![]() Former active member Aliah Taylor graduated from Marquette University in 2016 but she still attends the sorority’s events to support the next generation of sisters. “They were really nice and welcoming the first time I met all of them and I had this feeling that, like, we’re going to all be friends for a long time.”Īlumni are still connected through these bonds and relationships. “It’s like a sister connection that I never had, and I feel like I could ask the upperclassmen anything about everything, and I just really enjoyed that,” Tularnon said. ![]() The environment and family aspect of the sorority is what drew Tularnon in. She is looking forward to growing those relationships. Volunteering and working within the community is another way for the sisters to bond while also giving back. Marquette’s Day of Service overlaps with the day of the formal, so there is a group of sisters who will be volunteering before getting ready for the event. “The day of formal is going to be a busy day, but I’m excited to spend most of my day with everyone and spend more time together because we’re all busy and it’s hard for us to hang out outside of time as a chapter,” Tularnon said. “I’m hoping that we can raise a lot of money for ACS that would be a nice end to my senior year,” Lagman said. These events include partnerships with local restaurants, such as SereniTea, and sales of cultural goods, such as egg rolls, around campus.īoth Tularnon and Lagman said they are excited for the event and look forward to a night of performances, dancing and generosity. The sorority is hosting fundraisers before the gala to raise more money for ACS. Proceeds from the event and prior fundraisers will go toward the sorority’s philanthropy, the American Cancer Society. The Starry Night Masquerade put on by Delta Xi Phi will be held April 23 in the Alumni Memorial Union. ![]() Tularnon only joined a few months ago, but Lagman has never gone because the pandemic canceled the formal for the past two years. Tularnon, a sophomore in the College of Health Sciences, and Lagman, a senior in the College of Arts & Sciences, are both members of Delta Xi Phi Multicultural Sorority, Inc., but they’ve never attended the annual formal. They are set apart by years but will experience this event together for the first time. Sunshine Tularnon, a brand new recruit, and Celeste Lagman, a veteran sister, are both preparing to attend their first formal as actual members. ![]()
