Not only an institution of higher education, N.U. provides eacli student with the opportunity to live the kind of college life he desires. In May 1850, the nine founders of Northwestern met in Chicago, a bustling metropolis just 25 a for the years old. After a prayer, they set about considering the establishment of university Northwest. The site that had been chosen for the new university was swampland along the shore of Lake Michigan to the north of Chicago. About 443 persons, outcasts and ne'er-do-wells from Chicago lived in this town that was to be named Evanston after John Evans, one of North- western's founders. But in 1850, the civic and social center of the town was not a university. It was the Buckeye Tavern. By 1888, the university was well established. Under the leadership of Dr. Erastus O. Haven, women had been admitted in 1869. The first fraternity, Sigma Chi, was established in 1868. Alpha Phi, the first sorority, was established in 1882. In the spring of 1888, a group of Northwestern girls decided that they would like to become Gamma Phis. This was the first chapter to petition for membership. The previous chapters had been founded by colonization. In 1896, Gamma Phi was the first sorority allowed to have its own house at N.U.

Resilient Communities 1.1 What is a Resilient Community? Resilient Communities is an initiative supported by local, scottish, and the UK Governments, the principles of which are, communities and individuals harnessing and developing local response and expertise to help themselves during an emergency in a way that complements the response of the emergency responders. Emergencies happen, and these can be severe weather, floods, fires, or major incidents involving transport etc. Preparing your community and your family for these types of events will make it easier to recover following the impact of an emergency. Being aware of the risks that you as a community or family may encounter, and who within your community might be able to assist you, could make your community better prepared to cope with an emergency. Local emergency responders will always have to prioritise those in greatest need during an emergency, especially where life is in danger.
