AST was featured in the April 16th issue of the Washington Square News, NYU’s student newspaper!  Kudos to Rachel Abrams, who planned this event and to all the sisters who went.

“Poetry slam is like family,” Alpha Sigma Tau sister and slam poet Rachel Abrams told the audience. “If you hear something you like, you snap, you stomp your feet, you do whatever.”

Alpha Sigma Tau and Alpha Epsilon Pi co-sponsored the event as part of the Greek Week festivities. All of the proceeds went to VH1’s Save the Music campaign, which raises money for public school music programs.

Sisters Attend Barack Obama Rally

Katherine O. @ Barack Obama Rally 9.28.07

So who is that lovely woman meeting one of our 2008 Presidential hopefuls? Snaps to Katherine O. for getting to meet Barack Obama and for getting herself on the NyTimes video website. The actual video is here (scroll to about 1:51 for Katherine O.-goodness). Obama came for a rally in Washington Square Park on 9.28.07 and spoke to an estimated crowd of 20,000.

Disclaimer: The video and above snapshot are copyrighted to the NyTimes website. I don’t lay claim to it. Also, we, Alpha Sigma Tau: Delta Phi chapter, do not publicly endorse Barack Obama; our chapter is made up of a group of women with diverse political beliefs and you’re all entitled to vote for whoever you want. The end.
