Then – Mountain Day was enjoyed as a fall outing to<br />
Little Mountain.<br />
<strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Erie</strong> <strong>College</strong> has probably had many incarnations<br />
of Greek life over the years, but the earliest documented<br />
groups were as early as 1899. Two sororities, Tau Phi Alpha<br />
and Delta Gamma Phi disbanded around 1914.<br />
This surprise holiday was borrowed from Mount Holyoke and<br />
often involved a trip to a Little Mountain hotel owned by<br />
founder, Charles Avery. Student enjoyed food, exercise and<br />
fun with classmates and faculty members.<br />
Now – The Campus sorority is formally recognized as<br />
a student club.<br />
Now – Mountain Day involves a multitude<br />
of activities.<br />
The <strong>College</strong> is currently home to one sorority, Delta Kappa Psi.<br />
In addition to the many social aspects of the group, members<br />
also raise money and awareness for worthy causes including<br />
the Make-a-Wish Foundation and Special Olympics.<br />

This fall, students<br />
awoke to<br />
the sounds of<br />
the Harvey<br />
High School<br />
marching band<br />
and spent the<br />
day volunteering,<br />
going on<br />
shopping trips or taking excursions to Little Mountain. A<br />
casino party topped off the evening and allowed students,<br />
faculty and staff to enjoy the tradition together.
