ChickSpeak connects college women
By
In an attempt to give young women across the country a forum for discussion, activism and a sense of connection, ChickSpeak.com has recently launched its communications Web site.
"I created ChickSpeak to be a platform for young women everywhere to find the power of their voices in the world and move forward with knowledge, strength and class," said creator Christina Twomey in an e-mail interview.
Members have to create accounts with a university e-mail address to ensure that the site remains a safe and productive community for the women who use its services. Membership is free.
Once logged in, members create profiles, similar to MySpace or Facebook, but with a more sophisticated purpose in mind. For instance, members can keep private journals or participate in forums with other young women, stimulating conversation and provoking thought.

An advanced painting class, made up of 15 CSU students, finished painting a 7-foot-tall-by-52-foot-long mural on the north side of the former Steele's Market in a dual effort with the Bohemian Foundation to combine artistic expression and community service.
SAE is reinstated

Ousted fraternity Sigma Alpha Epsilon regained recognition as a CSU colony Monday after a member from another fraternity pushed for Greeks to reconsider the fraternity's bid. More than one year after SAE became the scourge of CSU Greek Life for allegations of underage drinking and other misconduct, the Interfraternity Council, the group that governs fraternities, voted unanimously to bring them back.
