The Southeastern Interfra- temity Conference (SEIFC) is the umbrella organization for all col lege/university fraternity govern ing leadership councils, like Elon College’s IFC, in the Southeast. It was founded over 30 years ago, as a voluntary association designed to bring together indi viduals and institutions with a commitment to promoting, im proving and continuing fraternity life on campus. Today the SEIFC consists of over 100 Interfraternity Coun cils in 11 southeastern states and in Washington, D.C. More information about Greek Life, the Interfraternity Council or the Southeastern Inter fraternity Conference may be found at www.elon.edu/greek.at www.elon.edu/net, or at www.uusa.vt.edu/Lsop/seifc.htm. "Greek Life at Elon College has been recognized by schools in the southeast as an asset to the experience of the undergraduates," Hesp said. "This year's officers and chapter members worked real hard - they deserve the credit for this, however, it is certainly a great way to end my frist year at Elon!"

Al pha Omicron Pi held “Walk for Roses” Saturday, March 4, to raise money for arthritis research, the sorority’s national philanthropy. About 50 sisters turned out for the event from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and walked laps around the intra mural field. AOn had the idea for this fund-raiser from chapters at other schools.

This is the first year we’ve done this fund-raiser,” Elisabeth Knier, AOIl philanthropy chair, said. “I hope we will continue to hold this event in years to come.” Members of the chapter so licited sponsors from family mem bers, hall mates and faculty at Elon. Sponsors could pledge an amount per lap walked or offer a flat dona tion. "This year we’re concentrat ing on juvenile arthritis,” Knier said. “We’re hoping the money raised from this event will help out chil dren who are affected by the dis ease.” Other organizations on cam pus also gave to the worthwhile event. “I thought the walk was very successful,” Knier said. "Even though some sisters or organiza tions weren’t able to attend, they still donated to the cause.” AOn is currently tallying the money raised from “Walk for Roses” as they collect from their sponsors. Anyone who is inter ested in donating to the cause may contact Elisabeth Knier at X3081.
