of the
money raised went to the Ronald McDonald House. It
was very successful and we greatly appreciate
everyone who supported us! At the end of Christmas
Break, we held our Officer Transition Workship at
Steinway Hall. Sisters were able to enjoy breakfast
and lunch together while listening to speakers and
learning about the responsibilities of their new office.
After a month off of school, we were all very excited
to be back in Akron for the start of a new semester.
During the second week of classes, we enjoyed a visit
from one of our Leadership Consultants and at the
beginning of February, we volunteered at the Akron
Rotary Club Chili Open Golf Tournament with the
men of Phi Gamma Delta. We have also been very
busy with our Spring Recruitment events and are so
excited that we just welcomed five new sisters in to
our chapter! We hope everyone has a great semester
and look forward to many exciting events to come!
Panhellenic Council
The Panhellenic Council would like to
congratulate and welcome all of the new members of
the Panhellenic community! International Badge
Day, an annual event during which sorority women
everywhere honor their Greek affiliations by wearing
their badge or letters, will be held on Monday, March
3. Also on March 3, the Panhellenic Council is
sponsoring a sisterhood event, making Easter baskets
for children at Akron Children’s Hospital. We look
forward to seeing you there!

for the men of Sigma Nu. We recruited a handful of
excellent men, and made improvements on our
grades. This semester we plan on improving even
more. We are actively recruiting and still putting a

whole chapter together at least once a week to do
something fun. We shoot pool, throw darts, and have
a general good time. Upcoming philanthropy events
include a 5K Run. The men of Sigma Nu encourage
all to do the best that they can and enjoy the semester.

made big plans for the months ahead. After an overall
