KOKOMO, Ind.—Members of IU Kokomo’s new sorority, Phi Sigma Sigma, have had a busy first month. In addition to weekly sisterhood events, members of Iota Epsilon Colony donated blood in the IU/Purdue Blood donor Challenge, and passed out treats during the Halloween Open House. All chapter members participated in Make a Difference Day on October 25. The Make a Difference program encourages community residents nationwide to volunteer for worthy causes. Iota Epsilon Archon, or chief officer, Meghan Smith of Kokomo said local members played bingo with residents of Century Villa in Greentown and Windsor Estates in Kokomo, and treated residents of Nesting Doves in Kokomo to pizza and a movie. This month, sorority members will help serve food at the campus’ November 15 International Day Festival, hold a members-only fundraiser, and make plans for their December chapter installation ceremonies. They’ll also be recruiting more women to join them in 2004. Now through November 26, Phi Sigma Sigma members will staff an information table in the Kelley Student Center. Female students can sign up to attend interest parties before new member pinning in February 2004. To be considered for membership, women must attend at least two interest parties, Smith said. Close to 60 IU Kokomo students joined the new colony in September. A few have dropped out, but most will be initiated into the sorority in a private ceremony on December 6. The following day, the national sorority will install the IU Kokomo chapter. Phi Sigma Sigma Foundation President Kim Hildred will address the initiates at an installation luncheon. Having Hildred come to Kokomo “is truly an honor,” said Smith. Grand Archon from 1988–1992, Hildred directed the overall business of all 110 Phi Sigma Sigma chapters in the United States and presided at council meetings, conventions and leadership conferences, Smith said. Smith, a psychology and business major, heads the colony’s Executive Board.
