HOMECOMING GET-TOGETHER
(mostly all of the sorors from the chapter meet in the Zeta Suite before Homecoming events. At this event new sorors meet old sorors and vice versa. Since Fall of 1995 was the last "Black Homecoming" that was the last gathering. However, we had a good turn out as sorors returned from Texas, Chicago, and even the Virgin Islands.
AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY(This is an event that we do each year in October just before it gets too cold outside). In our efforts to help prevent and treat cancer we stand on 3rd street (busiest street in Terre Haute), and run from car to car to collect money for this organization. The money is sealed in metal cans with a small slot, donated to us by the American Cancer Society. When we collect this money, it goes directly to the American Cancer Society. Spring 1995 was our biggest donation to the American Cancer Society in the amount of over $620.00
