Sigma Delta Chi

As student director, I had a unique perspective. I was in the

show, but not on stage, watching it from behind the curtains and Capac, Ml

the floor. The job required being responsible for many details. This

The themes of love, forgiveness, and self-deception were very Phi Beta Rho
