Bathroom Remodel
T
au women returned to a fresh, bright and newly updated basement bathroom when
they arrived in August for Spirit Week.
The remodel, which was one of the Corporation Board's large summer projects, was
chaired by Cheri Curnutt Clatterbuck '79 and began as soon as the women moved out
in May. The husband of Andrea Ricke Rector '00 owns a local company, A-Team Custom
Construction, who completed the project.
We continued the design style previously made in the main hall bathroom and
throughout the house, with the basement bathroom now featuring clean lines and a
modern color scheme of blues and grays.
The basement bathroom, or the dungeon as it was once known, now features ample
lighting, including can lights over each shower stall as well as new lighting as you enter
the bathroom. The light plays nicely off the bright white tiles and cool gray floor. The
look is tied together with stylish blue-gray striped shower curtains. It is now a modern
and inviting space for chapter women to get ready for the day.
Tau sisters ready for formal 2019.
Tau takes
3rd on Hill
for grades
W
ith a lot of hard work and
dedication to improving overall
academics, we were able to grab the
third highest grades on the hill for
Panhellenic women, with a 3.45 GPA.
Scholarship advisor Alicia Green '98
credits several key changes to help
the chapter reach the academic level
they have in such a short time. In just
a few semesters the women have been
able to consistently raise the house
GPA to a solid 3.4 from a 3.3. This has
been achieved through commitment
from the scholarship chairmen,
who have maintained a consistent
strive for excellence semester over
semester, even when the role has
passed from one sister to another.
"The last four scholarship chairmen
have worked really hard to get the
chapter to buy in to the importance
of scholarship and work closely
with women who are struggling
academically to help put them on
a more positive path," Alicia said.
She went on to say that additional
changes from Executive Office in the
area of scholarship have been helpful
in improving academic performance.
