breakthroughs in research, we are proud to know<br />
that we have played a part in finding a cure for<br />
this disease. <strong>No</strong>t only were we able to contribute<br />

participation in Rock Chalk Revue, a university<br />
sponsored musical philanthropy, we donated over<br />
1800 hours of community service and were thus<br />
named Most Charitable Chapter at KU,<br />
