International Badge Day: A Time to Remember Monday, March 4, 2013 Fellowship, leadership and a lifelong commitment to community service are the daily themes in the lives of sorority women from our college members to alumnae. On Monday, March 4, these women who number in the millions celebrated International Badge Day during National Womens History Month. On that day, all of us honored our separate and distinct Greek-letter affiliations by wearing our badges or letters. Its a day set aside to acknowledge successful women around the globe, whether they are U.S. senators or university freshmen working for humanitarian aid in far-away continents. The National Panhellenic Conference, one of the largest and oldest womens organizations in the world, is not alone in celebrating and acknowledging all that women do. Other groups, such as the National Association of Latino Fraternal Organizations and the National Multicultural Greek Council, celebrate in their own diverse ways to recognize women. Each group is distinct in its fraternal bonds, and each will celebrate in different ways. But all will be celebrating the diverse interests of women. On March 4, campuses and chapters across the globe joined to celebrate achievements in science, community, government, media, literature, art, sports, medicine and those female leaders who have had an impact on the development of self-respect and new opportunities for girls and young women everywhere. Each year there are still firsts for women; some are recognized, some are not. Lets pause to take a moment and reflect on all that we do in our deeds and words and recognize the milestones achieved. The Quinnipiac Panhellenic Community celebrated National Ritual Celebration Week from March 4th to March 8th. The first day of NRCW being International Badge day, which is when the women of the Panhellenic community at Quinnipiac displayed their badges over their hearts symbolizing their pride in their organizations. International Badge Day has been sponsored by the National Panhellenic Conference since 1997 and is a day where women around the world can show love for all of their different organizations through this small but still powerful gesture. Imagine what may happen during the next year as we continue to work together to break down barriers. Women rarely travel their paths alone. And we wont on this special day either.
forever! As of now, the video that Savage and King produced has been seen over 3,000 times on YouTube and has gotten recognition from various fraternities and sororities around the country as well as T.J. Sullivan who called the video, a beautiful version of his original words.
The Executive Vice President of QU Panhellenic Shannon Savage with the help of Delta Tau Delta Aaron King worked to create the official version of Campus Speak founder TJ Sullivans You Are Always Wearing Your Letters. The meaning of YAAWYL is a simple one. As a new member says yes to their organization, they are always representing their organization in their actions. Sullivans message represents being apart of your organization not just the days you wear your letters on a t-shirt or the days that you go to chapter, but all day everyday. Savage and King filmed the video over a span of two days and included members of each fraternity and sorority at Quinnipiac. In addition, due to all of her hard work, Savage was able to introduce staff members willing to support the video and its message. When these staff members helped out, it truly showed that fraternity and sorority life is not just for four years, it is

Jackie is a Junior Physician Assistant major. She has the second highest GPA in Phi Sigma Sigma and received a 4.0 GPA for the 2012 fall semester. Recently at an event a sister fainted. When this happened, Jackie was one of the few first running over to help. She helped her sister by using the skills that she learned in her EMT classes. Jackie truly lives the values of Phi Sigma Sigma because she aims high with everything that she does!
Kristina is focused on her studies daily and extremely dedicated to her Nursing major. She has a passion for learning an admirable trait, especially in today's society. She has managed to stay on the Dean's List through all 3 semesters so far at Quinnipiac while also being involved in Pi Phi and other activities. She helps other Nursing Majors in subjects such as Bio and Anatomy and always works hard at school!
Lauren has an outstanding ability to excel in academics and her extra curriculars. Not only is she basically team captain for Pi Beta Phi's Greek Week team, but she is also Vice President for Programming on the Student Government Association. This could arguably be considered the most time consuming student-held position there is on campus, and Lauren handles it flawlessly. She has one of the highest GPA's in our chapter and always puts her best foot forward with everything that she does.
Cristina is an incredible sorority woman and contributor to the Quinnipiac community. Her experiences have made her an amazing VP of Member Education and founding sister of Kappa Delta. She has worked her hardest this month to educate the new members and inspire them to wear their letters with pride. Her love and support for the Panhellenic and Quinnipiac community is admirable and her constant positive attitude is infectious. She is always willing to lend a helping hand and is a friend anyone can count on.
