Students
can try their hand at Las Vegas-style games without losing money
at Alpha Delta Pi and Kappa Alpha’s annual Casino Night April
4 in the Blue Ridge Ballroom of W.H. Plemmons Student Union.
Casino Night will house games like craps, roulette, blackjack and
more. There will be door prizes and prizes won through games such
as a Play Station 2, a DVD player, televisions, a tanning package,
a massage certificate and a golf weekend.
Junior recreational management major Heather M. Hefner is the philanthropy
chair for Alpha Delta Pi. She said all proceeds are going to Alpha
Delta Pi’s philanthropy, the Ronald McDonald House in Winston
Salem, and to Kappa Alpha’s philanthropy, the Muscular Dystrophy
Association. Last year this event brought in over $3,000.
“We would like to make even more than we did last year,”
Hefner said. “Hopefully we will bring in around $4,000. That
would be great.”
Alpha Delta Pi will have a table set up in the student union to
buy tickets starting Monday through Thursday from 2 p.m. until 5
p.m. and again on Friday from 10 p.m. until 2 p.m.
Tickets are $5 in advance and $6 at the door. You will be able to
exchange your ticket at the door for $2,000 in play money. If you
run out of money, however, you can buy more play money for an additional
$5. |

Alpha
Phi sorority began their annual Teddy Attack this week. Teddy Attack
stands for Alpha Phi’s Turn Towards Achieving Community Kindness.
This is the sorority’s chance to contribute to their philanthropy
by committing a full week to service projects in the community.
Jessica L. Umstead, a junior marketing major and Alpha Phi’s
philanthropy chair, coordinated this broad range of events for the
entire week.
The events range from walking dogs for the Humane Society, baking
cookies for the police stations and fire stations, working at the
local soup kitchen and cleaning their adopted highway.
“Boone gives us so much, and we want to give back to the community,”
Claire S. Hart, junior hospitality and tourism management major,
said Tuesday.
Throughout the week Alpha Phi is sponsoring Putt-for-a-Buck. This
event will be held all week long during the lunch hours outside
Welborn Hall. For a dollar, participants have one chance to make
a hole-in-one and win a small prize.
All money raised during Putt-for-a-Buck is going to Alpha Phi’s
philanthropy, Cardiac Care.
“This is a week we all really look forward to,” Hart said.
“All we want to do is raise money for our philanthropy. We
are very excited about helping out.” |
