SORORITIES MARK 50TH YEAR Sororities at LC celebrated their 50th anniversary during Homecoming weekend with a gala event at Highland Country Club. Former and current members of Alpha Omicron Pi, Kappa Delta and Phi Mu gathered to reminisce, to recognize founding members and to paint the town red … and green and white … and pink and white.
A joint planning committee spent a year coordinating the weekend celebration—and built new LC friendships in the process.
