The campus’s four sororities are coming together to give thanks for sisterhood with their annual Festive Feast.
The feast is from 8 to 10 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 13 in the Great Hall in Tom and Brenda McDaniel University Center.
The Festive Feast is a collaborative meal for all the sororities on campus that has been going on since 2005. Each house is assigned to bring a part of the meal, and it rotates every year.
Alpha Phi is providing the main course this year. The only restriction on what the houses can bring is they can’t cater in any outside food, unless it is from Sodexo.
Other than that, it is up to the house to decide what they want to bring.
“It’s kind of like our Thanksgiving,” said Gwynn Loud, dance pedagogy senior and Alpha Chi Omega president. “Instead of being individual houses, we all come together to give thanks for sisterhood and celebrate the panhellenic spirit.”
This is the first year Phi Mu will be a part of the feast.
“Having Phi Mu join our panhellenic system here at OCU has meant more food,” said Zoe Harris, dance pedagogy junior and panhellenic president. “Kidding, of course, we only have had a couple of changes.”
Before Phi Mu was a chapter, the feast was hosted in the panhellenic quad, but has been moved to the Great Hall to accommodate more people and to create a united feeling, Harris said.
Also, before Phi Mu joined, each house brought an appetizer, a main course, or a dessert, and was responsible for its own beverages.
The addition of Phi Mu makes it easier because each house is only responsible for their assigned item, and beverages are now an assigned part of the meal.
“It really ties all of us together as a school, rather than individual houses” Loud said.
All members of OCU campus sororities are invited to attend the event.
