W
ith the holiday season quickly
approaching, the Alpha Lambda
Chapter has been in a giving mood
to close out the 2019 fall term. Between hosting
Watermelon Bash October 16-18 and Lambda
Chi Alpha's Day of Giving on December 3,
we have been focused on putting the needs of
others before our own.
Watermelon Bash raised $10,000 for our
partner, Community Outreach Inc., in Corvallis.
Activities from the bash included a canned
food sculpture contest, dodgeball tournament,
watermelon decoration contest, pizza night,
three-on-three basketball tournament, and the
Miss/Mr. Watermelon Bash Pageant in LaSells
Stewart Center. Participating Greek chapters
elected representatives to answer trivia questions
and perform in a talent show and in-between
acts. Alpha Lambda brothers performed music to
help highlight the special event.
Additionally, Alpha Lambda seeks to donate
200,000 to 300,000 meals to Community
Outreach Inc. Countless hours and planning
have gone into these events, but they wouldn't
be possible without the hard work of our
brotherhood and the philanthropic successes
we've had historically.
Last spring term, Alpha Lambda successfully
finished in first or second in every sorority and
fraternity philanthropy event we participated
in. For Kappa Delta's Mock Rock and Kappa
Alpha Theta's Iron Brawl, we had second-place
finishes with more than $4,000 donated to each
sorority's respective philanthropy. We earned
an impressive first-place total for Alpha Gamma
Delta's Mr. Ace, as we finished $3,000 ahead of
the next highest fundraiser. Michael Hammond
'17-1922 competed in the talent show portion of
Mr. Ace and placed second!
We have enjoyed carrying on Alpha Lambda's
tradition of campus involvement and personal
philanthropic endeavors! I encourage you to
reach out to me if you want to get involved or if
you have any ideas for how to make the chapter
even more successful.
