Blood Drive
"A blood donor saved my life," an inspirational quote written on a
t-shirt. This shirt spoke about Jesus' sacrifice for us and serves
as constant inspiration for ANΩ. Every February we co-sponsor a
blood drive with Donors for Life on campus. ANΩ attempts to get
donations from at least 50 people, allowing us to gather at least 50
pints of blood. Each pint of blood can save up to three lives!
The
Spring 2008 Blood Drive will take place on 2.27.08 from 10am - 4pm
in the Prince George's Room of the Stamp Student Union. Check it out

Midnite Ice
This is by far one of the most fun events on campus. Each year hundreds of people meet us for this annual ice skating party! Students glide (or tumble) across the ice
while dancing to classic Christmas songs and other oldies hits. The Electric Slide and soul train line on ice are always the anticipated features of the night.

Ice Rink. Buses will pick students up at LaPlata hall throughout the
night! Check it out on

Women's Wellness
In the spring of
2006 Kappa Chapter sorority began its newest annual program,
"Women's Wellness." This program aimed at providing young women with
information about health, fitness, and everyday issues. Young women
were able to talk with experts about different issues and left with
valuable information that they were able to apply to their daily
lives. Each year, the program takes a different spin.

Ladies Nite Out
Sometimes you want to get off campus and have some fun! So every
year the sorority coordinates 'Ladies Night Out,' where women are invited to join the sisters for a night out on the town. Respecting the average college student's budget, activities are planned to cost under $20.
Join ANΩ Sorority for our Ladies Nite Out Ice
Skating event on December 1st 2007 @ 8pm at the Sculpture Garden Ice
Rink! Check it out on

Fatherless
Generation
Fatherless Generation is a panel discussion that
addressed both the problem of a lack of fathers in the Black
community and possible solutions to this problem. The panel
consisted of prominent youth workers and mentors in our local
community. At the conclusion of the program we decided that a
good short-term solution could be achieved through mentorship
programs. |

Pull Your Pants Up
Pull Your Pants Up was the highly
anticipated sequel to the spring 2007 semester's Caught Witcha Pants
Down event. We invited Minister Carl and Lori McLaughlin to speak
again about Christian dating and relationships. It was a fun
informative session where the McLaughlin's stayed very down to earth
about the topics of dating, sex, temptation, and purity. They handed
out a few documents to help remind young men and women about how
precious they are to God, and ways to stay strong during your walk
as a Christian.

Turf -N- Talk
The sun was high, the determination was evident, and the pig skin
was flying. We hooked up with some brothers of Pi Delta Psi to play
a good friendly game of Flag Football. After a couple of hours we
came together as brothers to discuss Michael Vick and the recent
allegations against him. Turf -N- Talk serves as a way to facilitate
bonds with some of the students on UMD's campus, discuss important
issues to our daily lives, and play some football! |
