Phi Delt Phillies
A campus event I recently attended on Thursday April 13,
2017 was the Phi Delt Phillies. It was a fraternity philanthropy that was
benefiting profits for the ALS, as known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. It is a very
rare muscle weakness disease that can be treated, but there is still no cure
for. An age to start being affected is early as 6 years old, but it is more
common in later years in the 50s and 60s. All of the proceeds go to the
organization that helps find a cure for ALS. Each ticket was $5 in advance from
a Phi Delt member or $6 at the door. There were flyers all over campus for this
event and every Phi Delt member had to advertise it and sale at least 5
tickets. Phi Delt members went to each chapter house on city campus to
advertise this event and get the word out about it. They would give out free
tickets to some houses if they could guess the name of someone or if they
remember what day it was on, just to see who was and wasn’t paying attention. The
Phi Delt members provided services for the paying consumers working in an
assembly line to make everyone an individual Philly cheesesteak sandwich. The
event was held in the basement and their house chef made the food provided. It
was a successful event that raised a lot of money for the ALS association.
