IN 1492

In fourteen hundred ninety-two
Columbus sailed the ocean blue.

He had three ships and left from Spain;
He sailed through sunshine, wind and rain.

He sailed by night; he sailed by day;
He used the stars to find his way.

A compass also helped him know
How to find the way to go.

Ninety sailors were on board;
Some men worked while others snored.

Then the workers went to sleep;
And others watched the ocean deep.

Day after day they looked for land;
They dreamed of trees and rocks and sand.

October 12 their dream came true,
You never saw a happier crew!

"Indians! Indians!" Columbus cried;
His heart was filled with joyful pride.

But "India" the land was not;
It was the Bahamas, and it was hot.

The Arakawa natives were very nice;
They gave the sailors food and spice.

Columbus sailed on to find some gold
To bring back home, as he'd been told.

He made the trip again and again,
Trading gold to bring to Spain.

The first American? No, not quite.
But Columbus was brave, and he was bright.

Looking for PALs

As you may have heard, we have a great group of New Members for Tau Lambda! We began a program last year that we are hoping to continue each semester. It is called "PAL" and stands for "Pi girl - Alum - Link". Our hope is to match alums with a New Member to (a) offer additional support for the new member and some 'wisdom of their elders' and (b) bring our alums back "in the loop" with a hope that they will remain involved and not only would you have a friendly face who is a current member - but also more of a reason to come back to SHIP for reunions, Initiation, etc. We ask that you reach out to your PAL to introduce yourself and the rest is up to you. We try to match PALS with similar hometowns or majors (another great way to network!!!) You can email your PAL, send a note, or the next time you bake a batch of cookies, send a care package to her!! It reinforces "AOII is for a Lifetime" when they see alums who are still involved and still care. We hope that it will also encourage our new sisters to join alumnae chapters upon graduation or stay involved at some capacity.

So now we are asking for your help... if you are interested in joining the PAL program, we would love to match you up with one of the New Members of Tau Lambda. Please email us at taulambdaalum@gmail.com. We look forward to hearing from you so we can continue this unique initiative.
