B.I.G.
B.I.G. is the all Greek philanthropy that is held annually.  This year, the philanthropy will be held in conjunction with the Volunteer Center as the kick off to their 'Make a Difference Week'.  On October 23rd the entire Greek community, will participate in an event that will include, but is not limited to, leaf raking, trash pickup, house cleanup, gutter cleaning, etc. We will be dispersed across the community at many locations that are all in need of services before winter sets in.  Busing will be available for sites that are further away, but we will be looking to chapters for some transportation needs.

Each chapter is required to have, at minimum, 40% of their chapter in attendance. The exact time is to be announced, but will be in the morning. 

Also, e-mail Heather Houchen or Logan Gauby if know of anyone interested or you would like to be trained to be a site leader for this project. We would love your help!

Up 'til Dawn

UTD has raised a total of $885,000 on K-State's campus, and we want to reach $1 million this year. But we can't reach our
goal without your help! Up 'til Dawn is excited for its annual Letter Sending
Party Oct. 12th, from 6:00pm - 11:00pm (come and go) in the Union Ballroom. Form a team
with 5-6 of your friends to write letters to friends and family, hang out with your friends, eat food, and win prizes! Participants who write 50 letters will get a free t-shirt. Up 'til Dawn benefits St. Jude
Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, where the overall childhood cancer survival rate has gone from less than 20 percent to 80 percent. Raising money for St. Jude is a truly wonderful cause, and
those who participate
really do make a difference. If you would like more information, please e-mail kstateuptildawn@gmail.com or Diana Klote at dklote@ksu.edu.
