  Kappa Eta Sister Polly Tobin Goddard just opened Bum Boosa™.

  Bamboo Baby Products is a company creating and producing environmentally friendly baby products made with the planet and babies’ sensitive skin in mind.

  Their first product is currently hitting natural food store shelves from Maine to Hawaii – Bum Boosa™ Bamboo Baby Wipes are made with 100% non-woven bamboo fiber (described as having a cashmere-like quality) which is renewable, biodegradable, flushable, and in the right facility, compostable. They are made with an all-natural solution including organic aloe vera, purified water, and essential oils.

  Their next product is coming out very soon – Bum Boosa™ Bamboo Diaper Rash Ointment is made with zinc oxide, bamboo powder, and a variety of herbs. It is rich but light and a little goes a long way!

  One of the cool things about the company is that they plant trees for each package of wipes sold and offset more than 100% of our carbon emissions by planting trees with Trees for the Future. So far we’ve planted more than 5,000 trees!

  Check out their website at www.bumboosa.com and if you are interested in making a purchase, let them know. They are currently selling in cases of 6 packages on Amazon but they will sell individual packages too if anyone is interested. If nothing else, please share the word with friends and family!

• Kappa Delta Phi, Iota Chapter founded May 7th, 1938 at University of Southern Maine

  07May
  Categories: Kappa Delta Phi Fraternity News Comments: 4

  Iota Chapter of Kappa Delta Phi National Fraternity at University of Southern Maine was founded on May 7th, 1938. The chapter is currently in good standing and continues to exemplifies the best of the core values of Kappa Delta Phi.

  The following was published in the 1950 anniversary book.

  Iota Chapter had a fine start as a fraternity because it was a local Fraternity for nearly fifteen years before becoming a member of the National Organization. With the change over at Gorham from a Normal School to a Teachers College and the increased male enrollment, Iota grew into one of the strongest fraternities on the campus. Today, twenty-two years after its start, it is the strongest fraternity on the hill. Iota continued with its activities, such as the annual Kappa Kabret, Freshman smokers, Freshman Week Tea Dance, and the annual banquet for the incoming members and the graduating seniors.

  In 1952 the Brothers of Iota Chapter constructed an outdoor skating rink, which is the pride and joy of the Brothers and the college. This rink also serves the Gorham Community and provides much pleasure for the local children. Once the rink is set up every year the work has just started. There is snow to shovel, Hooding to l,e done, and the scraping of the ice to give it a smooth, even surface. This is our biggest annual affair.

  In the years 1950, 1951, 1952, and 1953 Iota Chapter won the President’s Cup at the National Convention.

  In 1951 Iota was proud to have one of its members elected as the National President, Mr. James Bowman, a member of the faculty of Gorham State Teacher College and head of the Psychology Department.

  In 1956, 1957 and 1958 Iota won the Balfour Scholarship Award at the National Convention.

  In 1959, 1960, and 1961 Iota won the National sponsored Educational Display Award.

  The year of 1960, Iota gained the position of being the number one fraternity on the hill. In the fall James “Skoogy” Skougland won the mayor’s campaign, a position which Iota hasn’t held for a number of years.

  Iota presented in 1962, two new basketball awards at Gorham State Teachers College. First, the Francis L. Bailey Award, consisting of a trophy presented to the winning team ,. of the Gorham-Farmington game. The first team to win three consecutive games at Gorham, will become the sole possessor of the award. A second trophy, the Kappa Delta Phi Most Valuable Player Award, was awarded to the player who displayed superiority in rebounding, team work, scoring, and good competitive sportsmanship. This trophy will also be presented each year.

  Log into the OTC forums and wish the Iota Brothers a Happy Founders day – http://forums.orderofthecrow.org/showthread.php?t=75387
