Kappa Easter Egg Hunt

Theta Denim Dash

The Panhellenic Times Page 2

Each year, Kappa Kappa Gamma hosts their

annual Easter Egg Hunt for the faculty and

staff’s children. It could not have been a

more perfect day as this year’s hunt was held

on March 19th in Founder’s Mall where

many gathered in anticipation of the hunt.

Each member of Kappa Kappa Gamma

helped by bringing at least 10 eggs filled

with candy to scatter across the Mall. The

command was given and children raced off

into different directions to find as many eggs

as possible. After the hunt, many families

had their pictures taken with the Easter

Bunny and enjoyed the refreshments pro-

vided.

-Mandi Jones

Kappa Alpha Theta raised $2,335 at their Charity Denim Dash

this March. The event was so successful it will be held again next

semester. Charity Denim is a traveling fund-raising company that

sells designer jeans for half-off and then donates 10 percent of its

profit to the host organization. The money raised will go to Kappa

Alpha Theta’s national philanthropy, Court Appointed Special Ad-

vocates, which helps disadvantaged children. Theta opened its

chapter room to the public and sold jeans, such as True Religion

and Rock & Republic for prices ranging from $45-$100. The event

received much publicity and was featured in both the Lariat and

Waco Trib.

Tip #3: Use

daylight

hours to

study. An hour of studying dur-

ing the day is worth two at night!

Do the work that requires the

most concentration (usually read-

ing) earliest in the day.

Tip #1: At the beginning of

the week make a list of all

the things you have to do

and rank them in order of

importance.

Tip #2: When working in

groups, delegate jobs effi-

ciently. People will hesitate to

delegate jobs when working in

groups, but take charge if there is

not a designated leader.
