In the
first few weeks of the Month of October the sisters of Zeta Tau Alpha were busy
giving back. October is known as National Breast Cancer Awareness and Education
month and Zeta Tau Alpha at Virginia Tech took it in to their own hands to
spread awareness. The sisters also participated in Greeks Giving Back and
helped out those in the community.
Greeks
Giving Back was an event put on by the Greek community at Virginia
Tech. The sisters were given different locations where they would have to do a
task to help make someone else’s life a little easier. Some sisters helped
plant trees at Smithfield Plantation, while others traveled around Blacksburg
assisting with yard work and fall time cleaning. We all enjoyed meeting the
residents of the wonderful community of Blacksburg!
As
October went into full swing, the sisters started getting involved in our
philanthropy, that deals with Breast Cancer Awareness and Education. Frosty
Parrot has held a fundraiser night every Thursday of October and will continue
to donate to Breast Cancer Awareness every Thursday until the end of the month.
We had our first annual Grand Zlam, a four-day philanthropy event that fraternities
and sororities were able to participate in. This was our first time switching
from our regular springtime philanthropy.We started off with passing out
ribbons at three different locations on campus. By the end of the four days almost
everybody on campus had a pink ribbon!
The other
parts of Grand Zlam included a letter writing campaign, a fundraising night at D.P
Dough’s, and a kickball game. Fraternities came out to compete in a childhood
game of kickball and to support our cause for Breast Cancer Awareness. With
some funny outfits and intense games, the sisters of Zeta Tau Alpha had a great
time raising awareness and money for our philanthropy!
