Summer Retreat 2010

Location: Deep Creek

It's that time of year again! This past August the sisters of Sigma Psi Zeta joined together for their annual trip to Deep Creek! After a whole summer apart, the sisters gathered at Deep Creek to create life long memories! During this we learned a lot about each other and bonded through stories, cooking and playing games (taboo hehehe)!

Here are just some of the MANY pictures we took:

Speak Charity Dinner

On April 5th, 2010, the sisters of Sigma Psi Zeta hosted a semi-formal charity dinner to raise awareness of domestic violence. The event was named "Speak" because of the ubiquity of domestic violence coupled with the relative lack of domestic violence awareness. We started off the evening with a speaker, L.Y. Marlow, the founder of Saving Promise Campaign, whose voice resonated throughout the room to illustrate her horrifying and touching story with regard to domestic violence. Four generations of women in her family have been domestically abused. After listening to some shocking figures involving the prevalence of this issue, approximately 100 guests were served dinner (made by our very own sisters). While the guests enjoyed the food, several talented musicians (Dale Kim, Daniel Choi, and Sarah Kim) performed relevant pieces on guitar, vocals, and piano. Proceeds from the charity dinner went to Saving Promise Campaign. Hopefully, sisters can repeat this type of event in the future to create an informative and entertaining evening and spread awareness at the same time!

LUL poetry reading/dinner

I went with some of my lovely Sigma sisters to show our support at the LUL dinner. It was like a Theta and Mu dinner ^.^ Lambda Upsilon Lambda hosted the dinner to celebrate the month of women. WOOHOO women empowerment!! They had a poet, Denise, come read some of her raw work. She was a very powerful poet who addressed a lot of current issues in her poetry. It was a new experience, but it was lots of fun. The brothers were thoughtful enough to make and serve the delicious food themselves. yumm! Thanks for inviting us! I love being able to show support because it makes me feel like we're one big happy family hahahaha. I always have a great time whenever I'm with my sisters!!

Last friday, we went to Phi Delta Sigma's bid dinner! Their new pledges were finally revealed after much anticipation. It was lots of fun, especially because it was my first bid dinner and all my Sigma sisters were looking GORGEOUS! Many other orgs. were there to support the new pledges of Phi Delta Sigma. *Props* to Sejin, Nancy and Bethany for making them a delicious looking fruit tart. Thanks guys!! There was food, a live band and a photo corner. We of course had our own mini photo shoot because we loveee taking pictures. We have so much love for each other:)

We hope their new pledges and their pledge dad Spencer and their pledge assistant Pascal the best of luck!! Good luck boys, we're here for support! I always have fun spending time with my sisters at events. It's always nice to dress up and show our support! Sigmas always roll deep!!:)
