Page 2 The Panhellenic Times Kappa Easter Egg Hunt Each year, Kappa Kappa Gamma hosts their annual Easter Egg Hunt for the faculty and staff’s children. It could not have been a more perfect day as this year’s hunt was held on March 19th in Founder’s Mall where many gathered in anticipation of the hunt. Each member of Kappa Kappa Gamma helped by bringing at least 10 eggs filled with candy to scatter across the Mall. The command was given and children raced off into different directions to find as many eggs as possible. After the hunt, many families had their pictures taken with the Easter Bunny and enjoyed the refreshments pro- vided. -Mandi Jones Theta Denim Dash Kappa Alpha Theta raised $2,335 at their Charity Denim Dash this March. The event was so successful it will be held again next semester. Charity Denim is a traveling fund-raising company that sells designer jeans for half-off and then donates 10 percent of its profit to the host organization. The money raised will go to Kappa Alpha Theta’s national philanthropy, Court Appointed Special Ad- vocates, which helps disadvantaged children. Theta opened its chapter room to the public and sold jeans, such as True Religion and Rock & Republic for prices ranging from $45-$100. The event received much publicity and was featured in both the Lariat and Waco Trib. -Alex Abdallah, sophomore Volume 2, Issue 3 Page 3 Baylor Beauties Congratulations Allison Steele– Chi Omega Kappa Alpha Theta Mallory Diggers– to this year’s Natalie Berry– Alpha Delta Pi Tri Delta Holly Hodges– Baylor Beauties!
