  • Sigma Psi Scholarship
    Since the fall of 1996, the alumnae board has awarded a fall rent scholarship to the actives. This fall, the award was split between two actives- senior Sarah Born and junior Kelly Halacka.

    Sarah is from Hingham, MA, a small suburb south of Boston. She is a biochemistry maor with a biology minor. Sarah works at the Cleveland Clinic doing immunology research for multiple sclerosis. She also works for the Undergraduate Admissions office as an intern, where she interviews perspective CWRU students and helps with programming. Sarah is currently pledge mom and on the personnel board in Sigma Psi, and has held the offices of Philanthropy Chair, Recording Scribe, Alumnae Relations, and President. Sarah is in the process of applying to graduate schools. She hopes to go on to get her Ph.D. in immunology and work in the biotechnology field, eventually teaching at the university level some day.

    Kelly is from Bloomfield Hills, MI. She is studying Biomedical Engineering and her minor is in English. Currently, she holds a position on Personnel Board for Sigma Psi and past offices include Scholarship Chair and co-Intramural Representative. As the Scholarship Chair, Kelly organized all the files that had been accumulating in the scholarship room and made the room usable for the sisters. Kelly is also active with the Society of Women Engineers, the Biomedical Engineering Society, and served on the board of her residence hall last year. She also studies piano at the Cleveland Institute of Music. Kelly is not sure what she will do in the future, but will most likely go on to graduate school and then work in the industry.

    Mr. CWRU -By Beth Spencer '03
    On November 4th, the 22nd Mr. CWRU went from dream to successful reality. There were 11 contestants, each more impressive than the rest. Finalist Asim Haque, from Hitchcock maintained a "ladies man" theme throughout the contest offering flowers, "wine", and then condoms, only to have his escort, active Beth Spencer, throw the wine in his face. During the talent portion of the competition he received many laughs and delighted the audience with a surprise visit from "Jonny Disco," last year's first runner up, during his call-in show. TJ Salerno entered as Fred Flintstone, removed at least 4 layers of swimsuits during beachwear, and caused the entire audience to melt by lavaliering his escort and girlfriend active Wendy Adkins during formalwear! Wayne Miller, from Phi Kappa Theta, also won the audience's heart by singing a song to his mother (who was present as it was Parent's Weekend).

    The winners of this year's Mr. CWRU were:

  • Mr. Congeniality: Doug Oesterlin
  • Mr. Photogenic: TJ Salerno
  • Mr. Macho: Bill Darnieder
  • 2nd runner-up: Wayne Miller
  • 1st runner-up: TJ Salerno
  • Mr. CWRU: Bill Darnieder

    The proceeds from this year's event went to the Children's Miracle Network.

    Piano for the Sorority House -By Kelly Halacka '02
    After trying hard for two semesters to obtain a piano for Sigma Psi, I was finally able to find one through the help of one of our alumnae, Ms. Marcia Snavely '58. Not only was Marcia able to help me find a piano, but the piano was donated by a local community center, reducing the costs substantially. The piano is a baby grand and is in good condition- it has made its home in the lobby of our house. I arranged for it to be tuned and it seems to be holding up fairly well. Many sisters have commented on how pleasant it is to walk into the lobby to the sound of a sister playing a tune.

    Marcia and I are hoping to have a plaque made to put on the piano in memory of alumna Susan Hansen (Fisher) '58 who recently passed away. Like Marcia and I, she too shared a passion for music. I am also hoping to arrange for a donation to be made on behalf of Sigma Psi to the community center that donated the piano to us. The sisters of Sigma Psi want to extend a warm thank you to Marcia for helping us obtain a piano for the house. Stop by anytime to check it out - we would love to have you!

    Fall Rush and Pledging -By Cheryl Wozniak '00
    For the second year, formal rush was held in the fall. There were four parties this year. The first party was a jungle theme, with everyone wearing letters made by one of the actives, using animal print fabric. The second was a philanthropy party, something new to formal rush. The actives and rushees decorated and filled bags for a local women's shelter. The third centered around a night on the town and was highlighted by a slide show of sisters, events, and places important to Sigma Psi. Lastly, there was the winter wonderland party which ended with a ritual similar to Fire & Ice.

    Of the 11 girls (quota) from formal rush, 8 are currently in the pledge program while the other 3 have deffered to the spring. In addition, two ladies were given bids in informal rush- one pledged and the second deffered. The pledges are the majority of the way through the pledge program, and will participate in Sig Experience on December 9.

    History Question
    Question: Kay Print Janney '59 has a question for everyone- she was wondering what has happened to Stunt Night. She writes, "That annual musical theatre creation (Stunt Night), plus the guys' Greek Week show, and, to a smaller extent the annual May Day event, were so positive and important to us at the time." Kay, June Raufman Yanick '60, and their husbands each agree that a whole lot of people skills, as well as musical and theatrical skills, were honed during those three "major" events. She also adds that while these events cut through Greek and other affiliations to bring an entire class together, in the late '50s the SIG sisters were strongly "in charge" of such events.

    Answer: Part of the answer to Kay's question is that the Stunt Night and May Day event are no longer held on campus. The Greek Week skits still are, with both the fraternities and sororities participating. If anyone could give extra insight into when the other two traditions were set aside, Kay would appreciate it, and others would love to hear all about it!

    Susan G. Hansen, 63, made arts accessible
    Plain Dealer
          HUDSON - Susan G. Hansen, 63, executive director of the Case Barlow Farm Inc., collapsed with what appeared to be a heart attack and died at her home in Hudson Feb. 28. Autopsy results are pending.
          Mrs. Hansen helped organize the 200 charter members of the citizens organization which raised money to buy the Case Barlow bicentennial farm for the purpose of creating a cultural and educational center. She envisioned using the barn, which is one of the most photographed structures in Hudson, for summer concerts, theater events, art education and other activities.
          Making the arts more accessible to the community was her mission for many years. Mrs. Hansen, who earned a master’s degree in fine arts management from the University of Akron in the late 1980s, helped start the Cleveland Orchestra’s Serendipity Sunday family programs at Blossom Music Center and headed the Cleveland Ballet’s early education programs.
          In 1988, she produced an educational television program called "Once Upon an Orchestra," featuring a group of mimes performing to the Akron Symphony’s rendition of Mathias Bamert’s composition. It won several awards, including an Emmy and the Sears Award, according to Russell F. Hansen, her husband of 40 years.
          Mrs. Hansen also developed a three-part film series titled "Meet an Orchestra Musician," which introduced elementary school students to symphony orchestras.
    She was a founding member and past trustee of the Cleveland Opera. In the early 1990s, she was director of the Chagrin Valley Arts Center. She ran a small arts management services business called Arts Serve since 1986.
          "She just wasn’t happy unless she was seeking the giant self in herself," her husband said. "She’s always had the interest in the arts and to do something of significance. And, by George, on a small scale, that’s just what she’s done."
          Mrs. Hansen, whose given name was Suzanne Fisher, was born in York, PA, and grew up in the Pittsburgh area. She came to Cleveland in 1953 to attend Flora Stone Mather College of Western Reserve University.
          While studying in the college’s medical technology program, she volunteered at Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital. After graduating in 1958, she worked as a medical technologist at University Hospitals for a year before moving to East Lansing, MI, and worked as a laboratory supervisor at Ingham County Hospital.
          In 1962, Mrs. Hansen returned to Cleveland and took a position at Hillcrest Hospital in Mayfield Heights. Six years later, she moved to Hudson. She worked at the Cuyahoga Falls General Hospital from the late 1960s until the mid-1970s.
          Besides her husband, she is survived by a daughter, Kristen Patterson of Beltsville, MD; sons, Russell C. of Malibu, CA, and Jason A. of Stow; her mother, Louise Smith of Sun City, AZ; three grandchildren; and two brothers.
          Memorial services will be held at 7:30 p.m. today in the chapel at Western Reserve Academy, 115 College St., Hudson 44236.
          Donations may be made to the Case Barlow Bicentennial Farm, in care of Russell Hansen, at the academy.
          Arrangements are by the Johnson-Romito Funeral Home of Hudson.

         Meanwhile, the Ballard Institute and Museum of Puppetry, for which I’ve been chair of the Board of Trustees since 1995, is burgeoning. Check out our website: http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~wwwsfa/bimp

They're very happy in Toledo, although there's not quite as many interesting things to do there vs. Cleveland. They live in a very quiet family area- the dog loves to have a backyard to play in!!
