Last month, the Delta Epsilon Chapter at Missouri University of Science & Technology held its inaugural Hot Shots event, which promotes alcohol awareness and substance abuse prevention with knowledge sharing, games and events. The event is a late night series of sporting tournaments, funded by Joe’s PEERS, an organization that provides funding to events that support health and wellness. In the past, the event was sponsored by Joe’s PEERS, but with the chapter’s exceptional work at the event in the past, Delta Epsilon is now the event’s sponsor. This year, the chapter hosted racquetball, volleyball, basketball, ping pong and badminton tournaments, with music provided by chapter members who work at the campus radio station. The event had a great turnout, including the Director of Greek Life, Tiffany Kroeze.

On Thursday November 5, the Alpha Lambda Chapter at Millikin University hosted a philanthropy event called Big Man On Campus, and raised over $500 for The American Red Cross. Big Man On Campus is an event in which male students on campus compete in five different areas. Nine men representing different university organizations competed in categories such as: Spelling Bee, Pick-up Line Delivery, Talent Duet, Question & Answer, and a Swim Wear Competition. The winner was decided by judges’ scores from each category. All $500 will be donated to the local chapter of The American Red Cross.
