U.S. STUDENT SHADOW PRESIDENT UPDATE: A Waste of Time?

Recently, President Obama traveled to Copenhagen to campaign for his home city of Chicago to host the 2016 Summer Olympic games. While the Chicago bid ultimately failed, I was surprised to hear so much commotion about the president’s trip, which took less than 24 hours, 18 of which were in the air.

DOES YOUR CHAPTER HAVE A BANNER?

Our Pi Gamma Mu banners have been very popular, and we have had to reorder more. These banners are great to use at your initiation ceremonies, and you can display them in a prominent spot to advertise your chapter.
 

CHAPTERS IN ACTION

The North Carolina Lambda chapter at Western Carolina University had a major project this last year. It organized meetings working with other groups to create a public park around an ancient Indian Mound in Franklin, N.C. Students worked to contact schools on the project and strengthen attendance at meetings. They worked with the town of Franklin and Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. Signage is planned at the park on early history of the mound. The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians is only 30 minutes from the campus at WCU.
