Our Shining Star

Our Shining Star

PLPAA Alumnae Achievement Award recognizes alumnae who have gone above and beyond to assist their Sisters. Each year this award is given to deserving Sister(s) at our Annual Meeting in June during Reunion Weekend. This year’s recipients were Susan Shanahan and Beth Rapple for their yearlong efforts of spearheading our Pledge Survival Basket program.
As many sisters have helped donate generously, both money, gift cards and special goodies and gifts for the actives and pledges these two sisters amidst their busy lives take time out to pull it all together, purchasing and assembling baskets and delivering them to Oswego during pledging. These two sisters have given so much of themselves to Phi Lamb and are definitely this year’s Shining Stars!

First Annual Lamb Drive

Our first Annual Lamb Drive was a huge success as Sisters Emily Cohill and Susan Davis Kassal spearheaded this community service event. Unveiled at our Luncheon sisters all brought lambs including ones that were shipped from sisters who could not attend. The Lambs were all donated to the Golisano Children’s Hospital in Syracuse.

Reunion Recap

Reunion Recap

June 5th thru June 7th Phi Lambda Phi Sisters gathered in Oswego for our 56th reunion. The weekend was an amazing success as over 60 alumni and 9 actives spent the weekend reminiscing and sharing stories of their days as active sisters in Phi Lambda Phi as well as meeting sisters from other era as well as the actives and making new memories.
One thing is certainly for sure, time transcends no boundaries and for many of us it seemed like just yesterday we were all together as young women in Phi Lamb.

Festivities included a Meet n Greet Happy hour at the Press Box on Friday afternoon. Sisters enjoyed cocktails small bites and greeting sisters as they arrived in Oswego.
After the Meet n Greet as many sisters continued to arrive in Oswego. Sisters started the check in at Hart Hall where many shared rooms on 5th floor. The festivities continued with a wonderful BBQ shared by many at Fallbrook followed by an evening of singing, dancing and fun with many alumni and active sisters participating.

Fallbrook Come As You Are BBQ

Our Annual meeting and luncheon followed on Saturday at Bistro 197. Our 2015 reunion committee of Kathy Henry Powell, AC Marcellino, and Linda Kimball did an amazing job securing this beautiful venue, where a wonderful afternoon was had by all.

At our meeting the new PLPAA Tiered membership program was reviewed as well as the state of the sorority, finances, our suggested amendments to the PLPAA Constitution and Sisters running for the 2015-2016 PLPAA Board. Our Historian Amanda Pendock asked for help with any memorabilia, Big / Little Sister updates and family tree information for her Tree Project.

Following our meeting sisters continued in a sing off by year, and of course, our Lamb Mascot Carla Speranza entertaining us in a rendition of Flaming Lambies!!!
