creativity. Even the songs brought forth an
emotional wave of desire to want to be a part,"

remembered the cookie shine ceremony and
the laughter and funny stories that followed,

believes the Colorado Alpha house is one of
the most beautiful on campus. She thinks the
new hardwood floors, updated bathrooms, and
numerous infrastructure additions, including
new furnaces, water heaters, electrical system,

the charm of the house. "I can hardly wait to

She was so impressed by her visit
she urges all alumnae to return to

it is the same house with its beauty
and charm and memories pouring out in all
directions. It has just been adapted to be more
safe and sound, spacious and comfortable, have
more areas for quiet study, while interfacing
with the advancements of this growing
technological time," says Ponce. "If Pi Phis are
to stay competitive, especially academically and
technologically, with other Greek houses, as well
as the inroad of new and renovated off-campus

give girls an attractive place where they really
want to live and study."
Ponce lives in Boulder, Colorado, with her
husband, Richard.
