Why did you join Sigma Psi Zeta?
I wanted to learn more about Asian culture and diversity. Before, I had never even had non-Chinese Asian food.
Have a Great Summer!
From the sisters of Sigma Psi Zeta...have a wonderful summer everyone! Keep updated on our website for information on our FALL '09 RUSH!

Greek Week!
Thanks to everyone who came out to support during the first sponsored GREEK WEEK. There were a lot of fun events like a speaker event, a carnival with a dunk booth, dinner with Greek food and Rochester garbage plates, etc. Sisters had a lot of fun going to events and meeting other Greeks. And apparently, our enthusiasm paid off - Sigma Psi Zeta won the Greek Week Award for "Best Spirit!" Yay!

Happy 15 Years, Sigma Psi Zeta!
The Iota Charter was proud to celebrate Sigma Psi Zeta's 15 year anniversary with our annual founders' week, a week filled with events representing our work as a cultural, social, educational, and community-service oriented sorority. We held a very successful resume-building workshop in the Career Center, where sisters learned inside hints about how to have success while applying for internships, graduate schools, and jobs. We also held a tea-tasting event during Wake Up in Wilson, where we had different types of tea for students and faculty to sample and learn about. We also tabled all week for March of the Dimes, which is a charity whose mission is to help improve the health of babies and prevent birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality. With the help of donations from the university's community, we were able to raise a substantial amount to donate to the organization.
Also, this weekend was our annual Alumnae Weekend! Thanks so much to our alumnae Helen Phan, Tiffany Tsui, Stephanie Liu, Sayaka Hanada, Miranda Kiang, and Christie Hoang for coming out to Rochester and joining us for this weekend. Sisters had a great time bonding with each other during our event-filled weekend.
Please come and support Sigma Psi Zeta, as we have a lot of exciting events coming up!

Congratulations Iota Charter!
Congratulations the sisters at Iota Charter for our latest achievement! Last night was our Office for Fraternity and Sorority Affairs' Annual Recognition Reception and the Iota Charter was awarded one of the highest honors, the Expectations for Excellence Strategic Planning Award.
This award is given to 3 organizations in which each has excelled in the five categories of our University's accreditation process. The following areas which the EE covers are: scholarship, community building and leadership, programming, non-academic student conduct, and organizational management. We are really excited of the most recent accomplishment. We will be adding pictures and the details of the letter on our website shortly. :)
Good luck with the rest of the semester and happy Spring!
