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.

For our annual meeting, please join us at UPenn’s Arthur Ross Gallery for a tour of Girl Culture, photographs by Lauren Greenfield which explore contemporary culture for girls, addressing issues such as sexuality, body image, and weight loss culture. Gallery Director and University Curator, Lynn Marsden-Atlass, will give a gallery talk and we will enjoy wine and hors d’ouevres. We will reserve the last 15 minutes for club business, including the election of officers. Thank you to Sheila Raman ’86 for helping to organize this event!
