Twilight-Plot summary

Isabella "Bella" Swan moves from sunny Phoenix, Arizona to rainy Forks, Washington to live with her father, Charlie. She chooses to do this so that her mother, Renée, can travel with her new husband, Phil Dwyer, who is a minor league baseball player. Bella attracts much attention at her new school and is quickly befriended by several students. Much to her dismay, several boys in the school compete for shy Bella's attention.

When Bella sits next to Edward Cullen in class on her first day of school, Edward seems utterly repulsed by her. After tricking a family friend, Jacob Black, into telling her local tribal legends, Bella concludes that Edward and his family are vampires who drink the blood of animals, not humans. Edward reveals that he initially avoided Bella because the scent of her blood was so desirable to him. Over time, Edward and Bella fall in love.

Their relationship is thrown into chaos when another vampire coven sweeps into Forks and James, a tracker vampire, decides that he wants to hunt Bella for sport. The Cullens plan to distract the tracker by splitting up Bella and Edward, and Bella is sent to hide in a hotel in Phoenix. Bella then gets a phone call from James in which he says that he has her mother, and that Bella must give herself up to save her. She does so and James attacks her, but Edward, along with the rest of the Cullen family, rescues Bella before James can kill her. Once they realize that James has bitten Bella's hand, Edward sucks the venom out of her system before it can spread and change her into a vampire. Upon returning to Forks, Bella and Edward attend their prom and Bella expresses her desire to become a vampire, which Edward refuses to let happen.

The History of Delta Nu

The sisterhood of Delta Nu was founded on October 8, 1971 at Dickinson College. Prior to this date, the sisterhood was the Delta chapter of the national sorority Chi Omega. Our chapter wanted to offer bids to women of minority status, however our national organization did not permit us to do so.

We vigorously fought to change these discriminatory policies. Chi Omega refused to alter their policies, so, we as the Delta chapter decided to return our national charter and form a local sorority. To represent this change, we kept the name “Delta,” and “Nu” was added to mark the formation of a new sorority—thus Delta Nu was born. We adopted new symbols and ideals. And most importantly, we were finally free to determine members of our sisterhood—regardless of race or religion.

Since 1971, Delta Nu continues to grow strong. Each year, we raise money for various charities. Our largest philanthropy is called "Mr. Dickinson," which donates more than $4,000 each year to Safe Harbor , a long-term shelter which provides housing and self-enhancement programs for homeless and potentially homeless single adults and families. Because Delta Nu is a local sorority, we strive to help the Carlisle community. Other service projects include: The Ronald McDonald House, the winter fair at the Mooreland Elementary School , the YWCA, and Project SHARE. In addition, we lead efforts for Up 'Til Dawn—a fundraising event which raised more than $40,000 for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital this year.

Delta Nu's social events include: pumpkin carving, an annual Thanksgiving dinner, theme parties with fraternities, formals and Nu Night—our annual alumnae night. Weekly sisterhood events include: wings night, study sessions, breaks from study sessions, and TV nights. More than anything, we love spending time with each other. We are a group of women that encourages each of its members to express and further develop their unique talents. Our lasting traditions and individuality make us the Sorority of Delta Nu.
