Birds on a Wire with Omega Phi Alpha

At the Village at Penn State, residents share a special bond with members of PSU's sororities and fraternities.
Last night the residents and the sorority sisters from Omega Phi Alpha worked together to create a birds on a wire display. The sisters and residents had a fun evening chatting and getting to know one another while they traced and cut out a variety of bird patterns.
The project is on display in the Atrium and helps to make us feel like Spring really has arrived!
