National Convention Spring 2009

Posted by Crisis at 8:17 PM 0 comments

From February 28th-March 1st, Iota Charter went to National Convention at the University of Albany in celebration of the 15th anniversary of Sigma Psi Zeta :)

Convention started off with a presentation on domestic violence awareness, followed by some workshops. At lunch break we sold Sigma T-shirts, champagne glasses, and other goodies. That was followed by a Love line presentation (hehe). Then we went back to the hotel and got ready for the gala--so many sisters were there (see picture above) including one of our founding mothers, Sally Hsieh! She made a really awesome speech :) The food was pretty good (yay for beef!)

Then we went to the party!!!!! A lot of sisters attended the party so it was nice seeing everyone. We left the next morning--it was a memorable weekend and lots of bonding and fun :)

Hope to see you all again soon!

Sigma Psi Zeta - Iota Chapter

Sigma Psi Zeta is the first and only multicultural Asian Interest Sorority on the University of Rochester campus. We emphasize leadership, scholarship, advocacy, community service and cultural awareness.

Sigma Psi Zeta works to promote awareness of the Asian/Asian American cultures and heritages amongst the students and faculty of our campus. We believe the strength of our foundation derives not just from the unity of our sisterhood, but also from the individuality of our members.

The Iota Chapter of Sigma Psi Zeta was established by Wincheng Lin and Jeanette Moy on December 1, 2000 at the University of Rochester. These women, united by their desire to affect change on their campus and the surrounding communities, create a lasting sisterhood, and promote unity among women and those of the Asian/Asian American community, set forth to bring a charter of Sigma Psi Zeta to their campus in the Spring, 1999. As friends, and later as roommates, they occasionally discussed the creation of an asian-interest sorority. They wanted an organization that would be beyond the bonds of friendship and instead hold bonds of sisterhood. Jeanette's older sister was a Sister of the Alpha Chapter of Sigma Psi Zeta, and after careful consideration, the two desired to join the organization that Sister Zoe had joined years before. It was not until Fall 2000, however, that their vision was realized. Their friendship was unparalleled, and with each other's support, no challenge was insurmountable. With much perseverance, determination and work, these ladies, known now as Trax and Fenix, became the Iota Charters.
