Alpha Phi's Cardiac Arrest


Two weeks ago, Alpha Phi hosted its annual Spring philanthropy, Keep The Beat Week. To spice things up, we added a new event this year called “Cardiac Arrest”. On Tuesday, the sisters of Alpha Phi set up a jail cell on campus. Each organization participating in our philanthropy was instructed to send one member to be the “cell-mate” and collect bail for their organization.

Just about every organization participating collected well over their allotted bail, so it was a huge success for Alpha Phi! It was also so fun to see students that were walking on campus stop by our jail cell to donate money to their favorite organization.

By the end of the week, Alpha Phi raised over $6,500 for the Alpha Phi Foundation, and we look forward to our Fall philanthropy, Red Dress Gala, in September.
