In the words of Phineas and Ferb “There’s 104 days of summer vacation; So the annual problem for our generation is finding a good way to spend it. As you can see, there’s a whole lot of stuff to do before school starts this fall.” As a teacher, yes, I have a lot of “to [...]
In 2009 I attended an un-conference called She’s Geeky. I had a great time there networking with dozens of other geek girls. Something I learned there that I hadn’t realized before was that a lot of women in tech feel isolated as a member of the female minority. It didn’t occur to me until the [...]
I’m sure you’ve read the poem “Sigma Kappa is…” If you haven’t, you need to…just have a tissue handy. That was my poem during recruitment. I fought every year to read it during preference. Of course, no one else wanted to memorize it so it wasn’t that hard to win. That poem reminds us that [...]
Remember when you were a kid during summer? Spending days gorging on popsicles and ice cream and penny candy (no, I’m not that old, my town did have a store with penny candy) and soda when your parents weren’t looking, running around like a crazy person on the sugar high for a while, then [...]
Back during my “pledge” days we had “Pledge Moms” (now known as “Big/Littles.”). However, we all have the original “pledge mom” or big sister.. our own Mother Earth. So in the spirit of Inherit the Earth and Earth Day in April, this post will focus on how we can be both green and Greek! This [...]
The earth has many wonderful things to offer, but to a farmer, it is their livelihood. As an organic dairy farmer that grows corn, alfalfa and wheat for their cows as well as grazing lush green grasses, the earth provides a venue for us to be successful. Our family realizes that taking care of our [...]
Do you know what a binturong is (or that they smell like Fritos)? Have you ever gotten so close to a lion pride that you could tell the females apart just by their noses? I do and I have because I’ve developed a personal and professional relationship with an organization called Conservators’ Center in [...]
Growing up in Chicago we have both ends of the ‘luck’ spectrum. On one side there are the Cubs, fondly known as the “Loveable Losers.” Unlucky does not even begin to describe a team that has not won a world series since 1907 ( yes 105 very long and painful years). On the other side [...]
If you have no idea what Sigma Kappa convention means or who should attend, you are not alone. Prior to volunteering for Sigma Kappa, I was under the impression that convention was for chapter presidents and “nationals,” not knowing who or what “nationals” really meant, but convinced I didn’t fall in either category. It wasn’t [...]
Memories… we all have those fond memories of home and growing up. Whether it was a family night of playing games, watching the Chicago Blackhawks (OK, that’s mine!), or baking yummy goods like apple pie, our memories comfort us. When we leave the comfort zone of our childhood home, many of us venture to [...]
