are traitors, and

good we oft might

win, by fearing to

Great Job on DHOP

Everyone!

Lets have a great spring

quarter.

As the end of another year

approaches and some of

our most familiar faces

prepare to take their last

classes here at UCI, take amoment to think about

what youve accomplished

and what you would still

like to do.

With that in mind,

below is a compilation of

quotes that fit together

quite nicely to

describe the chal-

lenges that all of

us are destined toface and how we

can, and will,

overcome them.

Every new begin-

ning comes from

some other great

beginnings

end (Seneca).

The hardest part of a jour-

ney though, is that first

step deciding that

you are not going to

stay where you

are (Unknown). So

many fail becausethey don't get started

- they don't go. They

don't overcome iner-

tia. They don't be-

gin (Stone). To

climb steep hills re-

quires a slow pace at

first (Shakespeare),

but dont let that

stop you from reach-

ing your goal. Goals

are the fuel in the

furnace of achieve-

ment (Brian Tracy).

The great and glori-

ous masterpiece of

man is to know how

to live to pur-

pose (Montaigne).

Go back a little to leap fur-

ther (Clarke). Our doubts

24th to 12 on April

Grease is the Word

Delta of the Week: Ceyda Yaramanoglu

Tri Delta Does Relay for LifeRelay for Life has become a

mandatory event for all

sororities; good thing we

were ahead of the game

and were already planning

on doing it.

For those of you who dont

know, Relay for Life is a

chance to celebrate the

lives of people who have

battled cancer, remember

loved ones lost, and fight

back against the disease. At

the relay, teams will camp

out on the upper field in

Aldrich Park and take turns

walking or running around

the circular path. The idea

is to have someone walking

at all times from your team.

As a chapter we have a goal

of raising $1000. No, we

dont have to raise that

much. Yes, it would be

awesome and it is strongly

encouraged but, you know.

All that is asked is that eve-

ryone who signs up and

wants to go donates $1.

You need to have paid that

$1 to be able to participate.

Its a great event and it isreally easy to sign up; just

go to http://

main.acsevents.org/site/TR?

pg=entry&fr_id=20292.

If you have any questions

or concerns contact Alisa,

our designated coach for

this event.

Favorite Movie: Legally Blonde

Most Embarrassing Moment:

My fist day in an American

high school class the teacherputs up a paragraph on the

board with no punctuation.

Out of all people she calls on

me to read the paragraph out

loud and add in the correct

periods and comas. Well, I

couldnt remember the word

Three Random Facts:1. She doesnt use toilet seat

covers (they dont have

them in Europe).

2. She has the same disease

Vitiligo.

3. She hates root beer floats.

we won best show but lost

when it came to winning

Songfest. Lets change that

this year and go all out.

The next big thing for Song-

fest points is cans. One

Thousand Cans. Twohundred seemed like a huge

number when it was for

Greek Week, but this is

five times that.

For every pairing that

brings in a thousand cans

they get 2000 points (thats

enough to put us in the

lead). If you do not collect

a thousand cans, your team

receives no points. If your

team gets the most cans

out of all the parings then

you get bonus points. In

conclusion, bring cans.

For anyone who hasnt had

the chance to stop by the

house when the cast is re-

hearsing, the show so far

looks great. Not only are

we ahead of the game but

we have a show that could

really win. That being said,

the show is only 60% of the

points that go into actually

winning Songfest. Last year

Greek god Poseidon

(Neptune, in

Roman mythology)

is best known as

the God of the Sea,

but he was also the

god of earthquakes

and horses.

Poseidon, Lord of the Seas,

Known by Many Names,

Earth-Shaker, Rain-God,

Cloud-Gatherer, And Posei-

don of the Thunderbolt.

Getting to know PoseidonAt first there was only

Chaos. The first god to

come into existence was

Gaea, Mother Earth, thoughno one knows where she

came from or how she came

into being. Uranus, Father

Sky, became her husband,

and together they had many

children.

Their first-born children

were, Hecatonchires, huge,

powerful monsters with

fifty heads and one hundred

hands. Along the Hundred-Handed Ones, the Cyclopes

were born. The second born

children, the Titans were

born huge and powerful,

like the Hecatonchires, but

they were not hideous and

uncontrollably destructive.

Uranus, was harsh and cruel

toward the Hecatonchires,

he did not approve of their

wild and destructive behav-ior. They played with thun-

der, lightening, and earth-

quakes like weapons, and

they were always fighting. It

was believed that Uranus

feared that his powerful

sons might topple him from

his position as Lord of the

Universe. Eventually, out of

fear and ravenousness, Ura-

nus locked the Hundred-Handed Ones into a prison

deep within the earth.

Gaea was upset that Uranus

had imprisoned her sons so

she turned for help to her

youngest, Cronus (Time),

the only one who had the

courage to challenge Ura-nus. After defeating his fa-

ther, Cronus took his place

as Lord of the Universe. But

Gaea was sorely disap-

pointed to discover that

Cronuss real reason for

overthrowing Uranus was

simply to fulfill his own am-

bition. Now that he ruled

the universe, Cronus had no

intention of releasing his

hundred-handed brothers

from their dark prison.

Cronus married Rhea, an-

other Titan, and together

they had five children, who

became gods: Demeter,

Hestia, Hera, Hades, and

Poseidon. Yet like Uranus,

Cronus feared that his chil-

dren might one day over-

throw him. So each timeRhea gave birth, Cronus

would swallow the new-

born god. However, since

gods are immortal, they did

not die, but continued to

grow inside of Cronus.

Determined to protect her

sixth child from his father,

Rhea gave birth in secret.

She named the infant Zeus

and sent him to the island of

Crete, to be raised by

nymphs. Then, pre-

tending to obey her

husbands cruel com-

mand that she surren-

der all their children to

him, Rhea wrapped a heavy

stone in a baby blanket and

carried it to Cronus, who

swallowed it without anynotice.

As the young god Zeus ma-

tured, he became more and

more powerful. When Rhea

thought him mighty enough

to challenge Cronus, she

told him about his five

brothers and sisters trapped

inside their fathers body,

and about how narrowly he

had escaped the same fate.With the help of his Grand-

mother Gaea, Zeus tricked

Cronus into drinking an

emetic that made him vomit

out his brother and sisters,

as well as the stone. Under-

standably miffed with their

father, his offspring immedi-

ately made plans to get

even for the way they had

been treated and began abattle to remove Cronus

from his throne. However,

Cronus was not left de-

fenseless, he was backed by

most of his brothers and

sisters, the Titans.

The war between the gods

and the Titans was so terri-

ble that it nearly destroyed

the universe. The Titan Pro-

metheus, whose very name

means forethought,

Poseidons

Wife:

Amphitrite

Amphitrite is the

ersonification of

he sea. She was

rst a sea nymph,

ut because of

er marriage to Poseidon she

ecame known as a sea god-

ess. Amphitrite always loved

olphins. So Poseidon first

ame up to the earth to see

Amy Rice

A congratulations goes out

to Amy Rice for throwing

an amazing and successful

DHOP.

It was long planned out

and a strenuous procedure

but her efforts resulted in

us making a major leap to

our ultimate contributiongoal of $62,500 to St. Jude.

Thank you for being so

consistent and pushing

everyone to do their best

and show UCI how great

Tri Delta really is.

Sandra Chu

One of the most involved

members in the chapter.

She has been spotted by

multiple people doing any-

thing from Songfest Rep

duties to making sure her

room is extra clean for

Lauras visit. Every day

during COB, Sandra was

without fail there and

ready to take down the

booth. She also designed a

beautiful Grease booth for

Songfest.

Thank you for all your

hard work and commit-

ment to Beta Upsilon.

Barbara Town

If anyone is unaware, Bar-

bara is one of our new

Songfest Reps. This is the

first time she has stepped

up to do something for the

chapter either.

It was her handiwork (no

pun intended since a lot of

those hand prints on the

table papers were hers)

that DHOP looked the

way it did.

Thank you for always being

willing to give a helping

hand, be it with a particu-

lar sister or the chapter.

A Codebreaker is a crossword puzzle with no

clues! Instead, every letter of the alphabet has

been replaced by a number, the same number

representing the same letter throughout the

puzzle. All you have to do is decide which let-

ter is represented by which number! To start

you off, we reveal the codes for two or three

letters. When these letters have been entered

throughout the puzzle, you should have

enough information to start guessing words

and discovering other letters.
