Fraternity hosts egg hunt for local kids
Elementary school students were at the fraternity Wednesday afternoon to participate in an Easter egg hunt. Some of the brothers hid eggs while the rest, along with sisters from Delta Gamma sorority, entertained the kids. Rotating from station to station, the 40 students from Washington and Oakland elementary schools had an eventful afternoon.
To begin with, the kids took pictures with the Easter bunny. Crayons were piled next to sloppy stacks of seasonal coloring pictures, piles of Popsicle sticks laid waiting to be made into photo frames and the candy was in the dinning room waiting to be consumed. The brothers even had a mock petting zoo with scared little bunnies running around in cedar mulch.
Despite all the excitement and the hordes of kids running through their house, the brothers were all smiles, especially Luis Fernandez, a junior in the School of Industrial Engineering. Fernandez, who is a part of the fraternity’s leadership, spent most of the day running around making sure that everything would go smoothly. "Oh my God, it was just amazing to see that the kids were smiling out there," he said.
