Throughout the week, the Greek Organizations on campus have been putting on events to recruit new members for their fraternities and sororities.
Alpha Chi Omega held a social event on Wednesday night that included a photo booth and a short presentation on the sorority. Women who were interested in joining the sorority, which is new on campus this year, mingled with the sisters and learned more about the organization.
Kappa Delta Chi, a sorority established at Western in 2012, hosted multiple events including a Service Day on Tuesday, where they made pillows for survivors of breast cancer, a Karaoke and Social event on Wednesday, and a No Hazing event on Thursday in collaboration with Omega Delta Chi and Alpha Chi Omega
Cecelia Perez, a sophomore education major and Special Projects Chair of Kappa Delta Chi said, “We don’t haze and we have never hazed our members.”
Kappa Delta Chi is an academic and service based sorority. They have four focuses: Unity, Honesty, Integrity and Leadership.
“We really strive to get our women to graduate college and […] push them to pursue their dreams and goals,” said Perez. “We want them to grow within this organization and become great leaders.”
Greek Week is also in the plans. Every year, the Greek organizations on campus compete with one another. At the end of the week, a trophy is awarded to the winners. Kappa Delta Chi has won twice.
“If you’re wanting a place where you can find a family and a place where you belong, definitely join a Greek organization […] you’ll learn so many essential skills,” said Perez.
