SISTERHOODÉ.

 

This year Notre Dame will host the First Annual Sisterhood Trifecta.  The trifecta was created to help infuse NDB with a sense of sisterhood and cooperation.  The trifecta consists of three events:

 

á     Penny Drive

á     Kickball Tournament

á     Aquacades

 

Classes will be judged individually as well as on cooperation and their sisterhood spirit.  Freshmen are paired with Juniors, Seniors with Sophomores.  The idea is to help your all of your sisters do the best that they can.  WeÕre all in this together!  The class pair that wins the trifecta will have their class names engraved on a perpetual trophy.

 

Classes will still earn individual spirit points as well as individual event points.
