Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity is preparing for their first event after being under investigation in the fall.
The fraternity was under investigation for potential hazing during a scavenger hunt.
The chapter was placed under limited operations while the investigation was pending.
Under limited operations, the chapter could not host any social or philanthropic events, perform new member education or host chapter meetings without a representative from the university present.
Lambda Chi is no longer under limited operations and the investigation ended Dec. 31.
The officers must send all information they send to headquarters to the university to keep all parties informed, said Ben Patterson, the fraternity’s vice president of external affairs and philanthropy.
The chapter is fully functional and able to participate in all campus events as well as host their own events.
Hearts for Hunger will be at 7 p.m. Thursday in the Great Hall in Tom and Brenda McDaniel University Center.
Lambda Chis will perform a talent of their choice at the event and, at the end of the performances, the audience will bid on the talent they enjoyed most. The highest bidder will go on a date with the member or can have him perform an act of service, such as washing their car, cleaning or doing their laundry, Patterson said.
It is a come-and-go event and everyone is welcome to attend, he said.
The event costs $3 or a donation of three cans of food.
Stephen Lashley, the fraternity’s president, said:
We are excited about hosting a wonderful event to raise money, food and awareness for Feeding America.
Feeding America is a non-profit organization that’s mission is to feed America’s hungry through a network of food banks, according to their website.
Proceeds from the campus event will be donated to the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma.
