Our chapter's philanthropy is Arrowgames and it starts in a few weeks (April 11) and I am so excited!
Basically every night of the week there is a different game to play (Poker/Euche, Basketball, Volleyball, Kareoke). Each sorority and fraternity can have as many teams as they want participate (the more teams, the more points they get). Also, they get points for other things like wearing letters, dressing up their coaches, and other spirit things. We have an Arrowgames Kind and Queen and its a really good way to promote Greek unity on the campus.
In the past it was just open to the fraternities, but this year all of the sororities are going to get to participate and I think that is so exciting. Not only will it raise more money for our philanthropy, but more people will get to be involved and its like a last event of the year for the whole Greek community.
The other really fun thing is that 2 of us from the sorority get to be coaches for a fraternity or sorority on campus. We are basically there to give them information and stuff, but we get to know other people really well, have cookouts and things with them, and they do fun stuff like dress us up and its a lot of fun!
This is my first year doing it and I am a coach for Chi Omega. One of my bests friends is in that sorority so that will be fun. They are a great group of girls... and already I feel like it has strenghtened our ties with that sorority.. and hopefully it will be true of every group on campus
Anyway, I was just excited to share this. Since this is my first year in Pi Phi, I did not realize what a big event Arrowgames is... but guys in fraternities have come up to me telling me how excited they are (i even saw a guy in the library wearing our shirt from last year!) and the girls in other sororities have been telling me how excited they are that they get to participate this year!
