NEDA Week Reflection & D Phi E Proudness

This is a follow up to my last post. My sorority had a great turn out at our ANAD candlelight vigil. I believe that it was very informative and moving with Denise L. Zack, MS, LPC, NCC, assistant counselor from Counseling Services on campus, our guest speaker, and our readings by active sisters of D Phi E. Although when it came to open mic, no one came up and shared their story, we did accomplish our goal of raising social awareness about anorexia and other eating disorders, and next year, we hope to raise even more social awareness about anorexia and other eating disorders. My sorority was able to raise $212 to donate to ANAD thanks to everyone who supported us and bought a bracelet, donated their spare change at our candlelight vigil, and/or made a donation. My sorority and ANAD greatly appreciate your generosity and support.

Last week, we had one of our blood drives. Each person that donated blood saved three lives. The American Red Cross told our sorority that our blood drive saved 300+ lives. Again, my sorority and the American Red Cross would like to thank everyone who donated blood. We greatly appreciate your generosity.

Keep your eyes and ears peeled about Deepher Dude, which is my sorority's mock male beauty pageant. The goal of Deepher Dude is to raise social awareness about CF. Sisters of my sorority will be reading facts and statistics about CF throughout the pageant. This year's Deepher Dude theme is nautical. Our dudes compete in different categories such as formal wear, spirit wear, sports wear, etc. Our dudes raise money to donate to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF). Also, my sorority holds a fundraiser to raise money for CFF. In addition, there is a suggested donation at the door. My sorority and CFF would love your support! So keep your eyes and ears peeled about Deepher Dude, and we hope to see you there!
