Phi Lamb Welcomes 4 New Sisters, Alumnae Dinner and More Active Sister Updates.

Posted on by Michelle Klinger-Wellner

Over the last few years we have initiated many Alumnae – Active programs to strengthen the bonds between Sisters during pledging. We are proud to say that relations between the Alumnae and Actives has never been better. This is a result of the outreach and work the PLPAA has done with the actives; as well as the actives’ openness to reach out to the PLPAA for guidance and support both emotionally and financially. We are so fortunate on both sides that we have such respect and admiration for each other.

On October 30th Phi Lambda Phi welcomed four new sisters. Under the guidance of Fall 15 Pledge Mistress Ketsia Mari this semester we added 4 sisters to our sorority who are all excited to carry on the traditions of our Pearls and continue to grow Phi Lambda Phi.
Pledging for approximately 6 weeks we are very proud of these young ladies and welcome them to our Sisterhood. Brittany Androsko , Sophie Theis, Sierra Kaufman and Leeza Kramer. Many local Alum have met these young ladies and they are so pleased with the qualities these young women possess!

2015 PLPAA Scholarship

Posted on by Michelle Klinger-Wellner

Congratulations to Ketsia Rodriguez, recipient of the 2015 PLPAA Scholarship!! A dedicated and deserving sister, Ketsia has been vital to the active sorority and to continuing their strong relationship with alumnae. The PLPAA is very proud that she is the first recipient of what we hope to make an annual award.
Ketsia posted a lovely thank you in the Phi Lamb Chat Room.
“Trying to find the words to say how thankful and honored I am to have been chosen to receive the PLPAA scholarship is nearly impossible. My journey as a sister has been filled with so many amazing people and I am so glad I joined this sisterhood. Thank you everyone! Love in Phi Lamb, Ketsia
We thank Ketsia for her gift of Sisterhood, her hard work, her dedication to teaching the traditions of the sorority as Pledge Mistress and guidance and support to other younger sisters during her years at Oswego.
As Ketsia completes her undergraduate degree at Oswego, we at the PLPAA wish her much success in her post graduate studies which we are happy to say, she is continuing and staying on as an active Sister in Oswego!!

2016 Sunshine State Reunion

2016 Sunshine State Reunion

Posted on by Michelle Klinger-Wellner

SAVE THE DATE
February 5th thru 7th, 2016

The PLPAA Sunshine Committee has started planning our 2016 reunion in the Sunshine State. Based on last year’s successful reunion we look forward to seeing you and additional sisters at this year’s festivities.
We hope as many of you as possible will be joining in for this fun packed weekend in the sun. We are planning a gathering centrally located between SE and SW coasts just off Alligator alley in the area of Weston, Florida. Weston is conveniently located off all major highways and 30 minutes from the FLL Hollywood airport.

Allegiant is a low cost airline which flies from upstate NY to Ft. Lauderdale, WPB and Tampa, Florida. Several upstate NY Alumni will fly down and carpools can be arranged to Weston.

We have set up a block of rooms at the Marriot Courtyard in Weston. Rooms are approximately $200 per night for a room with 2 double beds.

We are planning a luncheon on Saturday from 12:00 to 3:00 pm at the Prime Time Restaurant in Weston Town Center. Cost of the luncheon will be approximately $30 pp. We have secured a private area within the restaurant conducive to sisters mingling along with our own private outdoor space and bar area. Menu includes passed appetizers and a buffet luncheon of a variety of fresh salads, fat breads and finger foods. Friday evening we will be coordinating a Happy hour at one of the local pubs as well as a farewell brunch on Sunday.

Please let us know if you will be attending and if it will be for the Saturday event only or the entire weekend. Please send your reply to one of the email addresses below. Further details will be in the next issue of the Phi Times as well as on the PLPAA FB page. As always please pass on to any sisters both Florida residents as well as any Sister who wants to travel south to join the fun that may not be on our FB group or not receiving this newsletter!

We look forward to hearing from you!
