Congratulations to the Iota Chapter!

Hello!

From the Sigma Suite.

From Starlit.

Yesterday (4/9/13) was the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs Expectations for Excellence Awards Reception. I went with Thanh 'Cavatina' Ngo, Jessica 'Firefox' Yao, Yinuo 'Amalia' Zhang, Lindsey 'Valor' Harris, and our chapter advocate, Glenn Cerosaletti. The reception was nothing too different from the past years, but watching the awards recipients is something that is always different and for me, nerve wracking.

I wasn't sure if I was ready to be president of this chapter when I was nominated last year, and was still nervous after elected. I was worried I wouldn't be able to achieve as well as past presidents of the Iota Chapter have, and I worried about being unable to maintain the successful prestige we've developed on campus. As the academic year started though, I realized it wasn't the president that determines the overall success of the chapter. It's the Syzters that are in it that make it what it is, and while it is remarkable to me, it was EXCELLENT in the eyes of FSA. So excellent that we were awarded, for the second year in a row: the Award for Overall Excellence in Strategic Planning.

So congratulations to the Iota Chapter for excelling in all areas of the Expectations for Excellence. We've impressed FSA with all that we have achieved and accomplished. Let's continue to excel, with our contributions to the University, to other Greeks, and the community at large.

Excellent job to the Iota Chapter for all we have done!

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.
