(No, that's not a typo!).</div> <bR> <div> There's a lot going on at the Nu.  During orientation week, we organize the famous MedVentures for incoming students.  In the fall, we host the annual Bar-Crawl and Post-Bar-Crawl BBQ and the annual Post-Gross Anatomy Party.  We also hold various smaller gatherings, a Holiday Dinner, and an annual Barbecue for visiting alumni.  From time to time we host students visiting from other medical schools and other countries; in the past, we've had visitors from Russia, Sweden, and Argentina to name a few.</div> <bR> <div> With its history, the diversity of its members, and the service it provides the Penn Med community, Nu Sigma Nu offers a unique living opportunity.  If you came to medical school not only to study, but to really get involved, have a seemingly balanced life, and have a good time, then living at The Nu might be perfect for you.  We are looking for people who are social and fun to be around; people who are truly excited about living in a group house.  There will be several open spots, so we encourage anyone (and everyone) who thinks they may benefit from living at the Nu to fill out our form (<A HREF="id2.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Nu Sigma Nu Form"><U>click here</U></A>) and get it to us as soon as possible.  Please feel free to drop by the house and check it out anytime.  We look forward to meeting you.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Sincerely,</b></div> <bR> <div> <B>Chuck,Tim, Mike, Ibe, Heather, Kevin, Defne, Stu, and Jeff</b></div> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Please e-mail the house at </b><B><U>thenu@mail.med.upenn.edu</U></b><B> with any questions.</b></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
