Sisterhood was in the air when women from all eleven chapters in the Panhellenic community gathered for a relaxing and tasty hour of cupcake decorating.

The delegates from Alpha Chi Omega, Alpha Xi Delta, Sigma Delta Tau, and Alpha Epsilon Phi assisted the Panhellenic council in planning the event that Alpha Xi Delta very generously hosted at their lovely new home.

Almost three hundred mini-cupcakes were baked the night before to be decorated with icing and fun toppings. The event offered a stress-free break from studying and was a great opportunity for Panhellenic women, and new members in particular, to meet women from other sororities.

The Panhellenic community is continuing to encourage positive relations among all chapters by providing a relaxed setting for girls to bond with women in all chapters.

The success of the cupcake decorating event has the Panhellenic council very excited for future sisterhood events currently being planned to take place during study week.

Panhellenic has a wonderful relationship with Kaplan that allows the council to have 2 free Kaplan-run events each semester, programming during Month of the Scholar, and special discounts for all council members. 

On Saturday April 10th, Panhellenic had the opportunity to utilize this partnership, and sponsored a resume workshop for its members.  This workshop included a step-by-step presentation on how to write an effective resume, a question and answer session, and time for one-and-one resume critiques by a member of the Kaplan staff.  Each member received a free Kaplan "lucky cup" and a booklet with directions and advice about resume writing. 

Women from several Panhellenic chapters attended and participated in this workshop, asking insightful questions, and making helpful suggestions to fellow Panhellenic women.  As such, this program was not just a chance for Panhellenic to emphasize and strengthen its academics.  It also provided an opportunity for members of different chapters to interact and collaborate in a laid back, friendly environment. 

All attendees seemed to enjoy and take something away from the workshop.  Panhellenic is excited to move forward with its Kaplan partnership and host a second program next month.
