Delta Delta Delta Fashion for Life

  Delta Delta Delta, a National sorority held a philanthopic event on March 11, 2011 in the University Student Union Ballroom.  The event, "Fashion 4 Life," was a fashion show involving various Greek members as models who walk the runway, designer jeans on sale for discounted prices, and various other items for sale.    
  All of the proceeds beneift the Chapter's National philanthropy, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital which provides one hundred percent aid to children with life treatening diseases as well as cancer due to donations from sponsors worldwide and organizations like Delta Delta Delta. 
  Amanda Massie, Vice President of Philanthropy for the chapter said that "the event was a complete success, we raised over a thousand dollars in proceeds and it feels great to be doing something for such a great cause!  We put on a fashion show because I feel like it is a great way to encorporate the Greek system as a whole by having models from each house and it makes it a. more social environment.  Also, the fact that we sell jeans that the models are strutting on the runway makes it not only a spectator event, but something that people can all participate in and buy cute jeans for a great price!"
    The unique aspect of the event is that there are items including jeans, jewelry, skin care products, and purses available for purchase that increase the possible revenue and give the event a very welcoming vibe.  Another interesting aspect of the event is the excitement of seeing your friends and fellow Greeks on the runway which brings in an enthusiastic crowd and guarantees for a great atmosphere.
   Paloma Brighty-Schmidt, a third year active member in Delta Delta Delta was a model for the event, "I am the President of Up til Dawn which is another organization that works to donate proceeds to St. Jude and I always look forward to the event and was excited to represent Delta Delta Delta and our philanthropy in the best light possible."  The ladies of Delta Delta Delta put on various events to raise funds and aid St. Jude in progressing toward a cure.

Sigma Alpha Epsilon Beach Volleyball

   In an effort to produce revenue for their Chapter philanthropy, "Lion Conservation Fund," the fraternity Sigma Alpha Epsilon most commonly known as S.A.E. is hosting their annual Beach Volleyball Tournament this Sunday, March 6 at 11 a.m. in Belmont Shores.
   The "Lion Conservation Fund" works to conserve the dwindling number of lions in the African area and to launch a worldwide conservation movement.
   The fraternity does various events throughout the calender year to raise money for the cause. The tournament, which takes place in Long Beach will feature a team from each of the various sororities on campus.
    Each team will be assigned a set of coaches that will coordinate practices, encourage good moral, and enhance the positive vibes among members.  The charitable donations stem mostly from the entry fee that each team is required to pay in order to gain a spot.
   Wes Stephens, Philanthropy chairman of Sigma Alpha Epsilon believes that by integrating a fun yet competitive sport like beach volleyball and a good cause, their goals can be achieved.  "We also sell tank tops that the players as well as spectators purchase and wear, which is a good source of funds and publicity," Stephens says.
   Don't be discouraged if you are unsure of your volleyball skills, the event is a popular attraction for people to simply watch the tournament and cheer on their favorite sorority or just get some sun.  "I am not a huge volleyball player myself, but it's always a ton of fun, watching my sisters play, cheering the girls on, and socializing with everyone from the Greek system," says Erin Brown, Vice President of Membership of Delta Delta Delta.
   Greeks or non-Greeks are welcome to stop by the tournament to support Sigma Alpha Epsilon and "The Lion Conservation Fund!"
