Dedication

Every year, the Yamacraw

staff dedicates its book to

facutly or staff who have

somehow transformed or

tremendously made

Oglethorpe a place in

which to "make a life,

make a living, and make a

difference" to all of us.

This year, we dedicate the

2007-2008 yearbook to the

newly retired Professor of

Music, Dr. James Bohart,

Professor of Philosophy,

Dr. Philip Neujahr, and

Professor of English, Dr.

William Brightman, for

their many years of hard

work and amazing

dedication to this school,

our bubble, and for four

years or more, our way of

life.

Thank you.

Night of the Arts

As in the past, the staff of Oglethorpe's resident literary magazine, The

Tower, organized 2007's Night of the Arts. Scheduled during Parent's

Weekend, the event allows students free reign to exhibit their talents

both for students and visiting parents in Emerson's Talmage Room.

Audience members enjoyed the refreshments and Hitchcock-themed

decorations as emcee Nick Etherington (playing Alfred Hitchcock)

introduced the acts. Additonally, across the building in the TV Lounge,

Dr. Alan Loehle displayed student artwork.

The Stormy Petrel

The Stormy Petrel has been Oglethorpe's student-run newspaper since

1919. We have gone through many revisions, from developing new

layouts to creating new sections, as a long line of editors have tried their

hand at running the paper. The 2007-2008 year brings us all the way to

our 83rd volume. The purpose of The Stormy Petrel is to provide news

to the Oglethorpe community, particularly the news that relates to

what happens on our campus.

For the 2007 school year, there are 7 sections that complete The Stormy

Petrel: News, Life in the Bubble, Global, Opinions, Arts and

Entertainment, Sports, and Hindsight.

Economic Empowerment Initiative

The Economic Empowerment Initiative is an organization that seeks

the financial well-being of others. Ultimately, EEI hopes to empower

and create leaders who give back to the community with financial

knowledge, service, and philanthropic giving.

By training members in practical financial management, they learn

exactly how to budget, build credit, invest capital, buy a house/car/

insurance, etc. Meeting successfiil executives & entrepreneurs provides

members with perspectives and advice from qualified individuals for '

continuous self-growth. In addition, EEI organizes dynamic awareness

events on campus to increase student activism. By giving leadership &

management roles in planning events to interested members, with our

support, members learn skills to become even more effective leaders. \

And finally, by involving members with community- oriented activities,

EEI leads its members to become true contributors to society.

hterfaith Council

Religious life at Oglethoqje has flourished the past three semesters. In Fall of

2006, almost simultaneously three new religious groups formed. The Jewish

Student Union (JSU), the Muslim Student Association (MSA), and the Catholic

Student Union (CSU) joined with the previously existing Campus Crusade for

Christ (CRU) and, soon thereafter, all four joined to form the Interfaith Council

of Oglethorpe University. This year the Interfaith Council hosted Dr. Darlene

R. May, who spoke on the many roles of women in Islam. It hosted a joint Rosh

Hashanah- Ramadan break- fast at which members of the various religious

groups talked about the significance of fasting. Finally, members of the Atlanta

World Pilgrims, an interfaith group that takes religious leaders and scholars of

different faiths on trips around the world, came to Oglethorpe to speak about a

recent trip to the Middle East. This has been a great semester for the Interfaith

Council and it looks forward to many more.

83

levvish Student Union

^

The Jewish Student Union, now in its second year on Oglethorpe's

campus, is blossoming. After a successftil inaugural year, the Jewish

population has doubled, enabling a greater range of events. The year

started out with High Holiday services with other local universities;

shortly afterwards, Oglethorpe saw its first sukkah built as we
celebrated the holiday of Sukkot. The highlight of the semester was

our Shabbat dinner which garnered student, faculty and staff

participation. The Second Annual Hanukkah Jewbilee was our final

event and a great success with both Jewish and non-Jewish attendees.

We are looking forward immensely to next semester with Passover,

Purim and other great events.

National Day of Silence. We are a social and emotional support group for gay

men, lesbians, bisexuals, and those questioning their identities on campus. We

serve as an educational outreach and community service organization promoting

education and equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people. Most

Feed America Music Foundation

Feed America Music Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to

helping raise money to supply grants to homeless shelters so they can keep

greater audience.

Ultimately, Feed America Music Foundation hopes to raise awareness about the

growing problem of homelessness, help supply funding to those who are trying

to help homeless people, get a variety of lesser-known music out to more people

and support both the arts and community service by taking a role in both.

unity, opportunity, and awareness. Its primary function is to help
students with the adjustments and adversities they may face by |
attending a predominantly white university. This organization's goal is
to provide academic and social guidance for its members and the
community. The BSC will represent and protect the interests of
African Americans and minority students on the Oglethorpe University
campus, as well as the surrounding community. Also, the BSC will
strive to increase the awareness of African American contributions,
issues, and ideas on the campus as well as the community.

University Singers

Oglethorpe University Singers is the primary musical organization at

Oglethorpe University. The ensemble provides for the study and

performance of significant choral literature within the liberal arts

context of the University and is open to students of all disciplines. The

mixed-voice concert choir of approximately thirty-five voices, under the

direction of Dr. W. Irwin Ray, is in constant demand for performances

in the community and often obliges.

The members of University Singers rehearse three hours each week and

for their labor receive one hour academic credit and the pleasure of the

activity itself. Their repertoire includes sacred and secular Hterature,

both accompanied and unaccompanied, ranging from the fifteenth

century to the present. It is likely not untrue to state that every member

of University Singers, past and present, departs at the end of each year

with some feeling of satisfaction in the work accompanied and the

music created.

known to speak at meetings on topics that they find to be of personal

interest. Members of the Thalian Society also travel to other

universities within the state to listen to speakers. We encourage our

members to work diligently on papers that are submitted to

conventions across the nation. Through this process, Thalians hope to

Alpha Phi Omega is a National Co-ed Leadership and Service

Organization based on the Scout Oath and Law. The Oglethorpe

Chapter, the Mu Mu , began at Oglethorpe University in February

1958 and was re-chartered in 1976. Since then, we've been one of the

largest organizations dedicated to serving the school, the community,

the nation, and out organization an all-inclusive collegiate fraternity.

Alpha Phi Omega is committed to being the foremost student-run

organization in developing lifelong leaders, instilling lasting

friendships, and fostering a lifetime of service to all people. We do over

40 projects every semester, and have accumulated an average of over

1000 a year. Some of out major projects include: Trick or Treat in

Traer, Red Cross, American Cancer Society, MedShare, ushering

around campus. Goodwill, and much more.

112

Alpha Sigma Tau

The sisters of Alpha Sigma Tau stay busy throughout the year with
chapter business, social activities, sisterhoods, philanthropy work, and

having fun! The Delta Pi chapter has grown considerably since its
arrival at Oglethorpe in 2000. AST sisters dedicate time and effort to

working with philanthropies like the Pine Mountain Settlement

School, Habitat for Humanity, the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer

Awareness Fund, and the Boys and Girls club of Atlanta. On campus,

AST holds a pink baked goods sale every October during Pink Week to

raise money for breast cancer awareness. Each year, the sisters get

together for the New Member Retreat to strengthen old bonds and

form new ones. The ideals of Alpha Sigma Tau are embodied in its

open motto: active, self-reliant, and trustworthy.

113

Chi Omega

To value the talents of women, to encourage them to realizing their

greatest potential - These are the principles upon which Chi Omega

was founded in 1895 at the University of Arkansas. Today, Chi Omega

is the largest womens fraternal organization in the world with 300,000

initiates and 169 collegiate chapters. Since its beginining, Chi Omega

has nurtured its members by providing them with unique opportunities

in leadership, in scholarship, and in life-long friendship. Ours is a

distinguished history and our most vital role has been the preparation

of young women to achieve their highest possible aspirations.

Now over a century later, these founding principles are just as relevant.

Chi Omega Fraternity was founded at a time when women were just

becoming visible on our nation's university campuses. These early

collegiate women were destined not only to manage home and family,

but they would establish a foothold as leaders in the community and the

business world.

Sigma Sigma Sigma

Once long ago, in a far away town in Virginia lived eight beautifiil

ladies who stumbled upon the creation called the S.S.S. club. This club

was not just for anybody but only for the most upstanding and virtuous

women who went to Longwood College. Then on the fateful day of

April 20, 1898, these eight women created what is known today as a

sorority.

Twenty years ago, this now blooming violet organization found its way

to Oglethorpe's campus. But these modern day members of the S.S.S.

club could not be contained to the Oglethorpe Bubble; instead, they

travel to visit ill children limited to their hospital walls. Whether to

make a quick art project with them or embark on a Mardi Gras Parade,

Sigmas were able to do and accomplish much more to children who

rarely saw happiness.

115

-Jr

Chi Phi

The Chi Phi Fraternity is a values-based organization founded on the

basis of Truth, Honor, and Personal Integrity. These are timeless

values, which guide the fundamental purposes of the Fraternity. Today,

our crest and their badge are public symbols for the brothers of Chi Phi,

symbols that are instantly recognizable to members, but still

appropriately obscure to outsiders. They communicate our proud

history without overt bragging.
Covert symbols and deeply rooted fundamentals of virtue and truth,
honor, and integrity, bind us together in a brotherhood that is strong

and timeless.

116

Delta Sigma Phi

The Alpha Nu Chapter of the Delta Sigma Phi Fraternity was

originally founded in 1835 in MiUedgeville, GA, and after both the

Civil War and World War I, the chapter was reinstated at Oglethorpe.

Today as we enter this new century, we at Alpha Nu are proud to carry

the torch handed down by the brothers who came before us. Delta

Sigma Phi is continuing to grow, and currently boasts a membership

that is involved on campus and in the community. More importantly,

the ideals of Delta Sigma Phi are alive in the hearts of every one of our

brothers. Almost eighty years ago, a group of men with foresight and

courage established the Alpha Nu chapter of the Delta Sigma Phi

Fraternity at Oglethorpe University. Today, we follow in their

footsteps, that the world may ever be convinced of the sincerity of our

purpose.

117

Kappa Alpha

The Kappa Alpha Order was founded on December 21, 1865, at what is

character, scholarship, and leadership, from its members and to serve as
a prime example of the positive aspects of Greek life.

Hello faithful reader,

I hope you are enjoying perusing the history of this wonderful
school and all of its memories. I for one can tell you that the
staff and I had an incredible time documenting them. This year
was fiilled with a whirlwind of ups and downs, but in the end
what matters is, we published a book that can stand the test of
time and one that I will be infinitely proud of. This is a landmark
year for the Yamacraw - we have now reached our 75th
volume!! The Yamacraw has a long-standing history with
Oglethorpe, and I am immensely honored to bring another
year's events into OU's timeline.

I hope that you will enjoy this tangible memory for years to
come and let it always bring a sweet smile to your face.

And here's to 75 more!

Sincerely,
