Starting on March 6th, OCU’s chapter of Lambda Chi Alpha began their philanthropy week supporting Feeding America and the JED Foundation. These organizations support food security and young adults’ mental health. The Lambda brothers held all events all week in support of these causes!
Monday was “Chopped Ice” where snow cones were sold outside the Caf during the day and at the fraternity house in the evening.
Tuesday was originally planned to be “Paint the Chops” where students could pay to throw paint balloons at the brother of their choice. Unfortunately, the high winds pushed this event back a day, and it instead occurred on Wednesday in addition to “Lambda le Crepe.”
Selling crepes outside the Caf was hugely successful proven by how the brothers had to end early after they ran out of supplies due to high demand. Different flavor crepes added to the variety and excitement!
Thursday was another crowd favorite “Cookie Telegrams.” Students ordered cookies to be hand delivered anywhere on campus by the brother(s) of their choice. Orders could also include a message to be read aloud or a song to be performed by the brother(s) completing the delivery.
Friday was the final hurrah of the week – Lambda Carnival! The carnival included games on the quad, a dunk tank, guessing jars, and plenty of fun. The brothers struggled to compete with students leaving for spring break but for those able to attend, the carnival promised a good time.
Lambda’s philanthropy week was a great way to end the 3rd quarter and support worthy causes!
