This past semester the Theta Chapter recommitted itself to\u00a0community service and helping those in need. The Theta\u00a0undergrads first showed their commitment during Greek Week,\u00a0which focused on philanthropy. The chapter collected about $100\u00a0which was donated to Students Against Drunk Driving (S.A.D.D.)\u00a0The money was part of the Greek God competition, where the\u00a0chapter who collected the most money had their nominee named as\u00a0Greek God for the Year. The Theta Chapter\u2019s nominee, Austin\u00a0Josey \u201902 came in second place. Also during Greek Week the Theta\u00a0Chapter collected the second most pop-tabs which were donated to\u00a0the Ronald McDonald House and we participated in the campus\u00a0wide clean up.<\/p>\n
The chapter then joined the Panhellenic council in their next\u00a0philanthropic venture. We went to area hotels during the Homecoming Weekend and asked them to donate toiletries, which we donated\u00a0to People in Need. We had 9 hotels assist us with this project, receiving a good amount of badly needed items. The men of Theta\u00a0kept busy over the Homecoming Weekend and that Monday we participated in the Red Ribbon Rally, a program aimed at drug and\u00a0alcohol prevention in Delaware\u2019s youth. We joined three other Greek organizations in this worthwhile cause. There were approximately 100 youths that attended the event, ranging from the very young to roughly 15 or 16 years of age.<\/p>\n
We also helped spread the Christmas cheer this past year\u00a0throughout Delaware. For the third straight year brothers braved\u00a0the elements and rang the bells for the Salvation Army, but unlike\u00a0the past years we worked two days instead of just one. While it may have been cold and the bells left our ears ringing, this event always\u00a0brings brothers closer. Two brothers pair up for an hour and ring the bells. It gives them time to talk\u00a0to each other about numerous\u00a0different subjects, from holiday\u00a0plans to the future of the chapter.<\/p>\n
The final event that the Theta\u00a0Chapter participated in was the\u00a0Greek Mistletoe Ball. The\u00a0Interfraternity and Panhellenic\u00a0Councils sponsored the Ball as a\u00a0combined philanthropic and\u00a0Greek social event. Admission to\u00a0the Mistletoe Ball was either a toy\u00a0or a canned good, which were\u00a0donated to People In Need. More\u00a0than half of the chapter attended,\u00a0the event. Co-organizer Eric\u00a0Eickhoff \u201900 considered the event\u00a0a total success, especially since it\u00a0was the first time and event like\u00a0this was executed. There were\u00a0about 150 Greek men and women\u00a0who attended the Ball donating\u00a0225 items, including a fully\u00a0decorated Christmas tree.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
