The women of Rho Chapter have been work- ing tirelessly to make this semester the best we have seen. RECRUITMENT We recently welcomed 54 new members to our chapter. Our new member educa- tor, Emily Levine '17, has met with them weekly to start the new member process. We initiated the women on March 7 and are so excited to welcome them into our chapter as active members. PHILANTHROPY We recently held our annual basketball tournament, Phi Trotters. Forty-three teams signed up, paying $60 per team to par- ticipate. All of the money was donated to Sharsheret, one of our national philan- thropies. From the tournament, we raised approximately $3,000! SISTERHOOD We have been very successful in previous sisterhood events, such as our '80s-themed roller skating night, hamantaschen baking, bowling, and a Super Bowl watch party. Our latest new member class plans to go to SkyZone soon to get to know each other more while doing something fun! We are planning so many more events, especially ones including the entire chapter. ACADEMICS Once again, our women have been above the average Panhellenic and OSU GPAs — a great accomplishment for our chapter. For the next few months, Rho Chapter will continue our academic efforts, striving to improve our performance. We have been increasingly engaged in this regard and hope our efforts make this the best year yet! Thank you, alumnae, for your continuing support and love. We look forward to bet- tering the Rho Chapter you see today. As always, if you are in Columbus, our door is always open and we are excited to show you the Rho Chapter house!
