Queso Night 2016

On October 21st, the time came for us to hold our annual philanthropy event called Queso Night benefiting Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA).  CASA is an organization who's mission is to provide advocates for abused or neglected children.  CASA volunteers represent these children in court and help them find permanent home so that they don't languish in a foster home.  As for the event, Queso Night is a South-Western themed event in which we serve all you can eat tachos and nachos.  The tickets were $5 in advance and $7 at the door.  Aside from the great food, there was raffles, music, and fun! This year, guests served themselves, while our sisters were in charge of drink refills and cleaning up after our guests.  This system allowed our event to run smoothly and successfully.  We raised $3500 this year, which was a considerate increase from last year! We are very proud of how much money we were able to give to CASA and the Theta Foundation.  Thank everyone for coming!


Parents Brunch

On October 16th, we held our annual Parents' Brunch! This year the Parents' Brunch was combined with our Scholarship Banquet.  It was nice, because we not only did we get to share the chapter's academic achievements with all the members of Theta, but we also were able to present them to our parents!  A slideshow with pictures of our sisters together at different events was played so that our parents could see some of the amazing things we've done so far this semester.  There was also great food, including scones, pumpkin cheesecake muffins, quiche, bacon, fruit, and other tasty treats.  Overall, everyone had a good time, and it was nice to have so many parents make it to the event. Thank you to everyone that helped make the event run smoothly!
