This year was a very successful year for the Tau Septaton chapter of Phi S i g m a Kappa at Hope College. The chapter worked hard to embrace its cardinal principles of brotherhood, scholarship and character all year long. Over the course of the year the Phi Sigs participated in n u m e r o u s activities. In October, the chapter was a m o n g the fundraising leaders in Relay for Life and a Phi Sig won the Mr. Relay competition for the third time in the past f o u r years. The Phi Sigs also participated in Dance Marathon, ushered at the Christmas Vespers services, co-sponsored a Christmas dance at Resthaven Care C o m m u nity retirement home, volunteered at Holland-o-Ween (a trick-or-treating and pumpkin carving safety event and Halloween party for local kids sponsored by the Holland Park District), walked in the Jingle Bell walk (a walk to raise awareness for mental illness), volunteered at the C o m m u n i t y Kitchen soup kitchen held at Western Theological Seminary and volunteered at the Glitz Hair Salon Cut-a-thon to raise money for Michigan Children's L e u k e m i a Foundation. In January, six brothers represented the chapter at a regional conclave in Milwaukee, WI attended by representatives f r o m Phi Sig chapters at other colleges in Michigan and other surrounding states. During Greek Week, the Phi Sigs sponsored, organized, coached and refereed the 4th annual Greek Powder Puff Football tournament. In August, five brothers will represent the chapter at the Phi Sigma Kappa National Convention held in Nashville, TN. The Phi Sigs also achieved the goal of raising their average GPA to above the Greek m e n ' s average at Hope in 2007. After w e l c o m i n g the very talented and promising Delta class to the chapter in the spring, the chapter looks forward to promising 2007-2008 school year. • Thad Goodchild •
