  9. Sigma Iota Rho “SIR has helped me become more closely connected with the IAS program– with faculty and staff, given me awareness of related events held on campus, and allowed me to network with fellow students. Moreover, joining SIR has allowed me to become involved in planning and orchestrating events on campus. My  involvement with SIR uniquely supplements my IAS education and provides the forum through which I am able to share and pursue my passions.” --Brittany Cronin, LAS class of 2013
