To the Graduating Class of 2009,
Receiving this book marks your final year at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. As a freshman,
I remember people telling me how fast it was going to fly by — I never believed them. Four years later,
a lifetime worth of memories, and friends that will last a lifetime, it is time to say good-bye to UMD and
hello to a new chapter of our lives.
These are the times you are going to look back on, and reminisce being the best years of your life. You
will remember the times you spent studying until 2AM and skipping class to get a few extra hours of
sleep. The times you made the Dean's list and the look on your proud parents' face. The times spent in
student organization meetings or playing on Cressy field. The times partying on Thirsty Thursday and
nights spent with Captain Morgan and Smirnoff.
Many lessons have been learned; bad decisions have been made, along with good ones. Whatever
you take from your experience here did not necessarily come from a lecture, a classroom, or even during
a teacher's office hours. It might have come to you in the most unexpected place, like a friend's apart-
ment, during a drunken heart to heart, or in a fight with a roommate. It is these people who made you
the person you are, the ones who helped your college life be such a success. These are the moments
that change your outlook on life. The bonds created during your years here are life-long.
What happens now is unpredictable and unknown. The future holds so many possibilities. Embrace
each and every new experience, because with each experience comes self-discovery. We have all cer-
tainly gone through many changes since freshman year. Whether these changes are subtle or evident,
they are what help you realize who you truly are and who you want to be. This book is a reflection
of your success here, so that in years to come, you can look back on all these unforgettable memories.
The best of luck to all and congratulations!
Sincerely,
Soraya Jonet-Branco

Behind these walls our lives were controlled by structure. Whether it was
family responsibilities, due dates, deadlines, or social time — our lives were
molded around our environment. Our curriculum structured our career paths,
our classrooms facilitated learning, and our minds developed goals to attain.
Behind these walls the different elements of UMD made us who we are
today and developed our current paths. Whether it was the classes that
developed our skills, or the schedules that we worked around so perfectly,
structure was the basis for our careers, failures, and success while here.
Behind these walls we all learned how to pull strings, make excuses, de-
velop our skills, and make lifelong friends. We were provided with structure
and support to guide us, and in turn we will provide these motivators to
others in the future.
Behind these walls UMD was not just a school, it was a time line, a goal,
an accomplishment, and most importantly a way of life.

The truth behind the staircases, tunnels, and those stories you've heard
Scrimshaw 2009
14115
After all the time you spent at UMD, you might
think you've learned all there is to know about
the campus, but unless you've heard of a man
named Paul Rudolph you don't know the half of
it. Over the years, students have passed along
the myths and legends of UMD from one class
to the next. But ever wonder what was fact and
what was fiction?
Among the crazy stories is the tale of Rudolph,
the supposed Satanist architect, who designed
the structure of the campus and its buildings.
Rumor has it that he committed suicide by jump-
ing from the bell tower, but in fact it was cancer
that took his life in 1997. While it is said that
an overhead view of the campus will reveal
that the buildings create a pentagram, this is
about as true as the story of the suicidal archi-
tect. There is no pentagon visible from above,
and contrary to popular belief, the benches
were not made to represent the number 666,
but rather seashells.
As for those of you who've ever seen A Clock-
work Orange and believe the school's architec-
ture was designed after the mental institution
in the film — it's not. The buildings were actu-
ally based on the style known as Brutalism,
which usually consists of striking, repetitive,
angular geometries.
Rudolph wanted to distinguish the campus
from the outside world, while still providing
a social environment. One thing you might have
noticed while walking around campus is the
relatively narrow stairs, which were apparently
created in order to slow people down and
allow them to appreciate the campus. Also,
the concrete and large windows add to the feel-
ing of being outdoors while remaining inside.
Because a state educational television network
was originally planned for the campus, it required
a walk able network of underground tunnels for
coaxial cable. These tunnels are said to connect
the freshman buildings to the academic ones,
which just may have come in handy when you
had braved the rain, sleet, and snow to make
it to class.
Night Life
Relieving the stress of college at the local hot spots

Year after year Thirsty Thursday was the one
night of the week every college student acknowl-
edged. It was an excuse to celebrate the ap-
proaching weekend, relieve the stress of school
work and have an amazing time. The moment
classes were out it was time to contact all
your friends and answer the night's toughest
question, Where should we party?
Luckily if you were 21 or had a decent fake ID
you would be going to one of the nearby bars
or clubs. Bar 908, The Catwalk and Jakes were
some memorable places to attend. Waiting in
line was unbearable, but once the bouncer gave
you the ok to go on in, it was time to turn your
frown upside down.
Students frantically made there way to the bar
and immediately made eye contact with the
bartenders hoping to get served right away. With
a drink in one hand, it was time to scope out the
room and greet all of your friends. Who knows
who you were going to run into, but you were
guaranteed to see old acquaintances and even
make some new friends.
Early in the night, most people would socialize
and casually watch a sports game. However, as
the hours passed and a few more drinks were
finished, the blaring music of the bar simply be-
came irresistible. All those who say they couldn't
dance were letting loose and grooving to the hyp-
notic sounds. People were socializing and having
fun. Others were working up the confidence to
get someone's phone number or buy them a drink.
Students snapped back to reality once the main
lights turned on. Is it really necessary for me to
go to class tomorrow and can I afford one more
absence crossed many minds during the cab
ride home. Nevertheless, there was no denying
the excitement and memories of a bar night.
Any troubles or concerns simply faded away
when you were surrounded by friends in one
of these hotspots. Fortunately for students, the
next morning meant it was Friday and one step
closer to the weekend.

UMD and the South Coast
The UMass neighborhood offers more than meets the eye

Trapped in a small dorm room or a concrete
classroom, life within of Ring Road can seem
restless and monotonous. However, undergrads
need only travel short distances to explore the
many options and opportunities offered by
Southeastern Massachusetts. Though UMass
is located in a suburban setting, the area can
quell any students' shopping, entertainment,
or eating desires.
Simply driving down Route 6, restaurants close
to campus range from quick bites to casual and
cozy atmospheres. Cheap and convenient favor-
ites such as Mirasol's famous for their quesadil-
las and Chippis, Not Your Average Joe's brings
customers to the table with their addictive bread,
and Wasabi's infamous scorpion bowls were
perfect for a night out. Those willing to spend
an extra ten minutes will find a wealth of great
places in New Bedford. Antonio's offers heaping
portions of authentic Portuguese food, while
No Problemo serves up unbeatable Mexican fare
in a cozy and comfortable setting.
Minutes away from No Problemo are two
alternative options for shopping in New Bed-
ford. Both Calico and Circa Vintage Wear
are changing the way that people think about
shopping in the South Coast. Though the Dart-
mouth Mall is perfect for the everyday items
at chains such as Old Navy and Express, both
stores provide unique and reasonably priced
items without making the trip elsewhere.
Also nearby is the New Bedford Whaling Mu-
seum where full-size whale skeletons hang from
the ceiling of the immaculately kept, modern
building where entertaining events and interest-
ing exhibits are held regularly. Another historical
must-see is the Lizzie Borden House in Fall River
containing a Bed and Breakfast along with a
museum. For less creepy endeavors, Carabiner's
Indoor Climbing contains a giant rock-climbing
wall that is both challenging and entertaining.
Closer to campus, Flagship Cinemas plays the
latest comedies and dramas, regularly offering
student discounts.
Though students can find all the aforemention-
ed hotspots indoors, nature lovers will also be
pleased to find outdoor havens on the South
Coast as well. Buttonwood Park is the home
to large fields where locals can be seen strolling
and jogging at all times of day along with the
Buttonwood Park Zoo which houses everything
from iguanas to elephants. Sunbathers and
swimmers seeking solace and sun can visit both
Horseneck Beach in Westport and West Island
in Fairhaven for a quick dip in the Atlantic.
With all these alternatives, it's difficult to
understand taking the half hour drive to Provi-
dence or hour trek to Boston. When searching
for fun on the South Coast, the answer is just
a few steps away.

Move-In Weekend
Farewells, fresh starts, and a lot of heavy lifting
Alicia Petitti photographer
Courtney Nunes writer
Scrimshaw 2009
24125
It was the day you had been waiting for all
summer, the day when you said goodbye to
structure and control and hello to independence.
Little did you know that day would consist of
waiting around for hours in the school's parking
lots and emptying your life's possessions onto
the sidewalk.
Every year, move-in weekend offered students
a fresh start to a new school year as thousands
poured onto campus enlivening an otherwise
ghost-like community. It began with students
unpacking their things from the backs of hastily
parked cars, and ended in tearful farewells
to family and friends.
As cars began pulling in, anxious students
and parents littered the ground with boxes
and bins packed with books, shoes, pillows,
and video games. Calls of watch outand
excuse me rang throughout the halls of the
dorms as movers hauled televisions and
refrigerators up the narrow staircases. Stu-
dents wormed their way into the last possible
elevator spots as they struggled with arms
full of overflowing boxes of clothes, toilet paper,
and shampoo.
After hours of lugging around boxes and count-
less trips back and forth to your dorm, it was
time to say goodbye. As you insisted to your
parents that you had everything you needed
and that you would be fine, you knew you could
still expect that phone call a few hours later
from a worried mom or dad making sure that
everything was okay.
While new students entered the worn down
freshman halls, upperclassmen looked forward
to residing in the Woodland Apartments and
Cedar Dell. For freshman, move-in weekend
marked the beginning of discovery, challenges,
and fun. For the first time, they would exper-
ience the excitement of late night parties and
the tedious chores that went along with inde-
pendence. Sophomores and juniors anticipated
returning to life as they had left it just one
year earlier, and meeting up with old friends
and new roommates. But for seniors, it be-
gan the end of the ride, as they would relive
all the fun and craziness for one last time.
UMD Goes Green
Students and staff lead the way to a greener future
Erica Keenan photographer
Courtney Nunes writer
With all the talk about global warming, resource consumption, and the ever-increasing accumulation
of garbage, UMass Dartmouth decided to join America in its national effort to go green in the fall
of 2008.
By signing the American College & University Presidents Climate Commitment, Chancellor Jean F.
MacCormack agreed to enact campus efforts to become carbon neutral in the spring of 2007. Then,
the Greater New Bedford Refuse District and the Town of Dartmouth helped fund the purchasing of an
estimated $20,000 worth of recycling bins.
One of the major changes you probably noticed was how far recycling had come over the past year,
as blue receptacles marked for specific content were placed everywhere from the Campus Center
to the classrooms.
Housing Facilities Operations and Services also stepped up in instituting a pilot program in all residence
halls for single stream recycling. Every dorm room was supplied with a blue tote bag for recyclables,
and the freshman quad eliminated indoor trash cans completely. Allowing students to throw everything
into the same bin without any sorting made recycling as simple as possible, in the hopes that more
students would contribute to the effort.
Incorporated into the program, Campus Dining Services had also taken strides in sustainability.
A new policy was enacted in which all pre-consumed food preparation waste was saved up to be
sent to local farms to use as fertilizer compost. While Campus Dining Services also took part
in daily recycling of cans, bottles, and plastic, the Commuter Cafe offered reusable eco-clamshells
for takeout food and optioned to use chinaware during lunch to reduce waste.
Efforts in reducing paper waste were increased as the Carney Library launched a new print solution,
which affected anyone printing from the CITS labs. This saved a lot of paper as an average of 800 sheets
were printed daily, yet.never picked up.
While the university made great strides in promoting waste reduction, students and staff have gone
the extra mile in contributing to help save the planet.

Trojan Comedy Tour
Learning the importance of safe sex through humor

Scrimshaw 2009

Trojan Condoms has started a campus wide tour
to motivate Americans to change their ways
and start being safe when it comes to sex.
Sexual heath is extremely important and many
college students have not taken an active role
in the decisions they make when it comes
to their sex lives. Some students have assumed
the view that certain things cannot happen
to them. The truth is that anyone can be infected
with an STD or HIV and it is essential to take
precautionary measures.
On September 24, 2008 the Trojan team came
to campus to create awareness and get students
more interested in their sexual well-being. One
feature of this campus tour was a virtual roller
coaster ride. Students lined up to view a short
three minute film on the importance of condoms.
Watching the movie on an omni screen, viewers
actually felt like they were experiencing the
motions of a roller coaster. People enjoyed
this amusing mini-ride and also learned statistics
of the risks involved with unprotected sex.
Students also participated in trivia contests and
won prizes based on their knowledge of STDs and
other shocking statistics. Many considered the
contests just about fun and games, but it was
also a reality slap for others. Learning the outra-
geous truths made students rethink some of
their past choices and hopefully created a new
mind set with this gained knowledge.
The day of awareness continued into the night
with a hilarious comedy show. Comedians Jordan
Carlos, Julian McCullough and Steve Byrne were
featured for this event. The comedians per-
formed their acts and featured special jokes that
reminded students the importance of taking care
of their bodies. The jokes enabled listeners to
comprehend appropriate sexual well-being in
a humorous way.
The day's events and unique approach really
impacted students. Learning how easily people
can be infected definitely made students think
twice about not using a condom. It is your
body and it is important to take care of it. Why
let one bad judgment ruin your entire life?
SAIL Weekend Events
Working to create a closer community through music and laughter

On Saturday mornings the UMD campus used
to look like a ghost town. The empty parking
lots and quiet atmosphere was uncanny to see
in comparison to the lively commotion of the
school week. Even though UMD had about 4,500
students who reside on campus, many chose
to go home on the weekends for various reasons.
SAIL took notice of this occurrence and decided to
implement a change to make staying on campus
during the weekends more intriguing to students.
The fall 2008 semester was the start of instituting
these new programs and events. The first of
many SAIL events were the Concert Series in the
Woodland Commons. Talented local singers and
musicians would come to campus to perform and
relate to students. It was a time to relax with
friends and enjoy the pleasant sounds of a num-
ber of unique musicians. The visitors were very
friendly and took time to speak with students
about their careers and how they write lyrics.
SAIL was also in charge of spreading the word
of important events occurring on campus. Every
year Sigma Phi Rho would host the AIDS benefit
to teach others about worldly issues that were
overlooked by students. The UMD Theatre Com-
pany also created a number of shows for stu-
dents to attend on the weekend. They performed
various plays like the Rocky Horror Picture Show
and their own personal productions. These shows
provided entertainment and a bonding experience
with roommates and new friends on campus.
Activities for friends and family to partake
in were also developed. Friends interested in
video games participated in a number of SAIL
competitions to show off their skills. In addition,
October 3-5 was Family and Friends Weekend.
Being away from home for so long, parents were
able to finally see what life was like for their
children and diminished any homesick feelings.
Exciting activities also occurred off campus.
Trips were arranged to King Richards Fair
and a tour of NYC. Both events were extremely
popular and succeeded in keeping students
on campus. Students had a safe way to spend
their weekends enjoying life and view his-
torical monuments.
The great thing about the events created was
that there was something for everyone. SAIL's
institution of weekend activities proved to be
a tremendous way to come together and share
common interests; enabling weekends at UMD
to become less of a ghost town and more of a
thriving community.
Family and Friends Weekend
Bringing the whole family together through food and entertaining activities

College was the first time for many students
to finally get the chance to live on their own.
Dealing with this newly discovered freedom
and stimulating life became addicting. How-
ever, even though most would hate to admit
it, memories of home came to mind every now
and then. Luckily for us, on the first weekend
of October, SAIL hosted the Friends and Family
Weekend. This was an opportunity for students
to get reacquainted with their loved ones and
show them their new interesting lives at UMD.
The day was kicked off with a delicious break-
fast in the Campus Center where parents,
students and siblings reunited. Parents intently
listened and shared stories about intriguing
experiences. Faculty mingled with family mem-
bers and enlightened them about the new pro-
grams in the curriculum.
Parents took a tour of the campus, visiting dor-
mitories and then the academic buildings, where
they got to see exactly what a typical day was
like for students on campus. They also viewed
outstanding artwork and listened to brief lectures
highlighting all the different undergraduate
programs on campus.
The weekend events were also about having
fun with all your family members. Younger
brothers and sisters enjoyed three legged races,
venturing the rock climbing wall and bounc-
ing around on moonwalks. Families spent time
together attending the Corsair sporting events,
cheering on the hardworking UMD players.
Students took time out with their families to
show them all the city attractions that created
a buzz outside of campus.
Parents enjoyed exploring the campus where
they could attend interesting sessions about
student development and finance. They also
could purchase various paintings created by
UMD students.
At the end of the day, families said their good-
byes, but the weekend events were a success.
Parents enjoyed sharing the school experience
with their son or daughter, while alleviating
any homesick feelings.
Homecoming
Relive the UMD excitement each and every year

Danielle Santoro writer
Homecoming Week was always jam-packed
with activities, pumping up the school for the
big game on the weekend. It was a wonder-
ful way to celebrate school spirit and it marked
a special time to spend with family, friends
and alumni. Students got to see old friends and
shared memories while watching a thrilling
football game.
An autumn vibe was created early in the week.
In the campus quad, students were greeted
with musical performances and handed cups of
popcorn and cider. They also enjoyed the pump-
kin give-away, which most students could not
wait to bring back to their dorms to carve into a
jack-o-lantern. It wouldn't be fall without a little
football either. The Greek organizations played
in an aggressive Powder Puff game showing off
their passion for their sororities and fraternities.
Game day started with a parade around Ring
Road. Onlookers became more enthused as
they heard the roaring bellows coming around
the corner. The UMD organizations traveled
on exceptionally decorated floats across campus
as they cheered in anticipation of the game
later that day.
The atmosphere was filled with excitement as
classmates ran into old friends. Goodie bags
filled with UMD memorabilia were given out
to all those who bought tickets. Others enjoyed
a little day drinking and used their tickets to
grab a few drinks at the beer truck, which was
the social area for most students.
During the game, the crowd was on their feet
the entire time showing their support for the
Corsairs. At half time, the 2008 king and queen
were crowned. Doug Woodhouse and Shelagh
Frossard earned the majority of the votes and
wore their well deserved crowns with pride.
The second half of the game was just as exciting,
ending in a Corsair victory, and leaving many
memories for years to come.

7th Annual Aids Benefit
Coming together to improve the quality of life in the community

On October 18, 2008 the Brothers of Sigma Phi
Rho Fraternity and Rho Roses continued their
tradition, as they held the 7th Annual AIDS Ben-
efit. The annual benefit is held in an effort
to promote HIV/AIDS awareness and to relay
the importance of AIDS prevention.
Guest speaker, Daniel Scanlan from the AIDS
Action Committee spoke to a packed auditorium
not only about how to prevent the epidemic from
spreading, but also how to optimize the health
of those already infected. Scanlan also reminded
the crowd that AIDS is a deadly disease without
a cure and that it affects all of our communities:
straight, gay, white, black.
While Scanlan provided the crowd with the
information they needed about HIV/AIDS, host
Kevin Brown of NBC's 30 Rock and former brother
of Sigma Phi Rho took care of the entertainment
for the night with constant audience interaction.
It's very exciting to come here each year, said
Brown. / pledged to this fraternity some 22 years
ago, before these young men were even born.
To see my young brothers carry on this tradition
is like watching my kids grow up.
Brown kept the energy moving throughout
the show with comedy that had the audience
laughing out loud, while still warning every-
one of the dangers of AIDS. He urged the crowd
to get tested and even pulled his own test
results from his pocket to hold up to the audi-
ence.
Throughout the evening UMD students took
part in the show through a mixture of vocals,
raps, dances, and other forms of expressive
art. The crowd was awed by the many multi-
cultural performances which focused on hope,
nobility, and respect.
Towards the end of the night Sigma Phi Rho's
step team closed the show with a performance
on stage. The audience was enlivened as the
rest of the brothers jumped up onto the stage
as the song Swagger like Us blared through
the speakers.
Comedian, Donnell /4s/7y/.a/yyRawlings, from
The Chappelle Show gave the crowd a few
more laughs before the much anticipated
after party. The night proved to be a success
as everyone enjoyed their time with friends
after coming together to recognize a major
issue that affects our community.
U M D Votes
Patrick Kadlik photographer
Courtney Nunes writer
Young voters step up and make history in deciding America's future
Most college students usually got their dose of politics by checking in with guys like John Stewart
on The Daily Showor by catching reenactments of the candidates on Saturday Night Live; but in 2008
more and more were tuning in to the real thing.
While presidential nominees Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) and Senator John McCain (R-AZ) hit the
campaign trails, student organizations launched a campus-wide, non-partisan effort to encourage the
university's 9,300 students to participate in the 2008 state and federal elections.
Through the combined efforts of the Student Senate, Office of the Student Trustee, MASSPIRG, SAIL,
student Democrat and Republican organizations, and a few others, over 1,500 new voters were regis-
tered during this two-week period.
In anticipation of the election, a series of speakers were invited to campus, including the first female
governor of Vermont, Madeleine Kunin, along with political satirist, Jimmy Tingle. Debate watching
events, a voter registration drive, and absentee ballot assistance were also set up, prompting students
to get out their vote. MASSPIRG took a step further in its New Voters Project^ organizing class an-
nouncements and dorm storms, in which they went door to door spreading the word about registration.
For those who did make their voices heard on Election Day, shuttle services were provided from campus
to local polling places, where thousands turned out to cast their vote.
The real impact of the election hit campus when Barack Obama was elected the first African American
President of the United States. Following the announcement of Obama's victory a celebratory march
made its way across campus. Chants of Obama! Obama! and Yes we did! along with the victorious
beat of drums could be heard as students rejoiced in their hopes for the future.
Many newscasters all over the nation stated that this election was about the new voters. For the first
time college students really made their voices heard and made others listen to what they had to say;
UMass Dartmouth students were a part of this historic moment and should be proud of making 2008 the
year of change.

After a record breaking 41st season, the UMass
Dartmouth Theatre Company received a standing
ovation with its compelling performance of
Dale Wasserman's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's
Nest. The production was directed by Justin
McCoubry and featured a cast of sixteen UMass
Dartmouth undergraduate students including
Jeff Brown, Katie Gregory, Brian Townsend,
and David Meczywor
From November 20th through the 23rd, the Angus
Bailey Jr. Memorial Stage was transformed into
the Oregon State Hospital's Psychiatric Ward.
The show began as audiences were introduced
to the various ward patients, and the admission
of convict Randle Patrick McMurphy (Brown).
With a history of assault and battery, drug use,
and statutory rape, McMurphy had declared him-
self insane in order to serve out his sentence in
a mental institution rather than going to prison.
But McMurphy soon discovered that life at the
asylum was ruled by the domineering Nurse
Ratched (Gregory). Ratched controlled the men
by encouraging them to spy on each other and
participate in group sessions in which they tell
her of each others bad behaviors. At first the
patients believed that Ratched was trying to help
them, but eventually agreed with McMurphy's
assessment of her.
Profane, boisterous, and brawling, McMurphy
caused mayhem for the asylum staff while inspir-
ing the submissive patients. His wise remarks
and shameless attitude caused frequent laughter
throughout the audience.
But the fun and games were put to an end,
when the show shifted to a more serious tone.
The crowd watched intently as they learned
one patient, Billy (Meczywor), had slit his throat
after an incident which Nurse Ratched blamed
on McMurphy.
Tired of dealing with his out of control be-
havior, Nurse Ratched ordered a lobotomy
to be performed on McMurphy. After the surgery,
the ward patients looked down at the loboto-
mized body, wishing McMurphy could come
back to his old self. At the end of the show, one
patient, Chief (Townsend) suffocated him and
escaped the ward, strengthened by McMurphy's
influence. With the final curtain call, members
of the audience got up from their seats and ap-
plauded the cast on their gripping performance
of Ken Kesey's 1962 novel.

As one girl steps down from her throne, another will take the crown
On Thursday, December 4, 2008 nine girls com-
peted, all with one mission: to prove they had
what it takes to be crowned the next Miss UMD.
Hosted by Miss UMD 2007, Shelagh Frossard
and Mr. UMD 2008 Todd Migliacci, the contest
was based on stage presence, talent, formal
wear, and responses to questions related to
life at UMass Dartmouth.
With the music of Rihanna's Disturbia blasting
through the speakers, the contestants kicked off
the night with a dance to a medley of popular
songs, which included When I Grow Up, Woman-
izer, and Swagger Like Us. After pumping up the
crowd, the girls were given a chance to make a
personal appeal to both the audience and judges
by talking about themselves and their involve-
ment on campus.
Up next, was the talent portion, which included
singing, dancing, and even some comedy improv.
After impressing the crowd with a variety
of performances, the girls were then tested with
a little Q&A as they stood in the daunting spot-
light. Following the grilling question and answer
session was the formal wear category. Dressed
to impress, the contestants were escorted across
the stage to show off their stylish gowns.
As the competition came to a close, Capitol Re-
cords recording artist, Ferras, then took the stage
for a special musical performance. At the piano,
he played songs from his album including, Dear
God, Aliens and Rainbows, and Hollywood's Not
America. Inspired by Elton John, Ferras sang Tiny
Danceras the crowd waved their cell phones
in the air, illuminating the darkened auditorium.
Finally, the time had come to announce the
winner. As the contestants lined up, members
of the audience called out to their favorites
as the judges came to an agreement. Miss
UMD 2008 was. . . Valerie Barretto!
The crowd burst into applause as Valerie was
awarded the sash and crown. She graciously
thanked the audience and praised the other
contestants, saying I love every single one of
these girls. They are awesome.
With UMD's queen crowned for another year,
all of the contestants left that night proud to
have taken part in this exciting experience.

After a long winter break, getting back to work
can be a challenge, but Welcome Back Week
provided students with an opportunity for some
Vegas style fun before making their way through
the spring semester.
Festivities began on Monday, January 26th with
Movie Madness Day. From 11 am to 5pm, CAB
had six Vegas style movies playing on the big
screen in the Commuter Cafe to get the hype
going about the upcoming week. Students were
able to kick back and relax as they watched
films such as 21, What Happens in Vegas, and
Ocean's Eleven. CAB also handed out stadium
cups filled with chocolate casino coins as treats
for students to enjoy.
Tuesday was Variety Night, and at 7pm the Main
Auditorium opened up for some live entertain-
ment. UMass Dartmouth's very own Todd Migli-
acci performed fire-eating, along with various
other great magic tricks before mentalist Jonny
Zavant took the stage for his performance.
On Wednesday, comedian Geoff Keith visited
campus, providing students with a break from
studying and a night full of fun. The entire
bottom of the auditorium was filled as Geoff
performed his hilarious act, which had every-
one rolling in their seats with laughter.
For those who had never been to Vegas, CAB
brought some of the excitement and thrill
to UMD on Thursday as the Commuter Cafe
was turned into a casino. During the day, stu-
dents were able to have their picture taken
and super imposed into a postcard that placed
them in various Vegas locations. But the real
fun took place at night, as students were able
to try their luck on the money wheel and in
games of black jack, Texas Hold 'Em, roulette,
and craps.
The week came to a close on Friday night with
a game of BLINGO. The event was so large that
CAB had to relocate from the Commuter Cafe
to the Main Auditorium. After various rounds
of BLINGO, ten winners walked away with prizes
that included an iPod Touch, LCD HD TV, Nintendo
Wii, Guitar Hero World Tour, Blue Man Group
tickets, and a mini laptop.
While the week's events were certainly thrilling,
for once what happened in Vegas didn't have to
stay in Vegas.
Black History Month Ball
Honoring the past inspirational speeches and dancing
Erica Keenan photographer
Danielle Santoro writer
Growing up in this day and age, we had a number of options and opportunities at our fingertips.
The changes that have occurred over the years have allowed us to have new privileges and
offer chances that weren't previously available. During the social movement many developments
had been made in African American Rights. February was a great time to celebrate Black History
as well as remember the great heroes that were involved in the process.
On February 6th, 2009 students and faculty gathered in the Woodland Commons for the 4th annual
Black History Month Ball. Guests entered the Gala in fancy attire and were immediately greeted
by their friends as they checked in. Cocktails and hors d'oeuvres were served as attendants social-
ized, waiting for the event to commence.
Welcome speeches by Renee Lopes-Pocknett and Chancellor Jean F. MacCormack opened the
event. Everyone enjoyed a delicious dinner and glanced towards the slideshow revealing im-
portant figures in history that have made strides for improvements. Guests attentively listened
to the speakers as they spoke about the importance of Black History Month and continuing
to inspire progressive change. The presentations also reflected President Barack Obama's new
seat in office as the first Black President of the United States and a symbol of the hard work
and advancement African Americans had made throughout history.
The night continued by honoring students on campus who have made an impact in the community
at UMass Dartmouth. Four boys and three girls were nominated and they each gave speeches about
why Black History Month was important to them. All guests voted for the most deserving candidates
to be the next King and Queen.
After the King and Queen enjoyed their first dance it was time to party! Everyone put their dancing
shoes on and ran out to the dance floor as the the DJ put on upbeat music that pumped up the entire
crowd. It was a great way to celebrate the hard work put into the event and the contributions made
by the Frederick Douglas Unity House to make the event a success.

Vagina Monologues
Empowering women through humor and philanthropy

The theater, engulfed in man-made fog and
shrouded in pink and purple light, turns dark
as undergrads, parents, and theater-goers hush
anticipating the beginning of the show. For
the next two hours, they will not only be enter-
tained, but also enlightened. Directed by Laura
McHugh and Megan Gauthier (who between
them have six years participating and running
The Vagina Monologues), the show is a collec-
tion of rants, stories, and experiences written
by Eve Ensler.
The cast members of the show have worked
tirelessly to bring to life this seamless produc-
tion and in the end all the hours paid off. The
play highlights various issues dealing with
female sexuality and embroils the topics with
humor and care. In a society where these top-
ics are often swept under the rug and considered
taboo to be talked about in public, The Vagina
Monologues makes no apologies for its upfront
and frank discussions of women's issues today.
In addition to being uproariously funny and
thought provoking, The Vagina Monologues
is also part of V-Day, a global movement that
has raised over $45 million to end domestic
violence against women in the US and develop-
ing nations. Funds have gone towards opening
shelters, launching anti-violence campaigns
and creating safe houses all around the world
for battered women. Through the production
of The Vagina Monologues, actors and audience
members give a voice and outlet to millions
of women that have been silenced through
domestic violence.
This year, the V-Day movement has shined its
spotlight on the Democratic Republic of Congo,
where rape and femicide have been prevalent in
the interstate war. V-Day paired up with UNICEF
to contribute funds from productions of The Va-
gina Monologues to end the prevalence of sexual
and physical violence against women. Proceeds
will go towards raising awareness about rape
in the DRC, advocating for policy making against
this practice, providing support, and specifically
the creation of the City of Joy in Bukava. This es-
tablishment will serve as a refuge for survivors of
Congolese rape and torture and provide training
for strategies in income-generating opportunities
and activism skills.
This activism will only serve to perpetuate
the message of empowerment that is raised by
The Vagina Monologues. For such a production
to also contribute to such generous philanthropy
is just an added bonus to a wonderful play.
Mr. UMD

Mr. UMD showcased the talent of unique individuals on campus
During our college years, we often can remem-
ber going to the auditorium to see interesting
guest speakers, hilarious comedians or amazing
musical performances. The entertainment was
a great way to showcase the talent of success-
ful individuals outside the community. However
what about those of us on the inside? Well, luck-
ily for us an event was created that allowed the
men and women of UMD to display their talent
for their peers.
The spring semester was time to focus on the
UMass men as they volunteered to participate ■
in Mr. UMD. Each individual would display an
exceptional skill and the overall winner would
be crowned and given the prestigious title of
Mr. UMD. It wasn't long before this event had
become a tradition here on campus, gaining
support from students who were eager to join
in on the fun or witness it first hand. Some of the
same participants each year would come back
and try to top their previous performances; doing
something more wild or memorable was a goal
of most of the partakers. The show never got out
of control, but often times resulted in uncontrol-
lable laughter.
Onlookers got to the show early to grab front
row seats. They wanted to be as close to the
entertainment as possible and were eager to
see what would happen this year. The UMD
men slowly went over their performances back
stage before the nerves kicked in. One by one
the performers carried out their talent as the
student's exciting screams and laughter echoed
in the building. The crowd was so astonished
by the individual's performances that they started
chanting their name until they got off the stage.
The rapping styles, dancing skills or other unique
talents kept the show going strong all night.
Students were on their feet as they cheered and
supported their fellow peers. It was entertaining
to watch students be carefree and comfortable
on stage. Crowning the top performer was tough,
but the crowd went crazy when Alex Sinkus was
named Mr. UMD 2009.

Spring Fest
Sometimes all you need is a breath of fresh air

With the snow melted away and the campus'
grayness turned green, UMass Dartmouth
celebrated Spring's arrival with a schedule of
activities that would rejuvenate the campus.
As finals crept closer, Springfest gave students
a chance to de-stress before finishing up the
semester's work.
The week kicked off with some free give-
aways, which included cookies and bubbles,
followed by a late night showing of the
horror film, Friday the 13th. Students hud-
dled together with their friends as the night
grew darker and the scenes scarier.
On Tuesday, the contestants for that night's
Mr. UMD competition ran carnival games
in the campus quad. Throughout the day,
many students relieved some stress by chal-
lenging their friends to games while getting
some fresh air.
At 7pm the auditorium filled up as the Mr.
UMD pageant began. With music blaring and
friends cheering, the show was a great time
to be had. The crowd went wild when Alex
Sinkus was named the winner and given
the crown.
More freebies were handed on Wednesday at
the traditional outdoor barbeque on the campus
patio from 4 to 7pm. While filling their plates
with as much food as possible, students rocked
out to the sound of Barefoot Truth, a New Eng-
land based jam band, influenced by those such
as Dispatch and Guster.
The next night, everyone headed down to
the Commuter Cafe to join their friends in
a battle of Don't Forget the Lyrics! Based on
FOX's popular game show, the contest had
students singing along to a variety of songs,
while challenging them to remember all the
right words.
On Friday, teams of eight people each ran around
campus in a day long scavenger hunt lasting
from 11am to 5pm. Winners received prizes such
as Dunkin Donuts gift cards, UMass Dartmouth
t-shirts, and tickets to a Pawsox game.
The week long festivities continued on Saturday
with inflatables set up on the quad. Students
were able to try out the Robo Surfer, Pedestal
Joust, and Bouncy Boxing along with other fun
and exciting activities.
Springfest concluded later on that afternoon with
a waffle ball tournament that gave students one
last blast of fun before getting back to work for
the final week of the semester.

Ben Allis
Changing UMass Dartmouth one step at a time
Jenna Rodrigues photographer
Danielle Santoro writer
When we look back on our senior year we
often remember all the exciting memories but
also the extensive workload and time con-
suming schedule. However, Ben Allis was not
intimidated by the demanding agenda ahead
and in his final year of school took on the tasks
of Chi Phi President and Greek Coordinator.
Ben transferred to UMD in spring 2007 as
a junior with a sociology major and philosophy
minor. Entering a new school so late was
a scary thought for most students, but Ben
made the most of his situation. He found
his place at UMD by joining Greek Life and
admitted to that being his main reason for
staying. His passion for Greek Life grew as he
participated in community service events and
met amazing people along the way. In no time,
he was elected President of his fraternity and
selected for Greek Coordinator in the fall of 2008.
Ben had many responsibilities; he constantly
communicated with all the other Greek organiza-
tions, developed the latest community service
projects and dealt with any issues that arose. Ad-
ditionally, he worked on developing proposals to
make positive changes to the Greek community.
If that wasn't enough, Ben also held a part time
job at American Eagle, worked at the Reading
and Writing Center on campus, and enjoyed
volunteering. When he had some additional time,
Ben would partake in activities like hiking, surf-
ing or competing in Triathlons, basically anything
to be outdoors.
His hard work and dedication for what he does
helped Ben thrive at school. Being involved in
the community he learned how much he enjoy-
ed helping others and believed it was the best
way to develop the tools needed to succeed in
the future. His main belief is to, Do what makes
you happy because life isn 't worth living if you
aren't happy. Ben intends to work at a non-profit
organization after college and hopes his passion
and drive will assist him in reaching his goals.

Theta Delta Chi
Brothers based on character, sincerity, scholarship, leadership and inner worth
Courtney Nunes writer
Every day on campus, the average student will unquestionably
pass hundreds of undergrads proudly donning their fraternity or sorority's
moniker on t-shirts, sweatpants, and even frisbees. At times, the Greek
letters mix into an indistinguishable blend of sigmas, deltas, and omegas
that, to a casual observer, all look the same. However, at UMass Dart-
mouth, three symbols stand out: 0AX. The brothers of Theta Delta Chi
illustrate their dedication, not only through their outstanding philanthropy,
but also the gregarious and accepting attitude illustrated in the vast
array of its members. Our hearts are united, the frat's official motto, is
more than just a platitude — TDX takes their brotherhood seriously.
For 162 years, Theta Delta Chi has been fostering the development of each
member, intellectually, morally, and socially through friendship. Founded
at Union College in 1847, TDX is the eleventh oldest fraternity in the United
States, but has only just begun to make its mark in Dartmouth. Though
their cause of unifying friends in brotherhood is noble, the historic roots
of the founding of the lota Triton charge is quite unlikely. It all started
back in 2005 while three students sat in their dorm watching National
Lampoon's Van Wilder. Something in the comedy prompted the founding
fathers of lota Triton to get the fraternity up and running within a few
short weeks.
It was an ambitious, time-consuming, and risky endeavor, as creating
a brand newstudent organization is certainly no cakewalk — however,
hundreds of alumni and current members can attest to the worth of their
journey. There is no mystery as to why TDX has quickly become one of
the most popular fraternities on campus. Accepting new members through-
out the entire year rather than the typical rush week, the fraternity puts
no barriers on potential brothers. The group boasts a diverse mix of back-
grounds, interests, and majors that have joined together to form one unit.
In its brief history, Theta Delta Chi lota Triton has also strived to give back
to the South Coast community as well as national charities. These brothers
utilize their mind, body and soul embarking on such fundraising events
as the Polar Plunge. Stripping down to swim trunks, members plunged in-
to the ice-cold waters of Plymouth Beach in the name of Cancer research,
determined to make the event as lucrative, successful, and fun as possi-
ble— frostbite or not! Even local wildlife can attribute their increased well-
being to TDX. By teaming up with MassPIRG, members combed local beaches
and removed long forgotten lobster traps endangering marine life.
Through innovative events and inspiring charity work, Theta Delta Chi
embodies the best in modern Greek life. Their attitude and generosity should
serve as an example to all undergrads on how to make the best of their
years on this campus. To quote from Van Wilder, the movie that started it
all, If you're always thinking about the future, then you kind of forget about
the present. If there is one thing that the members of ©AX do right — it is
ensuring that no moment is wasted.

Chi Phi
Laura Carroll writer
Brothers working towards bettering themselves and the community
A tire, empty containers, cans, pieces of shipping rope and Christmas
tree needles littered the shores of the Fairhaven beaches. It was bad, said
Ben All is. President of Chi Phi Fraternity, There was just a disgusting amount
of trash. We brought what I thought was a lot of bags, but we ended up using
them all within a half hour. People don't recognize what is happening, and it
was just such a shock to me.
Built on the three principles, the brothers of Chi Phi placed great value in
truth, honor and personal integrity. The men sought to better themselves
through lifelong friendships, leadership opportunities, and character de-
velopment. Through taking part in various philanthropy projects, such as
cleaning up Fairhaven beaches, the brothers were able to not only better
themselves, but the community as well.
Chi Phi was originally founded as a national fraternity on December 24, 1 824
at Princeton University, making it the oldest social collegiate fraternity in his-
tory. It wasn't until November 5, 2002 that the fraternity was locally founded,
and in 2004 Chi Phi was affiliated nationally. After receiving its charter, the
UMD colony officially became the Lambda Theta Chapter of the Chi Phi Frater-
nity on October 20, 2006.
Becoming a part of the fraternity gave men the opportunity to strengthen
their social attributes, communication, and academic skills, while displaying
leadership through philanthropy. Chi Phi's national philanthropy was working
with the Boys and Girls Club. The brothers often tutored at the Boys and Girls
Club, contributing to the building of a new playground there. They have also
held raffles in which 1 00 percent of the proceeds benefited the organization.
Another community service project that the fraternity participated in was the
annual Relay for Life walk, where proceeds went to support research to fight
cancer. In the past, Chi Phi has also worked with the Delta Pi Omega sorority,
raising money for the Toys for Tots program. In 2008, approximately $1 ,000
was donated to the program, which helped children in need by sending them
presents during the Christmas season.
Aside from taking part in various philanthropy projects, the men also came
together for different social events. Each year, the brothers tried to schedule
at least one social event with each of the other sororities and fraternities on
campus in order to meet new people.
There was never any hazing within the fraternity, and each of Chi Phi's 35
members was accepting of every sex, creed, and orientation. The group was
diverse and each member brought something unique to the fraternity based
on who they were.
By pledging to the fraternity, each member became a part of a network
of brothers who served as a support system and motivator for each other.
Whether it was cheering for the Corsairs basketball team in the gym,
sprinting across the grass during a game of Ultimate Frisbee, or just hang-
ing out watching a movie on a Sunday night, brotherhood events like these
were what influenced the friendships within the fraternity.
Sigma Phi Rho
Danielle Santoro writer
One of the smallest fraternities on campus that made a huge difference in their community
The extensive list of community service events Sigma Phi Rho participated
in is quite impressive. Nationally, the fraternity donated to the Treatment
on Demand and Family Planning, and locally the brothers volunteered their
We have all seen those wild movies where Greek Life was displayed
as a major party house where the individuals exhibited crazy behaviors
and did nothing but drink alcohol. However you can't always believe the
movies, in reality, Greek Life had so much more to offer and certainly
deserves credit for its generous contributions to society. Sigma Phi Rho
broke the mold of the typical stereotype and was one of the exceptional
organizations on campus that made a difference in the world with their
positive attitudes and openheartedness.
Sigma Phi Rho was founded nationally in 1979 as part of the Mu Chapter.
It was established on the UMD campus in 2002 and was often referred to
as The Rho or Death Rho. The colors of the organization were brown, white
and a hint of gold. All the individuals had diligent qualities and determina-
tion as they lived by the fraternity motto, strong character and good moral
judgment are the essence of dignity. Their constructive behavior and passion
for change helped them accomplish many achievements on and off campus.
time to create awareness. One campus event they
were well known for was hosting the Annual AIDS
Renefit. They had established the tradition of the
AIDS benefit which taught students the importance
of practicing healthy behaviors and understanding
the truth about the AIDS virus. In addition, they also
participated in the Relay for Life to raise money
for the American Cancer Association. Off-campus
they had created a mentoring program for young
male high school students. They shared experiences
from their own lives and the importance of setting
goals. Encouragement was all these young students
needed to motivate them and to teach them to thrive
in the future. The fraternity was always looking for
ways to help the community and better themselves
along the way.
The bonds of brotherhood were just one of the many
great things to rely on in this fraternity. The brother's
faith and trust in each other allowed for any member to always have someone
to turn to for advice and encouragement through hardships. The mutual in-
terests in the members and ability to blend entertainment with charity was
constantly reached with ease. The Rho had a great desire for step dancing
and shared their unique dance moves with others across New England. Their
impressive skills allowed them to turn a fun hobby into a competition and a
way to raise money for charities. Sigma Phi Rho's drive and enthusiasm to
volunteer and help others will ensure them continued success well into their
future lives.

/ believe that the true spirit of Fraternalism is a thing that grows. It
is first associated almost exclusively with a narrow circle of fellow students,
but it broadens with a widening understanding until it takes in all the im-
portant relationships of life. It enters the domain of private life as thoroughly
as in public life. It teaches the fulfillment of obligations to school, state
and church, Edward H. McHune, founder and past
president of Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity once
theorized. It is not an empty rhetorical statement
meant to showcase the greatness of the fraternity,
but rather a way of life for the brothers.
Founded in 1920, Sigma Tau Gamma's key prin-
ciples are value, learning, leadership, excellence,
benefit and integrity. Rooted at Central Missouri
State University, this 88-year-old organization was
created by veterans of World War I and includes
135 chapters with more than 75,000 alumni ranging
from famous comedians to top government of-
ficials. The chapter currently established at UMass
Dartmouth only came to fruition in 1995 but has
already shaped the university greatly.
One of the most well-known Greek happenings
on campus, the White Rose Ball, is organized
through Sigma Tau Gamma and is named in honor
of their fraternity flower. In addition to this,
the frat also puts on an official magazine titled,
The Saga, to be published quarterly updating
members of national efforts. Sig Tau especially
makes their mark on campus life with events such
as nighttime kickball in the quad, club nights,
bowling, and rock climbing.
Not only does Sig Tau make sure the brothers are enjoying and celebrat-
ing their membership through fun-filled activities, but the fraternity also
gives back to the community. On a national level, Sigma Tau Gamma takes
part in BACCHUS (Boosting Alcohol Consciousness Concerning the Health
of University Students), the organization's official philanthropy. The group
is completely student-based and focuses on combating alcohol abuse by
college students through responsibility. Another national program Sig Tau
has participated in is Books for Kids, which as of 2004, has donated over
28,000 books and $30,000 to public libraries and school districts where
fraternities are located. The project was designed in the spirit of tying the
organization back to its educational roots (as many of the original chap-
ters were founded at teacher's colleges).
On a more local level, Sigma Tau Gamma works within the area to promote
their values through the donation of valuable and necessary funds and
time. Past charity has included soup kitchen volunteerism sponsored by
UMD Catholic Campus Ministry and Sodexho food services, where brothers
served up hot meals for the homeless. The boys have also been a part of
charity walks with the YWCA and the Fall River Boys and Girls Club, as well
as the Relay for Life.
With their core values in place, the Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity has found-
ed a chapter at UMD based on brotherhood, philanthropy and entertainment
that very much echoes the noble creed of its founders.

Leaders who passionately serve their society, fraternity, and God
Phi Kappa Theta was founded on the basis of one principle: to break
the stereotype of fraternities. While the fraternity was founded nationally
in 1889, the Massachusetts Kappa Theta Chapter of Phi Kappa Theta was
founded on April 20, 2002. Two years later, on
October 9th, the fraternity received a charter from
their national headquarters, making them the only
chapter of Phi Kappa Theta to become national in
less than two and a half years.
for the Children's Hospital in Boston. The general public would be able to
place quarters into the machine, which would benefit the hospital.
Starting from nothing in 2002, Phi Kappa Theta has
grown to become the largest fraternity on campus.
There are a total of 91 members, including alumni,
and 45 active members.
The brothers of Phi Kap strive to combine their
social lives, and academics, with their sense of
brotherhood and mutual respect. Their new mem-
bers are expected to retain all of these qualities.
Adam Acorn, president of Phi Kappa Theta said,
None of us came to college with the intention of
joining a fraternity; however these are people I can
identify with - guys I will consider my friends and
family forever. Phi Kap's for life - not just a four
year organization. I'm still going to be a part of it
when I'm old and have kids.
Displaying a sense of community, the brothers
have worked on various philanthropy projects, with
their national philanthropy being the Children's
Miracle Network. Each year, they have consistently
raised funds towards the betterment of local chil-
dren's hospitals. The brothers also have thought
to work with a steel company to design a display
Other projects Phi Kappa Theta has participated in are Relay for Life and
multiple Juvenile Diabetes Walks. In 2008, the brothers raised approximately
$2,000 for Relay and another $2,000 for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund.
In addition to fundraising, members of Phi Kappa Theta have also partici-
pated in clean-ups for churches in New Bedford, and have volunteered in
local soup kitchens.
When the brothers weren't busy with philanthropy or academics, they could
often be found playing video games, football, street hockey, basketball,
or just hanging around the Campus Center. We're pretty diverse. You can
always find a handful of people that would do anything with you, said Adam.
Although the brothers are very different, they all share the same common
goal and bond. Their motto is give, expecting nothing thereof. Each member
values good morals, shares a fraternal duty to men, an intellectual duty to
self and parents, a social duty to society, and a spiritual duty to God.
Any of us would drop anything to help out a brother. We are there for each
other. I can call up any brother anytime, and he 'II drive hours to come help
me if I ever needed him to, said Adam.
Sharing the same common goal and an unbreakable bond, the brothers take
pride in themselves, each other, and their fraternity. Phi Kappa Theta has
made a difference in the lives of others while bettering the community,
and values of giving and brotherhood have been embedded its members.
Going into the future, the brothers will always support each other. As
Adam said, Phi Kap's for life.

Founded nationally on December 4, 1906 on the campus of Cornell
University in Ithaca, New York, Alpha Phi Alpha was the first intercollegiate,
predominantly black fraternity. Since its founding, Alpha Phi Alpha has initi-
ated over 185,000 men into the organization and has been open to men of all
races since 1940.
The fraternity was established out of a need for black students to come
together and help each other. Because the half-dozen African American
students at Cornell during the school year of 1904-05 did not return the
following year, the incoming students in 1905-06 bid themselves together
to ensure they each would survive in the racially hostile environment.
Since then the brothers have set outstanding examples of scholarship, lead-
ership, and tenacity. Throughout the years, Alpha Phi Alpha has continued
to supply voice and vision to the struggle of African Americans and people
of color around the world, while leading the fight for civil rights.
Alpha Phi Alpha was founded locally in the fall of 2008, however, the frater-
nity had previously existed on campus prior to the spring of 1996 when the
last of its members had graduated and left the university.
Yemi Arunsi served as the president of Alpha Phi Alpha in 2009, and
has worked to build up the local chapter on campus. There are currently
three other brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha at UMass Dartmouth besides
himself; Chukunma Onujiogu, Kerby Pierre Louis, and Rodeler Youte.
The brothers share a sense of community and have adopted the fraternity's
cardinal principles of manly deeds, scholarship, and love for all mankind.
Alpha Pi Alpha
Developing leaders, promoting brotherhood
One philanthropy project they have worked on is a program called Go to
High School, Go to College, where the four members have mentored African
American high school students and encouraged them to be all they can be
and to seek a college education.
The brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha attend an annual district conference in
which their step team competes. They also participate in rhetorical contests,
which teach the brothers how to speak correctly while improving their
oratory skills. Working with their sister sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha, which
is located in Providence, the brothers have hosted many events including
forums about sex education.
When they are not working on various projects, one activity the brothers
enjoy is strolling. Yemi described this as coordinated rhythmic movements
to dance moves performed in a line. The members also like to go bowling
and attend social parties together.
Alpha Phi Alpha gave me the opportunity to stand out as a leader, said
Yemi, / grew up with a lot of people who were involved in Greek life and
that influenced me to want to be a part of it also.
Yemi said he was also influenced a lot by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and
W.E.B. Du Bois, who were both former members of Alpha Phi Alpha.
Other brothers include Olympian Jesse Owens, Justice Thurgood Marshall,
Frederick Douglass, and Cornell West. These important figures are role
models for future chapters and pledges, who show them how much they
are capable of. With all the leadership and history embedded within the
fraternity, Alpha Phi Alpha is sure to grow as it continues to value brother-
hood and community while bettering the lives of others.

Dedicating her time to improve our community

Greek Life was a big part of student life on cam-
pus, but how many of us can say we helped to
establish one of these organizations? That was
exactly what Connie DeCourcey did in 2007. She
enjoyed the greek life on campus, but felt there
were not enough sororities being offered. Connie
and a few of her close friends decided to make
a change and IDN was born.
Connie had to juggle a busy schedule with her
studies in English, Psychology, and all her extra
curricular activities. Her motivation allowed
her to accomplish great things at school while
helping the greater good. Her list of activities
and achievements goes on; she is President/
Founder of lota Delta Nu, an RA leader in the
Cedar Dell South, a tutor at the Writing and
Reading Center, and President of UMADD (UMass
against Drunk Driving). Although her plate
was full with work she felt that being involved
made the college experience more profound.
Looking back on her college career, Connie
believed her favorite memory was the very
first general interest meeting for lota Delta
Nu. Over 60 people came that day and it repre-
sented all the effort she put into setting up
the organization, lota Delta Nu is known for
donating to the Room to Read, YMCA, and
the Walk for Autism.
Her passion for Greek Life is everlasting. She
would like it to always be apart of her life and
believed that she would still come back to
sorority events and dances well into the future.
After graduation she would like to study Law
in California. Connie would also like to tell
students to remember to, take what you learned
and embrace it. She is destined for success
with a sociable personality, and an enthusiasm
to accomplish and take on more challenges.

Giving special meaning to their Greek letters through heartfelt efforts to improve society
Often times when we walked to class our eyes would catch brightly
colored sweatshirts, T-shirts, or messenger bags with unique Greek symbols.
To the observer, these letters were just a simple way of defining an organi-
zation, but to a member of Greek Life, they were so much more.
These letters weren't just for anyone to wear. A student pledging cannot
wear the letters until they become an official brother or sister of Greek
Life. The significance of these letters displayed the dedication and pride in
the organization. They also acted as a promise to continuously better the
community and represented the everlasting bond of the group. The sisters
of Phi Sigma Sigma understood the power these Greek letters held. During
special meetings they would sew Greek symbols on bags or T-shirts to
tangibly display their pledge.
Phi Sig was created in 1913 and established on campus in 1996. It was
one of the first sororities brought to campus and became an instant hit.
The sisters were eager to make Greek Life a part of their college lives.
It was part of the Theta Sigma Chapter and lived by the Diokete Hupsala
motto, which means Aim High in Greek. These sisters strived to do their
best at school and in the community; always setting goals and taking on
new challenges.
Philanthropy was very important to the sisters and they put a lot of time and
effort into assisting others. Phi Sig donated to the National Kidney Founda-
tion and locally made contributions to the Boys and Girls Club. In addition
to these, the sisters also raised money for UNICEF and annually participated
in the Relay for Life. Activities like these were what brought the girls so
close together. They all came to love helping others and making a difference
in the world.
Whenever the sisters were asked to describe the best thing about being
apart of Phi Sig, they would always discuss their outstanding sisterly bond.
This was most enjoyable to them because it was someone to look up to,
turn to when you needed help or someone to just be a great friend. Phi
Sig was unique because it was made up of a diverse group of people. This
allowed for a new outlook or perspective on various issues and made the
sisterly bond even stronger. Phi Sigma Sigma taught the girls how to grow
and become women. It gave them a new attitude on life and taught them
excellent skills and behaviors to practice well into the future.

Laura Carroll writer
Mixing fun with philanthropy to achieve the perfect balance of sisterhood
In 2007, five women set out to create an organization that was unique-
ly tailored for the wants and needs of all their members. Johanna Hobin,
Connie DeCourcey, Michelle Hall, Meghan Thompson, and Julie Raimondi
formed the sorority of lota Delta Nu at UMass Dartmouth with the idea
that through the bonds of sisterhood, the girls could create a unique support
system made entirely of their peers. Immediately gaining resounding
membership, it became obvious that the founding five were not the only
young women on campus seeking common kinship and understanding.
With the official motto of the sorority being, Love thy sister, it would be-
come clear to pledges that they had, in fact, come to the right place.
lota Delta Nu offers this promise of sisterhood while also providing valuable
charity work to the community. With the focus of their local philanthropy
being children's literacy, lota Delta Nu contributes valuable effort to ensure
that the young minds of the South Coast are adequately educated. Admira-
bly placing equal importance on the local youth and elderly, the sorority also
participates in an annual Senior Citizen Banquet. Taking time out from their
packed schedules, the sisters prepared a hot holiday meal for the elderly.
Not only has the sisters' time been utilized, but also their feet! lota Delta
Nu members participate in various fundraising walks for disease research.
Walking in the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life and for autism
understanding, members strode towards a cure, one step at a time. Through
their valiant efforts in ensuring that their philanthropy impacted a vast and
varied segment of the community, lota Delta Nu has truly made their mark
and touched many hearts.
While approaching these serious and important issues with all of the grav-
ity they deserve, lota Delta Nu also keeps the atmosphere of their group
buoyant and fun-loving. Simply peering at their pledge information table in
the McLean Campus Center, you notice first, the smiles stretching broadly
across their faces, freely cracking jokes, and creating a warm and inviting
atmosphere, while putting hopeful members at ease. For their 2009 Pledge
Week, the girls hosted many entertaining events ranging from a Grease
themed dance-off to a speed date style interview session.
The sisters of lota Delta Nu strive to achieve excellence in leadership, di-
versity, academics and companionship. Members of the sorority are active
members of the UMass community and often hold positions in Resident
Life, athletic teams, the Honor society and community service organizations.
Through their philanthropy and bubbly spirit, lota Delta Nu not only creates
a sisterhood amongst themselves, but also betters the school itself. When
the sorority declares that it shall be a support system for women and shall
provide a path of self discovery through sisterhood, it truly delivers on their
mission statement.
Delta Pi Omega
A group of women closer than friends — sisters
Courtney Nunes writer
Taking part in various philanthropic activities, such as the Rock-A-Wish concert, was one of the many
ways the sisters of Delta Pi Omega came together as they worked towards bettering the community.
Delta Pi Omega was founded in April of 2004 by seven women leaders
looking for an alternative to the current and thriving sororities on campus. It
became the first local sorority at UMD, making student organization history.
Open to all female students, Delta Pi Omega is a fun, friendly sisterhood of
women who are serious about education, giving back to the community, and
building lasting, loyal friendships. The sisters of Delta Pi Omega also look
to become strong female leaders, and are devoted to trust, honesty, and the
encouragement of personal growth. Currently there are 68 members in total,
including 29 active sisters.
After putting up flyers around campus, dorm storming, and tabling in the
Campus Center for weeks, members of Delta Pi Omega kept hearing people
say I'll be there, but when the night came to Rock-A-Wish the sisters were
surprised to see people lining up an hour before the show.
In 2008, the first year the Rock-A-Wish concert was held, the sisters raised
$2,500. Performances by Baylock, Stealing Jane, and HelloMahalo kept
the crowd dancing all night, and made the show a success. The next year,
Delta Pi Omega put on another show, as they continued to work towards
their goal for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
Delta Pi Omega has also participated in the Good Night, Sleep Tight program,
in which the sisters decorate pillowcases for kids and fill them with a journal
and teddy bear, along with other utilities to be donated to local shelters.
The sisters have also taken part in the Autism Speaks Walk in Rhode Island,
where the proceeds benefit the National Alliance for Autism Research.
It's really fun standing at the finish line, giving high fives to little kids, said
Kellie, Philanthropy is our main goal. We learn to accept different values
through our work.
Other community service projects include Breast Cancer Walks, childcare
events at the YMCA and YWCA, and working with campus ministry by
volunteering at local soup kitchens. Along with other sororities and fraterni-
ties on campus, the women of Delta Pi Omega also participate in Relay for Life every April, and every
December they attend the Senior Citizen's Banquet.
In the past, the sisters have worked with St. Vincent's in order to give Christmas gifts to underprivileged
children, and have even baked dog treats for Animal Advocates.
With all of the philanthropy projects the organization takes part in, there are always situations
available for the sisters to display and improve their leadership skills. While all of the girls are really
different, they all share some common characteristics. Each sister has the desire to help both people
and communities, has a strong sense of caring and compassion, and a common enjoyment of social
interactions. So, not the sorority type? Think again.

Alpha Sigma Tau
Creating powerful individuals with sisterly bonds that last a lifetime
Danielle Santoro writer
College was a time to embark on a new life journey. A place
to develop your education, meet new people and learn about yourself.
However being on your own with your family miles away was a wary
thought for some. Luckily there was a good place to turn for those feeling
homesick. Alpha Sigma Tau sorority has worked diligently to create a
close-knit bond between every member of the group. To AST, family was
extremely vital and treating each other as so was just one of the things
that made them so exceptional. They stressed closeness so members
would always feel welcomed to be themselves and build a sisterly bond
amongst every member.
Alpha Sigma Tau was originally apart of the Gamma Delta Chapter and
founded nationally in 1889. The sorority established signature colors that
were emerald green and gold; colors every AST sister was proud to wear.
In addition they created a life motto for the sisters to always be, active,
self-reliant, and trustworthy. These were important aspects to live by be-
cause it stressed assisting others as well as taking care of yourself. Most
importantly it also facilitated friendship and making a difference in the
world. Nationally, AST dedicated its time to the Habitat for Humanity. This
is a program that allowed for families to get back on their feet. Money
raised went to new houses for those in need as well as medical supplies
and food. AST truly displayed how important family was to them by
assisting this organization.
In 1999, AST established itself on campus and became an instant success.
With dedicated members and a passion for change these girls were able
to establish something amazing. Locally, AST took part in many philanthropic
activities. They donated to the Pine Mount Settlement School, they also
participated in the Relay for Life, as well as many other community service
events in and around the area.
The sisters of AST understood the importance of values. The contributions
to society and their dependency on each other had helped them grow
into mature individuals. Being a member of AST you always had someone
to turn to for advice, support or help with school. They were all depend-
able sisters, someone to share fun memories with and experience the un-
breakable bond of sisterhood. One sorority sister explained how being
a member of AST sweetened her college experience and made the transition
into school so much better. A great quote they used to explain their relation-
ship was friends forever, sisters for life. The AST sorority encouraged growth
among their members. By being apart of something so important they were
able to make the most of this life changing experience. These values and
knowledge they discovered would stick with them throughout the rest of
their lives.

Cherishing the bonds of sisterhood and transforming the surrounding community
Attending a school like UMass Dartmouth, students are able to meet
a number of people from different cultural backgrounds that allowed them
to expand our understanding of diversity. The concept of diversity stood out
in the minds of others and a few young Latino women decided to integrate
this concept into a sorority; One that would stand
for culture, educate others, as well as motivating
sisters to come together and make change. Sigma
lota Alpha caught the attention of many UMD stu-
dents when it was brought to our campus in 2008.
SIA was founded nationally in 1990 and established
on the UMD campus in the fall of 2008. It was one
of the newest sororities to join Greek Life and
the sisters often referred to it as the Hermandad
de Sigma lota Alpha, which was Spanish for the
sisters of SIA. The symbol of the organization was
a red rose as well as the colors red, gold, royal
blue, white, and black. The unique thing about
SIA was that it focused on promoting unity and
educating others about their culture as well
as helping community. Their motto was, Semper
Unum etlnseparabiliswhkh means Always One
and Inseparable. The sisters were great role
models to society as th'ey promoted reliability,
strived in academics and assisted philanthro-
pies in and around the area.
SIA is constantly participating in community service, but as a national
organization there are three campaigns that they take part in annually.
These are the red ribbon, gold ribbon, and blue ribbon campaign. The
red ribbon campaign are fundraisers to support the fight against and
awareness of AIDS. For the gold ribbon campaign SIA hosts fundraisers
and support for the Special Olympics, and in the blue ribbon camp-
aign, SIA participates in the March of Dimes as well as fundraise.
Their national philanthropy is Our Heartland. Which was a program that
raised money for HIV/AIDS. It gave children inflicted with the illness a
chance to participate in the best week of their lives. This fun-filled week
was crammed with activities and events to give children hope for the
future. When it comes to helping out local areas, the sisters often tutor
other students or raise money for local organizations. They truly loved
making a difference in their world.
Their outstanding commitment to the community as well as their bond with
each other made the sorority a great success. It not only taught the girls im-
portant life lessons but also promised them a friend or better yet a sister for
life. Being a member of SIA enabled the creation of life-long relationships,
in depth self discovery, and the importance of being involved in the society.
The sisters of SIA believed that, An organization is only as strong as
its members and the impact that each of them has on their respective
communities. Therefore it was important to always trust one another
and make the sorority a team effort. This allowed them to accomplish
many goals in the community.

Looking for a sufficient job and attempting
to combat all the stress before graduation, was
a process that often times captured all of our
attention. However, in the midst of all that worry,
did we ever stop to think of people going through
a more serious crisis than our own?
Participating in charity events and raising money
for a cause was especially important to Greek
Life, with each fraternity and sorority supporting
their own unique philanthropy. Every year all
the Greek Organizations would come together
and combined their efforts to assist one very
important cause. Cancer affected over 10 million
people in the United States alone and still had
no official cure. Relay for Life was a local event
that allowed people to raise money for the ill-
ness and create additional awareness. On April
18, 2009 all the Greek sororities, fraternities and
anyone else interested in participating would
camp out in the UMD quad. At least one member
from each team was constantly walking a lap
around the quad until the 16-hour event came to
an end. It was always a great way to bond with
members and support an important foundation.
Greek Life also contributed to many local and
national organizations. The fraternities of Chi Phi,
Sigma Phi Rho, Sigma Tau Gama and Alpha Phi
Alpha dedicated their time and effort to encour-
aging children in school. They tutored children
and participated in events to raise money for
Books for Kids. They would personally mentor
young students and persuade them to continue
their education through the college level, so they
could succeed in the future.
The remaining fraternities of Phi Kappa Theta
and Theta Delta Chi spent their time raising
money for other philanthropies. Phi Kappa Theta
donated to the Children Miracle Network, which
supported many children's hospitals. Theta Delta
Chi raised money for cancer research through
their memorable Polar Plunge events.
The sororities on campus also enjoyed improv-
ing the community. Alpha Sigma Tau contributed
to the Habitat for Humanity to help people in
the local community get back on their feet, while
other sororities worked on spreading aware-
ness about various illnesses. Sigma lota Alpha
collected money for AIDS research and Delta
Ph Omega for Autism research. The goal of lota
Delta Nu and Phi Sigma Sigma was helping
to enrich the lives of children by contributing to
the Boys and Girls Club and raising money for
children's literacy.
Each organization specialized in its own charity
with their overall goal being to help others
who were in need. They constantly strived to
reach their goals while creating awareness
in the community.

Allison DeAngelis
Made the most of all of life's challenges by displaying dedication and commitment

When school work, extra curricular activities,
and jobs were at their busiest, we would often
wonder how we would ever get through those
hectic days. However, Allison DeAngelis had
multitasking down to a science and was able to
successfully maintain an overloaded schedule
throughout her college career.
Allison came to UMD with passion for Graphic
Design/Art History. Her initial reaction was to
make the most of her college career by getting
involved. Tennis had been an interest of hers
since the young age of eight. She dedicated her
time and energy to the sport, qualifying her for
the UMD Tennis team as a freshman.
Allison was a genuine leader and friendly person,
quickly gaining approval from her teammates
and was later elected captain of the UMD Tennis
team in Spring 2008. As captain she strived to
be a superior role model to her teammates and
stressed the importance of staying close, hoping
to increase the team's ability to work together.
Her diligent efforts proved to be triumphant when
the Tennis Team won its Division League as well
as the Championship in 2008.
Off the court, Allison was just as much commit-
ted to other areas of her life as she was to her
tennis career. On campus, she was a sorority
sister of lota Delta Nu, the director of promotions
for Campus Activities Board (CAB), a member of
the tennis club, a secretary of the Graphic Design
Club, and a participant on the Student Athletic
Advisory Committee (SAAC). In addition, she
also volunteered her time in the community, read-
ing to children and assisting in art projects at the
Hasbro Children's Hospital in Providence.
The main lesson college had brought to Allison
was that, you always have to make the most of
everything you have because you can go any-
where in life. Her commitment to the community
and her own colleagues will be great traits to
prepared her for what will be a flourishing future.

Book Division. The press run from volume 88 of the Scrimshaw is roughly
1,700 copies. Printing cost for this book was approximately $ 27,576.40.
Senior Portraits and were taken by Herff Jones Photography based in
Bensalem, PA. Caren Orlick Korin was the photography representative.
The cover, endshe'et, dividers, and layouts were designed by
Katelyn Marcotte.
Copy fonts used are:
Univers (cover, dividers, headlines in body text)
All photographs were obtained digitally by the Scrimshaw Photography
Staff using a Canon Digital Rebel EOS XT and Canon Rebel EOS XSI.
Production took place on two Apple PowerMac G5 Dual 2 Ghz computers
running OS X, Adobe InDesign CS3 and Adobe Photoshop CS3.
The Scrimshaw has been the official yearbook of the University of Massa-
chusetts Darmouth, and its preceding Universities since 1922. The editorial
views are of the student staff and not indicative of the views of the Univer-
sity. The content of this book does not reflect the opinions of the University
