Baseball sweeps Hofstra as Daniels turns in strong outing

By Tommy Hamzik

As the Elon University baseball team's offense stayed hot, freshman right-hander Mason Daniels turned in his longest outing of the year and the Phoenix completed its sweep of Hofstra University with a 10-5 victory on Sunday at Latham Park. It's Elon's eighth straight Colonial Athletic Association victory, its longest conference winning streak since 2009. Daniels went seven and one-third innings, making it past the dreaded sixth inning that's been hindering him, striking out six and allowing just two earned runs (five total) on five hits with three walks.

By Danielle Deavens

 “I feel like for me I’m like the old high school quarterback who can’t let go of my high school years.” Maddie Phillips, Elon class of 2008, came back to Elon last weekend – not for an alumni event or a speaking engagement, but to celebrate 15 years of Elon’s first all-women acapella group, Sweet Signatures. Phillips, who now lives in Charlotte, initially planned for the event to be a small gathering of some Sweet Sigs alumnae, but it snowballed into a performance at the group’s final concert of the year.

Total Sorority Move responds to Sigma Kappa's Actual Sorority Move campaign

By Courtney Campbell

Instagram and Facebook feeds were filled with images of college women in lab coats or with books in hand with the hashtag #ActualSororityMove (ASM) on April 19. Elon Univeristy’s Kappa Zeta chapter of Sigma Kappa launched the ASM campaign in a Facebook post beginning with “Dear Total Sorority Move (and anyone else), This is a message for you...” The post went on describing the chapter was a group of real, passionate, smart women and are not what a website defines a sorority as. Sororities as a whole face a variety of stigmas such as having a certain appearance, paying for friendships and being more focused on partying than academia. Sigma Kappa tried to go beyond this, according to junior Amanda Steinman, a member of Sigma Kappa  who helped organize the campaign. “We are a multidimensional group of women, we have passions and dreams and goals, we fight for gender equality, we work together to lift one another up, we cannot fit a mold or be put into boxes,” said a statement from the Kappa Zeta chapter. Members of various chapters of Sigma Kappa as well as other sororities joined in and posted photos explaining how they were individuals while still being proud sorority sisters.
