The rush is on

CSC sororities present a world of opportunity at the start of Rush week. Xi Delta Zeta and Zeta Alpha Kappa organized Meet and Greek on Monday at the Hub to bond with other members in the chapter and begin their new adventure. The process called “rush” allows potential new members to find the chapter that fits them best.
“This is where students have the opportunity to meet with all the members of the sororities on campus to see what each sorority does, what to be a part of,” Rhianna Hagerbaumer, president of Xi Delta Zeta said.
Xi Delta Zeta currently have 15 members total, and hope to double numbers this year. Last year Xi Delta Zeta and Zeta Alpha Kappa did not host many events, but the organizations plan to approach the coming year with a new mindset.
Zeta Alpha Kappa currently has 16 members.
CSC sorority philanthropy is a type of volunteer initiative that members of a sorority partake in to give back to their community.
“I’m hoping to do a lot more events together so we can build more friendships and we’re really focusing on fundraising, especially for our philanthropy which is for Make a Wish Foundation,” said Hagerbaumer.
This year Xi Delta Zeta will partner with 308 Nutrition by selling raffle tickets. The winner will receive a $50, $25, or a $15 gift certificate. Of the proceeds, 75% will go towards Make a Wish Foundation and the remaining of the earnings to 308 Nutrition.
“We’re going to get coloring books, LEGOs, and stuff like that to send to different hospitals for the kids,” Hagerbaumer said.
Zeta Alpha Kappa‘s philanthropy is the Doves program. The sorority is partnering with Title IX and RLA for a What Were You Wearing exhibit.
The exhibit opens this afternoon in the library.
