There's a girl at

my home church

that has Down

Syndrome; and

she is one of the

sweetest people I

know, so I thought

of her and decided

to do the Buddy

walk. Everyone

was very friendly, and I saw lots of families doing

the walk together whether there was someone with

Down Syndrome in their family or not. It was a great

way to spend a Saturday morning, and it helped to

support a great cause. It was well worth it for me to

miss sleeping in one time." Jennifer Bolan

Every semester each Greek is required to sponsor a

service project. PBR helped out a children's home, KAX

went to a children's hospital. One activity that was spon­

sored by KAX was the Buddy Walk. "The Buddy Walk is

a fund-raiser to increase awareness for Down Syndrome children. It's a one mile walk,

and the children walk with you; but the walk is more about getting to know how amazing

the children are (you don’t actually walk for them, it's more of a 'family' style walk.) The

people in charge work hard to get everything organized, and they give away games, toys,

lots of donated prizes and awards. The Buddy Walk is just to let everybody know these

children have so much to offer, and when you walk away from that day, you pretty much

leave a piece of your heart behind," said Jen Williamson. One of the women's Greeks

also sponsored a car wash to help raise support for Team Mexico. Greeks also sponsor

social activities. KAX and PTE sponsored the second annual Christmas Carnival.

Not only do Greeks minister to the community, but also to each other. Almost

every other Friday chapel slot is designated so that Greeks can get together. Members fel­

lowship, pray, sing, share testimonies, and study God's Word. These special chapel times

afford a refreshing and uplifting break from the normal chapel routine.
