Q for the Cause raises over $700 for Relay for Life!

On March 23, Εpsilon Gamma co-hosted the first ever Q for the Cause with Kappa Alpha Order on the Olde Campus Upper Quad.

Q for the Cause was a barbecue dinner benefiting UNC Relay for Life, featuring live entertainment from Eric and the Dimarzios, as well as campus a cappella acts, The Walk-ons and The Achordants.
After months of planning, the sisters saw their hard work pay off. The philanthropy committee coordinated location reservation, catering, entertainment, waste disposal, tables and chairs, and volunteers.

The dinner was coincidentally the same day as UNC's cultural celebration, Holi Moli, so a good percentage of the barbecue diners were covered in paint, adding extra color to the event. Everyone enjoyed the beautiful weather and delicious food, with all proceeds going to Relay for Life, a cause dear to many of the sisters. Q for the Cause is definitely going to be an annual event, so you won’t want to miss it next year!

If You're One of Us Then Roll With Us!

After one of ΕΓ's most successful spring recruitments, we were pleased to welcome 12 new members on Sunday.

This year's Bid Day, planned by New Member Chair, Nicole Bostock, took place at Wheels Fun Park in Durham, where sisters and new members roller skated, had dinner and spent time getting to know each other. Everyone was especially excited to watch our Tar Heels go head-to-head with Georgia Tech on the big screens at the roller rink.

Sisters had fun with the event's theme, decked out in 80's-style gear, including leg warmers, side-ponytails and an endless supply of neon accessories.

Everyone is looking forward to Chapter on Wednesday, when new members will be presented with Kappa's new member pin and formally welcomed to the chapter.

Chapter Council Retreat 2012

Last Saturday, Epsilon Gamma's Chapter Council met with advisors and Nu East's Province Director of Chapters, Ali Barclay Seine, to discuss the chapter's goals for the upcoming year.

ΕΓ was pleased to welcome Kristin Sakakini as our new CC advisor, who led officers in a very productive goal-setting session. Officers also participated in a small group discussion of their leadership styles and learned more about how to delegate and motivate chapter members within their individual committees.

After a long day in Cary, CC was excited about the outcome of the day's discussions and confident in its plans for the chapter. It's going to be a great year for ΕΓ!
