Resume Building Workshop
Our Resume Building Workshop with the Stony Brook University Pre-Occupational Therapy Society was a huge success! We were able to have our advisor, Wylie, be our guest speaker. He provided us with first hand advice on how to put together a proper and acceptable resume. We appreciated his wisdom and input to a bright future. There is no doubt that we are all getting into our dream jobs now.
China Night 2016!
China Night 2016 was a blast! Thank you to the brothers of Pi Delta Psi for collaborating with us this year. Watch how it all went down in the embedded video below.
China Night 2016 (aKDPhi x PDPsi)
Greek Week!
PB&J making contest with ΛΘΑ, ΣΙΣ, ΦΒΣ, ΦΧ and ΙΝΔ! This was just one out of the many events held for this year's Greek Week. Among many others were a 90's Karaoke Contest, a food eating contest as well as a Talent Show contest.
Showing our support for the Center of Prevention and Outreach
During our Fraternity and Sorority all speaker series, Greek organizations showed their support for the Center of Prevention and Outreach by making this banner.
Stony Brook University's Earthstock
On a beautiful Friday this month, we helped the Weekend Life Council of Stony Brook University at a campus-wide event called Earth Stock! We gave out free tote bags and reminded people to save plastic bags. This service event made us feel good about reducing our carbon footprint!
Roadtrip to New York University's Bubble Tea Event!
As finals week is coming closer, we would like to thank NYU aKDPhi for inviting us to their free Bubble Tea Break event earlier this month. We learned many new things through your presentation on the history of bubble tea. Continue spreading that Asian Awareness! Thanks for the yummy bubble tea!
Sisterhood paint nite!
We had our very first aKDPhi Paint Nite led by our sister Amy *dé la crème* Lam! Thanks for teaching us the ways of an artist!!! Much art sisters, much art.
Special mentions
Akdphit
Congrats to our President Alyssa *èuphoria* Mirasol on winning 2 medals at the USAPL South Brook Weightlifting Club's Spring Classic 2016! You stun us all since both were 1st place medals too! Our president took home first in the 52kg Open Division as well as the Junior Division. Her humble response to this spectacular achievement? "I hope to bring Stony aKDPhi’s name into a brighter light!" You embody the true definition of #akdphit!!!
Occupational Therapy Conference
Shoutout to our sister Annie *Aveíra* Liu for chasing her passions while balancing difficult classes like Human Anatomy this semester! As PR/Event Coordinator of the Pre-OT Club at Stony Brook, her goal is to become an Occupational Therapist. This month, she was finally able to attend the largest gathering of OT practitioners and students in the world in Chicago! Cheers to being our future OT, better give us all the sisterhood discount!!!!
2nd place at Defining Rhythm and 4th place at Elements XVI
Shoutout to two of our seniors for performing on behalf of PUSO Modern! We are happy to admire your dance moves from afar. Through all your late night practices, you guys deserved to place! What a way to end the month.
Outstanding Student Leadership
As Vice President of Order of Omega, Jenny *Mariveles* Chen maintained the fundraising, volunteer hours as well as planned the student faculty brunch. It sounds like a stressful year! We are glad that you pulled through Jenny!
Academic Excellence Award
This award can only be received if nominated by professors and mentors! When asked about how Leese *Quantum X* Suh felt about receiving this award, she said "I am involved with a lot outside the classroom. I love drawing, and so I illustrate drawings for my research department. I also write review articles for various scientific concepts such as BPH and other complications in the body. I'm involved in club lacrosse, Project BEaUtifull, USG, NSCS and Sigma Beta so I think that's why I won it! But to be honest, I really don't know the real reason!" It doesn't matter girl, you deserve it!
Order of Omega
Our 6th sister was inducted into Order of Omega Honor Society! Go Christina *d'moliere* Lai!
IFSC Treasurer
We have a sister that is going to be on eboard of Inter Fraternity and Sorority Council next semester! Christy *VINDICT* Ku is going to be Treasurer!
