Take Back The Night

On April 9th. We cosponsored Take Back The Night with Women's Caucus as a part of their Sexual Assault Awareness Week. The event started at 6:00pm at Heavens Lounge. We first gather in a circle and shared sexual assault stories either found on TBTN web site or of our own. Hearing some girls sharing their own stories was shocking and sad to me. The discussion was followed by the candle light march through eastman quad, residential quad and back to Wilson Commons. Even though we couldn't light the candel successfully because of the wind, it was still a rewarding experience.

For that week, we also cosponsored Clothesline project, in which we encouraged students to draw their feeling about sexual assault on plain t-shirts and hung them up in Hirst Lounge. We can definitely work more with Women's Caucus in the future!

Relay for Life

Friday, April 3rd, 2009 was Relay for Life hosted by U of R. Most sisters stayed the entire 12 hours--6pm to 6am :) We had dedication bags for some sisters we were relaying for, including our alumna Wincheng Lin.

We passed the time by participating in contests like Chubby Bunny and the Frozen T-shirt contest haha.

We also played Never Have I Ever...and some Horse game LOL. We tossed around a football for a while & played poker :D I hope everyone had a lot of fun--we raised a LOT of money. Special recognition to Kerry who raised over $800!!

Korea Night After Party

Chalking on campus

Iota Charter <3

Sigma Psi Zeta Sorority hosted Korea Night After Party @ the Drama House on Saturday March 21st, 2009! We advertised by flyering and chalking the grounds on campus, with the help of Angela Lim from Tau Chapter. We had our own DJ Relapse who spun good music all night long :) We had a pretty good turn out and we showed off our National Stroll !

Three of our sisters were actually part of the Korea night show and performed a traditional fan dance. You girls looked so beautiful :')

Tea Tasting (Spring 2009)

On March 25th 2009, we had our Tea Tasting event as a part of Wake Up In Wilson. We cosponsored with student activities office and dining service. They provided teas and hot water so we don't need to worry about food safety.=)
We made a poster board with tea-related information and introduced four kinds of teas: Houjicha, Jasmine Tea, Oolong Tea and Chinese Green Tea. Apparently, Houjicha was the most popular one^^.
Thank all sisters who helped at the event or showed up for the healthy and tasty breakfast.

National Convention Spring 2009

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!
