SPRING RECRUITMENT
JANUARY 6TH-14TH
For spring recruitment, the sisters of alpha Kappa
Delta Phi at UChicago organized Rush Week themed
"It's Always Sunny with aKDPhi" in the midst of a cold
and windy start of the school year.
Events for the week included a crepe social with Delta
Kappa Epsilon, nail painting and cookie decorating, as
well as a service event (see left). The sisters and potential rushees made blankets for the Franciscan Sisters
of H umboldt Park. They got to make an impact in the
community and experience one of alpha Kappa Delta
Phi's pillars.
SISTERHOOD BTSR
After a restful winter break, the sisters got
together for an afternoon for their Sisterhood
BTSR. They spent the time catching up with
each other, doing makeup, painting their nails, and
relaxing before the new and busy quarter began.

VIOLENCE AWARENESS
MIDYEAR
In honor of our fallen sister, Valerie Z avala (1983 - 2003),
our chapter invited the UChicago Police Department to give
us a presentation for Violence Awareness Day. The two officers gave us tips and suggestions on staying safe in and
around campus as well as the resources that are available to
students. At UChicago, we say N O M ORE to violence, N O
M ORE to victim blaming, and N O M ORE to unsafe
campuses.
Thank you to Effy Fang, our president,
and Lillian Sun, our Treasurer, for
participating in M idyear in January!
You've both put in so much effort for
the chapter!
