do you have this on your campus?
 

This should probably go under community service but... I am involved with an organization on campus that is like a Big Brothers/Big Sisters mentoring program. (We hang out with local elementary school kids and show them what college is about.) I was wondering if there are any programs like that on your campus so I can get some ideas for the up-coming school year. THANKS!

Well, I'm a Beta pledge at Nebraska, and we have a philanthropy called the Beta Buddy program. It's sounds kinda like what youre involved in, although I don't think its neccesarily about what college is like. It's more about helping underprivilaged kids a role model, and helping them. Of course I'm only a pledge and haven't even started yet, so I may be wrong, although I was in a similar program in HS. I may be able to give you some ideas from that, let me know what you have in mind. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

My campus has a big sibling program. A few of my sisters are involved in it. The only things I can remember them doing was stuff like taking them to the movies or getting a group of big and lil siblings together and taking them to the zoo (there happens to be one about 45 minutes from here).

This is so random, but are you at Nebraska-Lincoln? I met some UNL Betas in Colorado a few years back, they were great guys!

SunnyGirl,

The Delt national philanthropy is "Adopt A School." There's very likely something about it on www.delts.org

Yeah, I am at UNL. I not at all surprised that they were great guys. That's why I pledged with them. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

Thanks for your posts! It is nice to see that this awesome program is similar to some on other campuses. I just wish that I could be creative enough to come up with some new activities. You can just go bowling so many times before even the kids get sick of it.
