Every coach, everyteam, every sport has it: a gameplan, a strategy. Get the basket-ball to the best free thrower. Play

the soccer ball down the wings ofthe field. Get the player with thebest RBI up to bat fourth. All dif-ferent strategies with one outcome intended: a win. But some-times the win doesnt come soeasy, sometimes you have to justforget the game plan, and dowhat it takes to get the victory.Sometimes you have to go in forthat slide tackle, you have to divefor that catch, or you have to slideinto that base, cause in the last

moments of the game everythingcounts. Its what we love though,we practice for those games, welive for those games. We dont

want it to come easy, we want tobeat the best to be the best, andwe want to go further than everbefore. We want to be the teamthat goes there.

No one knows this feel-ing better than the athletes in TriDelta. For the past two quarters in2009-2010 school year they havegone there, they have pushed tothe limits, they have found theenergy in them they didnt know

they had, and they left all theyhad to give with the spirit of TriDelta on the playing field. It beganwith wins in football and volleyball

against multiple sororities, andchampionship in soccer. Now withthe arrival of spring quarter thingsarent going to change. There willbe blood, sweat, tears andstreaks of Tri Delt blue and goldstaining wood floors of the arcbasketball courts and streakingthrough the grass of the softballfields. The spirit wont changebecause champions dontchange.

Philanthropy By Amanda DAvila

For my first devotional section I wantto focus on one of Tri Deltas greatest

passions: philanthropy. Last quarterour involvement in DHOP was amazingand I know the entire chapter put theirheart and soul into making our philan-thropy event a success. I was so proudof our accomplishments and couldnthelp but imagine how many amazingchildrens lives we would be able totouch with just the flip of a pancake. Ishare with you an excerpt from MayaAngelous book Letter to My Daughterexplaining her view on philanthropy.Here she shares with us her experiencewith philanthropy and how it has madean impact on not only her life but also

the lives of those she has touched.Philanthropy is all about bringing joy toothers and feeling the reward of sheerhappiness as you share your gift ofgiving with those in need.

The word philanthropy was takenfrom the two Greek words, philolover of; and anthro mankind. Sophilanthropists are lovers of humanity.They build imposing edifices for peopleto work in and to play in. Theysupport organizations which offer bet-ter health and education to the society.They are the principal patrons of thearts.

The mention of philanthropy elicitssmiles, followed by the sensation of

receiving unexpected good fortunefrom a generous but faceless source

I [have] learned that I could be a giverby simply bringing a smile to anotherperson. The ensuing years have taughtme that a kind word, a vote of supportis a charitable gift. I can move over andmake another place for someone.

With that I leave you lovely deltaswith a smile, and I hope you rememberthat, we, Tri Delta women, are lovers ofhumanity. So go out and share yourlove and joy for a cause greater thanyourself! See how many people you canshare your beautiful smile with today.

V O L U M E 1 , I S S U E 4 P A G E 5

By Carla Herreria

Picture this: a mansion-esquehouse at noon. Boys in muscle

tanks and backward-turned hats are

waking up mounds of

empty bottles, and

reaching for their first

beer of the day. Just

out the window,

sprawled across the

lawn lies empty beer

cans and a sleeping

student with a fresh

sharpie-drawn face.

Out on the sidewalk,

girls with matching

outfits, pearls, lip

stick and gossip are

making their walk of shame back

home. With a fake smile and con-

ceited glare, they proudly strut back

to their house, heels in hand. And

then the camera pans out. Above it

all, Greek letters belligerently spell

out Hollywoods version of the

Greek stereotype.

This stereotype has become so

deeply embedded into our society,

that the image of the belligerent

frat boy and sorority drama-

queens are consistently placed

onto realmen and women ofreal

Greek organizations. We have to

realize that these exaggerated

stereotypes are drawn from the

publics perception of the things we

do. It is our responsibility, as

Greek influences on campus, to

show that there is more to our or-

ganizations than partying and so-

cializing amongst each other. This

week, I interviewed Diego Aviles

from Pi Kappa Alpha about his

experience a member of a Greek

organization at UCI:

What do you think isthe worst part of the

Greek stereotype?I think the worst part

of it is that a large

group of people be-

lieve that all we do is

party and drink.

Greek life has a muchbigger side to it that alot of people choose to

ignore.

How do you respondto people that choose

to take on that belief?I usually tell them about all the

other things we do, such as com-pete in sports and our philan-

thropy events. I usually give them

specific examples of things I have

been a part of, like songfest andthe food bank. And also thingslike beach clean-ups, study hours,

and minimum amount of commu-

nity service hours to participate inevents (specific to KA).

How has being in a fraternity im-pacted you personally?I personally have been able to justhold myself more accountable in

nearly every aspect of my life.

Having so many things going onwhile keeping up with my studies

and job has allowed me to reallylearn about time management. It

has taught me the importance of

prioritizing and the benefits of aclose group of friends within such

a large school

What do you think of the term"frat boy"?

I think it just adds to the stereotype. The term really just empha-

sizes all the stigmas that people

attach to Greek life.

What do you think the best part ofbeing in a fraternity is?I think its just being a part of

something bigger than yourself.

When I stop and think of how my

life would be without its Greek

aspect, I am reassured that I made

the correct choice. It just sort of

gave me my niche here at UCI

Do you think Greeks can takesteps to try and erase this Greekstereotype?I think we can, but as a whole we

have to remember that one small

mistake from any chapter affects

the entire Greek community at

large. We just have to continue to

improve our community through

combined efforts and working

closely with other groups on cam-pus.But it

will be a

long timebefore

the

stereo-

type can

be elimi-

nated, if

at all. I

guess

peoplewon't

really

know unless they experience how

Greek life really is and how itsnothing like how it is portrayed in

the media.
