A huge shoutout to Acacia who, earlier this month, remulched and filled up the sandboxes within the playground area at the First Congregational church in Ithaca! As they started the school year, they wanted to be more involved with the local community and thought there was no better place to start than right across the street with their neighboring church.

As recruitment and programming events start this month, members from our 3 councils, IFC, MGFC and PHC, participated in an off-site retreat, where they nurtured their tri-council bonds by discussing their fondest memories in their sorority or fraternity, the challenges they face as leaders in their organizations, and their most impactful relationships with their brothers and sisters. Thank you to the leaders for your continuous support with Cornell’s sorority and fraternity life!

Meet Matthewjordan Rueda, a Pre-Veterinary Animal Science major and President of Phi Gamma Delta. Prior to becoming President, he served in other leadership roles at his fraternity including the Philanthropy and Service Chair, Recruitment Chair, and 4 other positions!

In pursuit of his passion for veterinary medicine, Matthewjordan is a Lab Assistant for the Comparative Coagulation Lab of the Cornell College of Veterinary Medicine Animal Health Diagnostic Center. Here, he expands on his knowledge outside of class by running plasma samples for testing related to blood clotting and coagulation.
