all semester at Tau was quite eventful!
We started the year with a fantastic
recruitment where we welcomed home
68 new members. Our bid day was themed "It's
hard to be humble when you are queen of the
jungle," and everyone had such an amazing time
celebrating the new members.
Fall Semester Started Strong
In September, Tau placed third in our
Homecoming competition. During October we
had our annual Race for Ronald 5K; this year
it was a costume run where participants were
encouraged to dress up since it was close to
Halloween.
Sisterhood Events Bring Sisters Closer
In November we initiated 60 new members into
our sisterhood. Throughout the semester we
had many sisterhood events; one of our most
successful was a trip to Schaake's Pumpkin
Patch. More than 60 women picked pumpkins,
drank fresh apple cider, and bonded with their
sisters.
Also in November, Tau hosted a self-defense
workshop. We invited another sorority on
campus to join us and we had more than 300
people in attendance.
Totally Rad Semi-Formal
Our semi-formal was '80s prom-themed and
women were dressed in awesome dresses, their
hair was teased, and everyone had a blast. We
played '80s movies, old arcade games, a photo
booth and a DJ that was blasting '80s music the
entire night.
Academics on the Rise
Tau's biggest accomplishment of the semester
was our GPA improvement. We ended the
semester with a 3.34 and are currently ranked
sixth on campus. Since fall of 2013 we have
increased our GPA by nearly two-tenths.
We have high hopes for the remainder of our
spring semester and cannot wait to see what is in
store for Tau! If you're ever in the area, please
stop by the house. Our door is always open!
