SUMMERTIME WITH SISTERS

Summer is full of good memories – especially when it is spent with your Sisters! Whether you’re traveling with a Sister, working with a Sister over the summer, or reuniting with your Sisters for the first time in years, each moment is a special memory. Our Sisterhood thrives when we remember that our connections are what really matters. Here’s how just some of our Sisters are keeping up their connections this summer:

Studying With Sisters

GAMMA DELTA/ UMASS DARTMOUTH

These three Sisters headed off to Iceland to study abroad this summer! Recently graduated alumnae Shawna Mobilia (Gamma Delta 2020/UMass Dartmouth) and Maddie Fontaine (Gamma Delta 2020/UMass Dartmouth) and current chapter member Izzy Hunter (Gamma Delta 2020/UMass Dartmouth) visited Akueryi, Iceland, for a few weeks. They explored the local sights, which included lots of scenic waterfalls, mountains, and vistas.

Making Those Connections

ALPHA/ EASTERN MICHIGAN & YPSILANTI-ANN ARBOR ALUMNAE CHAPTER

Sisters of all ages from the Alpha Chapter at Eastern Michigan and the Yspilanti-Ann Arbor Alumnae Chapter escaped the summer heat for a night and attended SIX: The Musical together. Events like this are a great way to make friends and connect across generations!

Alpha Taus Traveling Together

EPSILON RHO/ SUNY GENESEO

Three Sisters from the Epsilon Rho Chapter at SUNY Geneseo spent part of their summer traveling together to Greece! Valerie Norden (Epsilon Rho 2022/SUNY Geneseo), Sara Zielinski (Epsilon Rho 2021/SUNY Geneseo), and Mia Mascaro (Epsilon Rho 2021/SUNY Geneseo) shared this photo on Instagram with the rest of their chapter Sisters.

Panhellenic Love Abroad

DELTA ETA/ BELMONT

Sisters from the Delta Eta Chapter at Belmont University are sharing a little Panhellenic love in Prague! Representing Alpha Sigma Tau, these Sisters are studying abroad with Belmont’s Department of Theatre and Dance.

Mamma Mia!: A Throwback Trip

BETA DELTA/ DUQUESNE

In June 2022, Sisters from the Beta Delta Chapter at Duquesne University gathered together to take a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Greece! Peri Dimitriou (Beta Delta 2021/Duquesne), who has Greek heritage, organized the trip and hired a special tour guide for their group. Sisters loved the experience and couldn’t wait to travel together again!

Serving Their School

DELTA ZETA/ EAST STROUDSBURG

Two Sisters from the Delta Zeta Chapter at East Stroudsburg University served as Orientation Leaders over the summer! Crysta Heffner (Delta Zeta 2023/East Stroudsburg) and Errisangely Torres (Delta Zeta 2022/East Stroudsburg) worked together with their Orientation teams to welcome new students to campus and provide support to students and their families as they embark on their college careers.

Finding Family Everywhere

BETA/ CENTRAL MICHIGAN its purpose, Katie’s pictures record it as it comes together. Her pictures are more technical in nature, but she is given freedom to be creative. “75% of the pictures aren’t seen by the public,” she said. “But I do take on a more creative role when I take prettier pictures for the public relations side.”

Reeve Katt (Beta 2021/Central Michigan) traveled almost 4,000 miles to see her Little, Lotte Groenendijk (Beta 2022/Central Michigan), in her home country of the Netherlands! The two explored a lighthouse in Schiermonnikoog National Park.

Katie’s focus is on the planned Mars mission, where rovers will be sent to collect samples and determine if life on Mars is possible. “My favorite aspect of my job is that I know I am making a difference. Everything I document becomes a part of history,” Katie said. Her job requires long hours and variable schedules, which presents her with challenges. “Every day looks different. I could go home at four p.m. thinking I know what to do in the morning, and my whole day will be moved around by the time I come back. I’ve had to learn how to adapt,” she said.
