Sheridan Phi Beta Psi raises $925 for cancer patients

Submitted by Tina Vawter

Sheridan’s Theta Alpha Alpha Chapter of Phi Beta Psi Sorority recently held their annual euchre tournament with 32 participants enjoying an evening of food, fun, and euchre. The tournament brought in $925 to help support their community benevolence for cancer patients, and the sorority’s scholarship given to a senior student going into the medical field after graduation.

At the February meeting, they celebrated Phi Beta Psi’s Founder’s Day and 122 years of existence. Vickie Cooper and Kathy Kirkendorfer, from the Delta Chapter, were guest speakers who spoke to the group about State and National Conventions and the knowledge they gained by attending both.

Cooper then presented Theta Alpha Alpha member Judy Ottinger with her Lifetime Membership Certificate and pin. Ottinger has been an instrumental and dedicated member of the sorority for 50 years. Congratulations, Judy!
