Further, the fact that many of those memories and friendships persist today is a testament to the strong mystic bond of which we are all members. I chose to join the advisory board as a way to pay forward the gift of the most influential organization of my college days. Our thoughtful and concerned alumnae mentors demonstrate to our collegians that Sigma Kappa is not just a few years in college—it is for life. The Beta Sigma Chapter Advisory Board is always looking for new board members. The time commitment is flexible, and we leverage technology so the majority of advising can occur via telephone or e-mail. Please do not hesitate to contact me for additional information. I am happy to share details regarding time commitment, open advisory positions, and answer any other questions you may have. In Sigma, Lindsey Farrell '05 Advisory Board Supervisor lindseyefarrell@gmail.com | (765) 404-0898 I he Purdue campus is made up of several districts, sub- districts, and neighborhoods that are each defined by a particular array of land and building uses. Purdue's imperative is to sustain the richness and diversity of place embodied in the variety of campus districts, while drawing those districts together in a way that makes a holistic campus. The campus districts are identified as: 1. Island-The Island, located between University and Russell Streets, west of the north core and east of university housing, and home to Sigma Kappa, is a unique zone that hosts a variety of organizational and cooperative housing, private housing, as well as religious organizations representing eight percent of the student population. At least two-thirds of the property in the Island is privately owned. Its inhabitants appreciate its unique neighborhood and residential scale. The University recognizes that any potential intrusion into the Island must be handled sensitively with minimal displacement of existing occupants, and is committed to engaging in a consultative process using a timetable driven by the condition of the existing facilities. Sasaki's analysis suggestsfuture University intervention can most likely be contained between Third and State Streets. Third Street is an important east-west connection between the existing housing district and the north academic core. It represents a natural pedestrian desired line to be further reinforced….a natural location for mixed-use development such as additional housing with ground floor retail. 2. North Academic Core-Home to the main administrative buildings comprised of 100 acres bounded by State Street on the south, University Street on the west, and Northwestern on the east. 3. South Academic Core-On the south side of State Street the south academic core has historically housed the agriculture, science, and veterinary schools. Various support facilities are being located further south of the quarry pond. 4. Discovery Park-The Park lies immediately to the west of the south academic core. As the campus' newly developed onsite research center, Discovery Park has been the central focus of recent capital investment. With the relocation of US231 approved, and the extension of Jischke Drive to it, significant potential exists for a major new southern entrance to the campus, highlighting the Park's research activity. 5. Purdue Village-The primary home to international and married students housed within the two-story 1950s structures sited around parking lots and courtyards. Although the area has height restrictions because of proximity to the airport, there is significant room for growth. 6. West Residential-Approximately 11,500 students are currently housed by university residences; approximately 30% of the total enrollment. The majority of undergraduate housing is located north of State Street, with Purdue Village to the south. The northern housing district is adjacent to the athletic and recreational facilities.
