Sisterhood strengthened Sorority fundraises for lupus research By Alayna.Flor iowastatedaily.com Sisterhood is usually thought of as the childhood bond of two girls with the same blood and same set of parents, but the Kappa Delta sisterhood is much different. It’s their individual qualities and hardships they overcome together that makes them quite the untypical sisterhood. One member knows from experience. “In September of 2007, I was diagnosed with lupus. I ended up having to take a semester off of school in order to go home for treatment,” said Katy Kramp, president of Kappa Delta. “Although I was in this fight by myself, my sisters in their true
spirit weren’t going to sit back and do nothing, which is where “Grilled Cheese with the KDs” was created,” Kramp said. Each year, all chapters of the greek community put on philanthropy events for a cause of their choice. Kappa Delta sisters changed their philanthropy to raise money for the Lupus Foundation, in honor of their sister Katy, and hosted Grilled Cheese With the KDs. “When she got sick, we decided to raise the money for her. It was a big deal that the whole house showed her how strong of a sisterhood she had,” said Sara Schlueter, philanthropy chairwoman of Kappa Delta and sophomore in pre-journalism and mass communication. “Grilled cheese is simple and really good. It’s an easy way to get a lot of people to come to our philanthropy,” Schlueter said. “Lupus is a chronic, autoimmune disease that can damage any

part of the body, and the signs and symptoms tend to last longer than six weeks and often for many years,” according to the Lupus Foundations website. Lupus makes it very difficult for anyone with it to fight off even the common cold, and there is no cure for it. “We raise money for the Lupus Foundation because lupus is something that effects a lot of people and because we do it in honor of our sister,” Schlueter said. “This is something close to home and personal. It shows how much
how we really care.” This year will be the fourth year that Kappa Delta holds its grilled cheese event. They are working harder each year to make it bigger than the last. The ladies have raised $6,000 so far and aim to make this year a huge success. “With the efforts of Kappa Delta raising money toward the research, hopefully someday soon they will know more about this disorder,” Kramp said. “Each member of our chapter is personally invested in this philanthropy seeing as it impacts them everyday having a sister dealing with lupus.” The event will take place Thursday night, and patrons can buy tickets for $5 at the door, or $4 beforehand from a member. “There will be a DJ and a grilled

Students advocate sustainability By Elisse.Lorenc iowastatedaily.com A variety of student organizations gathered together Wednesday at the free speech zone for National Campus Sustainability Day. Engineers who participated in the event have been working on various projects including a solar water heater. “The main goal is to be able to use it as a water heater on campus and during the winter, heat it up and make hot chocolate,” said Owen Mayer, sophomore in mechanical engineering. Other projects include an
electrical motorcycle that participants want to create a rechargeable, wind-powered turbine for that will help charge the bike overtime. The group plans to experiment with the idea of door power. “We’re experimenting with the energy it takes to open a door if we can hook a generator up to it at all. Every time a door gets opened, it gets a little resistance and hopefully creates enough charge to power something,” Mayer said. Engineers for a Sustainable World strives to incorporate sustainability both interna-

The ISU women’s basketball season begins Nov. 4, with an exhibition game against Minnesota State, Mankato. The next night, Nov. 5, the ISU men are set to open their season against the University of Dubuque. But a great deal of work still needs to be done for Hilton Coliseum to be fully recovered for those games to be played on the Cyclones’ home court. “We’re hopeful that we’re going to be able to return to Hilton on the first week of November,” said Steve Malchow, ISU senior associate athletic director for communications. “We fully expect to meet that schedule.” Work has been ongoing in Hilton since flooding filled the building with more than 10 feet of water Aug. 11. Malchow said work at the facility is evaluated and tested daily to ensure the new equipment being installed is functional and that the facility will be safe for teams and fans at games. There are tests, walkthroughs or evaluations scheduled nearly every day from now until just one day before the Cyclones’ first game, and any “major issue” in the process can throw the schedule off entirely. “We fully anticipate opening,” Malchow said. “But we can’t say with 100 percent certainty until we go through each of these tests, evaluations, walkthroughs and approvals.” Nick Britton, assistant athletic director of event management, has been

GSB adds harassment to resolution By Michaela. Sickmann iowastatedaily.com Imagine you’re 12 years old. You’re scared and confused. For some reason you seem different from everybody else, even though externally you’re the same. Your friends are talking about their weekend and how they’re hoping to get a girlfriend, but you, for some reason, don’t want the same. You are attracted to the same sex. This is the story of Jacob Wilson, junior in political science. He doesn’t remember when he knew, he just realized he wasn’t attracted to women. “I can’t even really think of the exact moment, but being 12 years old, a lot of my friends were starting to talk to girls and I realized I don’t have that attraction at all,” Wilson said. “It’s really scary and I didn’t want to be different, especially in grade school; people are vicious. Your peers are vicious even for little things like having a certain lunch box or wearing a certain T-shirt, let alone for something grand and crazy as being attracted to someone of the same sex.”
