Academic Leaders We ended the spring semester with a 3.32 GPA, which is above the Panhellenic average, ranking us sixth among Panhellenic chapters. Our scholarship chairman, Meghan Ketcham '13, established a mentorship program, in which older members are paired with younger members in the same major. This program has been a great way for older members to meet new members and stay involved. Recruitment Success Recruitment went extremely well for Tau Chapter and we welcomed home more than 60 new ADPs. We are excited to get to know all of these incredible women better. These new members will participate in a 10-week education program, where they will learn everything about Alpha Delta Pi. Initiation has been set for early November. Phenomenal Philanthropic Involvement Last semester, we not only won the Phi Psi 500, which was a week-long competitive philanthropy event, but we placed third in the Sigma Chi's Derby Days. This semester, we are excited to be paired with the men of Alpha Tau Omega for Homecoming, which is set for October 25-31. Awarding Alpha Delta Pi This summer, I was able to attend Grand Convention along with our chapter advisor, Anne Smith, Texas Tech University '07, and our house corporation representative, Liz Miller '07. At Grand Convention, Bailey Borgmier '11 was awarded the Dorothy Shaw Leadership Award, which is the highest individual award given to an Alpha Delta Pi. We were so proud of her for this achievement. Gearing up for Intramurals We are excited to compete in intramurals this semester, following last semester's success as outdoor soccer champions. This semester, members will be participating in flag football, indoor soccer, volleyball, and basketball. We are eager to see what is in store for our chapter this semester and have high hopes it will be as successful as our last! Please stop by the chapter house next time you are in Lawrence. We would love to see you! Rock Chalk!
