Sororities spread positivity, awareness on campus

Three of Kennesaw’s Pan-Hellenic sororities hit the pavement to raise awareness of important issues on the week of Monday, Sept. 12.

The ladies of Kappa Delta placed inspirational messages across campus. As a part of their platform, Kappa Delta has been spreading messages of positivity all week.

“This month is International Women’s Friendship month, so we have been doing different events on The Green,” said junior biology pre-med major Christina Hill.

All week, members of Kappa Delta have handed out blue balloons, note cards, pins with inspirational words and cookies to students. Their campaign is called “You Make Me Smile.”

“It is not just to help women, but also to spread confidence to everyone around campus,” Hill said.

Zeta Tau Alpha gave out pink ribbons to spread breast cancer awareness. The title of their cause is Think Pink.

“We are passing out pink ribbons to show awareness of breast cancer,” Mandy Burks, a sophomore pre-med biology major, said. “And we are asking people if you will take a ribbon to support breast cancer education and awareness.”

Zeta Tau Alpha also partners with the NFL in October for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

“My favorite thing about being a Zeta is the sisterhood,” said senior public relations major Caroline Krebs. “We are all here together, and we are all here for the same reason, and we want to support the same thing, and it is great.”

Delta Phi Epsilon promoted their discount cards on The Green. The cards cost $10, and they have discounts for businesses all around the Kennesaw area. Some of the places include Domino’s Pizza, Gigi’s Cupcakes and Discount Tire.

The proceeds from their sales go toward Delta Phi Epsilon’s philanthropies.

“We have three philanthropies: the Delta Phi Epsilon Educational Foundation, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and the National Association for Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders,” said senior public relations major Mia DeBiase. “We have a big heart for our philanthropies.”

The women of each of these sororities conducted their events separately, but all shared the positive theme of spreading awareness for causes they love.
