The Academic Honor organizations lived up to their namesake and characterized themselves with a tradition of academic excellence, engagement, and community partnership. Kate Lakomy, junior president of Tau Delta Kappa, the Honors Program organization, said, "Honor, Service, Fellowship' is our motto, and these three ideals guide our organization in everything we do - including our parties, discussion nights, and our Adopt-a-Block service project in Springfield." ABP, the theatre honor society, attempted to "promote provocative interaction on controversial issues and social problems," according to senior and president Rebekah Nettekoven. This year, their student-run theatre company, NeXtage, produced the short play, Bang, Bang, You're Dead, a drama written in the wake of the Columbine High School shootings several years ago. This play sorted through the many issues of decay and brokenness that characterize so much of society. Proceeds from the event were donated to the Katrina Hurricane Relief Fund.
