Greetings, Philly Smithies!
Welcome to our new-and-improved Smith College Club of Philadelphia website. Having kept a pretty spare site in the past, we’ve expanded to keep you up-to-date on Club activities and information.
Our website isn’t the only thing undergoing revitalization—after a few years of sporadic activity, SCCoP is coming back to life! In April 2011, 11 local Smithies met to get the ball rolling again.
And now it’s your turn to get involved! According to our charter, our first task is to elect officers. We need at least 30 votes! To do this, we hope you’ll join us for our Annual Meeting.
