This past week the sisters of Alpha Chi Omega participated in Diamond Bowl! Their philanthropy supports the Jimmy V Foundation. The Jimmy V Foundation is dedicated to saving lives by helping find a cure for cancer in memory of North Carolina State University Basketball Coach, Jim Valvano. FIJI raises so much money each year and we always have so much fun participating, so it wasn’t even a debate when we decided to participate again this year!
The week’s events included a brotherhood auction, two hand touching and tackling brothers on campus, and ended on Sunday with a flag football tournament. FIJI Diamond Bowl is held a few weeks before FIJI’s main philanthropic event called The FIJI Run Across Virginia. This event is a cross-state run culminating in the presentation of the UVA vs. Virginia Tech game ball at the annual game in late November. Both the UVA and Virginia Tech chapters participate and it is always a great success. They hold Diamond Bowl in advance to raise additional awareness and support for their amazing cause.
We all had so much fun chasing around the brothers on campus, and the brotherhood auctions are always very entertaining. The sisters of Alpha Chi love getting down and dirty to play football for a great cause, and had so much fun playing against the other sororities that participated.
Upcoming this week the sisters of Alpha Chi Omega are preparing for our fall philanthropy Mock Rock. This week we will be collecting shelter items at the local Kroger stores for the Women’s Resource Center of the New River Valley.
