Delta Delta Delta has been selected as Eastern’s ninth sorority, emerging from three finalists handpicked from a search beginning last fall. The selection was made April 23 after three finalists — Delta Delta Delta Gamma Phi Beta and Alpha Xi Delta — visited campus more than two weeks ago. The Greek Life office first identified the need for a new sorority after various attendance and enrollment num- bers revealed Eastern could support an additional Panhellenic Council chapter. Eastern’s eight sororities have a total membership of around 720 students. Some 25 percent of the university’s more than 11,000 students join a fraternity or sorority here. The decision to search for another sorority was validated, in part, because enrollment this fall is expected to increase again for the third consecutive year.

PRSSA PR society marks 20th year Monday with celebration By Nicole Nicolas FEATURES REPORTER

Eastern’s chapter of Public Relation Student Society of America will celebrate its 20th anniversary Monday with a speech from its founder, Daniel E. Thornburgh, a former chair of Eastern’s journalism department. At the celebration, Thornburgh will be speaking about the chapter, and why he decided to start it, said Jennifer Stoops, senior journalism major and a pub- licity officer for PRSSA. The celebration will take place at 6 p.m. Monday in the Charleston/Mattoon room in the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union. University dining will be catering the celebration. PRSSA started at Eastern after Thornburgh learned of a similar organization at the University of Hawaii in 1983. In the spring of 1984, Eastern’s chapter became recognized by the Public Relations Society of America. By the end of the first year of PRSSA at Eastern, they had 42 members, Thornburgh said. PRSSA’s role in media and society today is to answer reporters’ questions and help avoid stonewalling, Thornburgh said. “It’s a good chance for students to network with professionals in public relations and for alumni to catch up,” Stoops said. Student members of PRSSA have the benefit of joining the professional organization at a lower cost upon graduation, even if a student doesn’t have a job yet, Stoops said. “The primary goal is to make it possible for graduates to find jobs in the field upon graduation,” Thornburgh said. “We work a great deal toward that.” PRSSA brings in many guest speakers who are professionals in public relations come to talk about how they got their jobs, Stoops said. Every year, students in PRSSA travel to different states for regional competitions where they attend workshops to learn from professionals in the public relations field. Members hope to do a fundraiser to raise money for PRSSA next year, Stoops said.
