Alpha
Delta Pi finished off another great year at Tech, dedicating an entire week to our
sisterhood. The week of April 16-20 served as this year’s Sisterhood Week. Each
day served as a reminder of the importance of the strong and lasting bonds of
friendship and sisterhood that only a sorority can bring.
Sisters
wore blue, yellow, and red ribbons as symbols of the various days and the
points on the Alpha Delta Pi diamond: sisterhood, scholarship, social, and
service. Sisterhood Chair, Ellis Anne Sahhar, carefully planned the week, and
many sisters attended the nightly events despite busy schedules.
Monday
through Thursday’s events represented the four points of the diamond. Monday
was a “Scholarship Night” which included a quiz game to learn more about
sisters. Tuesday served the “Social” point when sisters attended a dinner at D2
prior to attending the Greek Awards together. Wednesday was “Sisterhood Night”
where sisters were treated to a catered dinner and bonding at the Chapter
house. Last but not least, Thursday night’s activity represented the “Service”
point. On Thursday, sisters hand-painted flowerpots which were delivered to the
families staying at the Roanoke Ronald McDonald House on April 28.
Aside
from the nightly events, sisters further bonded together by wearing similar
outfits on each of the days. On Monday, sisters donned their best maroon and
orange in order to honor the victims of April 16, 2007. Tuesday’s Greek Awards
inspired sisters to wear sundresses for the day. On Wednesday, sisters showed
off their official Sisterhood Week shirts. On Thursday, sisters brought out
their favorite raised letters to let campus know they were an Alpha Delta Pi.
All in
all, the week helped us to remember the fundamental aspect of being a part of a
sorority: sisterhood.
