Saturday, September 19, the women of Delta Delta Delta set aside their tailgating time to work for a greater cause. They all pulled together to put on their annual Tri Delta pancake breakfast. Members spent their morning greeting families and friends, collecting donations and serving pancakes.
All of their hard work went toward Tri Delta’s national philanthropy, the St. Jude Children’s Hospital. This is a cancer research hospital which is dedicated to the research of children facing the battle with cancer.
The pancake breakfast resembled other Greek philanthropy efforts in that members of houses from all around campus came out to support the cause. Holding the breakfast on a game day helped make it a unique event. It gave parents and alumni the opportunity to participate in the morning.
Junior business major Kristy Macdonell shared how her passion for the foundation has made her past three pancake breakfasts something more than a required event.
“After meeting some of the children, it really touched my heart and made me more motivated to raise money and help the cause. Whether through my committees or through serving at the breakfast, it became less of a chore and more of a passion.” Macdonell said.
In the coming week, the Tri Delta house will total their raisings for the event and present the check to the St. Jude Children’s Hospital. This year’s breakfast was a big success and the women are expecting to exceed last year’s $4000 donation.
