Corpus Christi
 Katie Blaisdell is still mourning the loss of her grandmother, who played a vital role in shaping Katie's faith. Katie found this Easter especially difficult, feeling like Cleopas on the Road to Emmaus, so focused on a recent death that she can't see resurrection. But seeing a reinterpretation of the Passion story, Corpus Christi, helped Katie remember the Easter story, and it's helping her celebrate her grandmother's new life.
Changes
After spending a semester overseas, Tony McMahon came home a different person. He's not quite sure how he's different, but the change was good. Back home in the United States, he's struggled to hold onto the changes, but it's not coming easy. Relationships end, and problems aren't yet solved. As winter's end nears, Tony senses a third act coming to his self-discovery, and he's left to wonder what's next?

Campus Chaos III Champion is...
Congratulations to University Christian Church of Fort Worth, Texas, this year's Campus Chaos champion! Their entry, "Shooter Jennings and Depeche Mode for church," won the final round of voting to win the title. Here's their entry:
 The college ministry at University Christian Church has been spending our Wednesday lunches together for the past year. During this time the “lunch bunch” as we call ourselves has been listening to secular songs ranging from U2 and evanescence to Shooter Jennings and Depeche Mode and pulling out some deep theology and discussing the messages that these “secular” songs have for us as college students and as Christians. We are now taking it a step further. We’re taking the same types of songs and digging out the deeper meaning from them and translating that into original works of art. These interpretations give us the opportunity to show the world that we have a really good thing going down here in Texas. This has been an amazing fresh approach to discussing faith and learning how to apply it to our life’s as not only college students on a unique campus but as Christians trying to live our lives for a higher purpose during the college years.
Congratulations also go to Hiram College, whose "Hiram Community Share" made it to the finals.
All 66 entries from the first three Campus Chaos contests are available right here:

The vast supply of
resources for socially oriented discussion groups can be overwhelming.
STEP hopes to provide some quick help by creating reviews of socially
oriented resources for college students. Check out our first resource
