Sorority to Adopt Lesser Sorority as Official Philanthropy
This past Monday, the Texas A&M Chapter of Delta Xi Eta announced their decision to adopt fellow sorority Zeta Theta Gamma as their official philanthropy.
“Our chapter as a whole felt our hearts drawn to local service,” said Kate McNeely, Delta Xi Eta’s Vice President of Philanthropy. “When we saw the state that Zeta Theta Gamma was in, we knew it was our duty as a sisterhood to give them the gift of our philanthropic service.”
Delta Xi Eta intends to use the funds from their annual 5K Barbecue Dance Competition to hire a full staff of chefs for the Zeta Theta Gamma house and finance a complete Magnolia Market remodel of the premises. The chapter will also require mandatory volunteer hours from each Delta Xi Eta member. Members may volunteer to develop date party themes, paint banners, or host recruitment workshops.
“The decision came as a surprise to us,” said Zeta Theta Gamma President Sarah Brosnan. “Our chapter has actually come a long way in the past few years in terms of membership.” Other members have expressed their agreement with this statement, citing their increased chapter numbers and social media following.
McNeely told The Mugdown that Delta Xi Eta would also be donating all extra glitter, feather boas, face paint, and tutus from previous bid days to the Zeta Theta Gamma sorority. The chapter has future plans to select eligible houseboys for the chapter but will not implement the program until the following academic year. Members of Delta Xi Eta said they are hopeful their efforts can slowly but surely bring Zeta Theta Gamma up the social ladder.
