Events and Activities of the Chapters

Alpha – Ball State University, Muncie, IN  HIV/AIDS Awareness The ESG Alpha Chapter created an information booth about HIV and AIDS to be set up in the Atrium (one of the major cafeterias on campus) during the week of World AIDS day. The booth had a display board, fliers, and a game that students could play by answering questions about HIV and AIDS. Students who participated were given a chance to spin a wheel and win a cup from the Ball State Counseling Center, a World AIDS Day bracelet (donated by the Delaware County Health Department, or a World AIDS Day t-shirt (developed by ESG members). ESG members also promoted and volunteered at the free HIV screenings provided by the Office of Health, Alcohol, and Drugs Education.  Health Information Booth/Relay for Life The ESG Alpha Chapter participated in the BSU Relay for Life event. The ESG Relay team raised $755.00 to donate to the American Cancer Society. The team also put together a Health Information Booth with information about cancer prevention and healthy lifestyle choices. The booth was displayed as part of a Zoombathon during Relay for Life.  Highway Clean-up The ESG Alpha Chapter has adopted a section of Highway 332. In October 2011 and April 2012, a team of students from the chapter went out and walked along the highway and collected trash.

Other Activities:  Volunteer Work ESG Alpha Chapter provided volunteers for Welloween (Ball State Student Health Fair), the Dean's Reception, HIV screenings, and the Operation Jungle Red campaign to raise awareness about violence against women.  Professional Development Students from the ESG Alpha Chapter attended the 2011 Indiana Society of Public Health Education fall 2011 workshop, the 2012 National Public Health Week Conference, as well as two professional development workshops in the Department of Physiology and Health Science.  Community Presentations The ESG Alpha Chapter collaborated with the Fisher Institute of Wellness and Gerontology to provide informational workshops about the flu, cancer, and dementia to older adults in the Muncie community.  Fundraising events The ESG Alpha Chapter held a bake sale in January 2012 and raised $70 for the chapter.

Three different booths were set up with handouts and giveaway items on a specific harm that Kentucky faces. The motive behind the activity was to educate people on the top 3 dangers associated with Kentucky and how people could be prepared if a disaster were to strike the state.  Farris Town Middle School Health Fair- ESG members set up and ran various booths on certain health issues to educate middle school students at a local Middle School on each of the health topics.

Eta- Central Michigan University, Mt. Pleasant, MI  Out For Blood Decathlon- This was our third annual 5K run/ 20K bike race to help raise money for the Red Cross. This event embodies the three pillars of service, education and research. This year we worked hard to bring in our record number of sponsors and record number of participants. In efforts to enhance our race this year we added a 1 mile kids fun run which was hit with kids under 12 years old. Our biggest challenge this year was other activities that were going on campus at the same time as our race. We are proud to say that we brought in our record amount of raised money to donate to the Red Cross, $3,250!

 Great American Condom Campaign- Eta Chapter of CMU applied to be a safe site and we were chosen to be one. We were sent 500 Trojan condoms that we were responsible for giving out to our student body by the end of the year. In order to do so, we teamed up with our campus's Safer Sex Patrol to do an Eta sponsored bar patrol. We used the condoms from the GACC, wrapped them with little informational pieces of paper, and as a group went out to the bars on a Thursday night to pass them out to bar patrons to promote safer sex.

 Emergency Preparedness Research- This was a yearlong endeavor. First semester we had our members survey their friends to see how prepared they would be if an emergency would strike on campus. With the results from the survey we created a poster with our results and some information on how college students can prepare for an emergency on campus. This poster was hung up in our health professions building so our peers could have access to the information. Second semester we asked our members to gather articles in efforts to conduct a literature review of emergency preparedness in college students. With this information we made a more in-depth poster to display at a poster session at CMU's Student Research and Creative Endeavors Exhibit, which gives students a chance to show the rest of the school what kinds of research they are involved in.

Other Activities:  Adopt A Highway- Adopt A Highway is one of our bi-annual service activities. Our chapter cleans up our section of the highway once a semester. The amount and types of garbage that we come across never ceases to amaze our members. It's a dirty task but one we take pride in.

We had 150 people attend the lecture.

 Partnered with CMU's health educator- This year we had the wonderful opportunity to work with our campus's health educator. She is often called upon to put on health educational sessions for various organizations or classes on campus. This year she offered our members a great opportunity to get real life experience by helping her put on these educational sessions. Members would go along with her to assist her with providing these groups with various health information. It was a great professional development experience and a great collaboration.

Epsilon Gamma – Monmouth University, Monmouth, NJ  Great American Smoke Out: This is an event that ESG takes part in annually. We team up with some of the faculty from the Office of Substance Abuse and the School of Nursing and Health Studies. This year we had a table in the Student Center and offered candy and t-shirts for students that turned in their cigarettes. We also had information available on the dangers of smoking and chewing tobacco. We were also able to borrow a breathing machine to show the level of CO2 in smoker’s lungs!  Induction: This year we were happy to induct seven new members to our chapter of ESG. We inducted our members on April 18, 2012. We had a beautiful ceremony in a clubhouse room in Magill Commons. The ceremony was attended by faculty and staff from the School of Nursing and Health Studies. We also had a small article published in the school paper announcing our new members.  Monmouth University Spring Health Fair: Dr. Beric, part of the School of Nursing, organizes a health fair every spring. Vendors from local health businesses and local hospitals come and network with MU students. ESG had a table at the event. We used it as a recruiting opportunity and had members at the table at all time interacting with Monmouth students. Members were also able to visit other tables to meet with potential employers.

Other Activities:  Fat Talk Free Week: Our advisor Dr. Hope brought Fat Talk Free week to Monmouth this year! ESG helped by tabling on the residential side of campus to help bring awareness to eating disorders and body dysmorphia. We had pamphlets supplied by the counseling center and t-shirts provided by Dr. Hope!  Blood Drive: Another service project that we helped with this year was a blood drive in honor of our fellow student Kelly Boozan. Kelly was burned in a freak accident the night before Halloween. ESG partnered with faculty from the Health Center to host this event.

In the fall I was interviewed and a column in the paper was published about ESG, The Great-American Smoke Out, and our perception of smoking on campus. In the spring a fellow officer constructed a small article which was included that updated the campus about our chapter.

Epsilon Delta – University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK Canada  Community Youth Challenge – The chapter assisted the Lung Association of Saskatchewan in redesigning the Community Youth Challenge; a health promotion activity that engages the Saskatchewan Roughriders (a professional Canadian Football team) to help promote respiratory health to schools across the province of Saskatchewan. Three Saskatchewan Roughrider players (Neal Hughes, Chris Milo and Scott McHenry) visited over 50 Saskatchewan schools education and inspiring youth to keep their lungs healthy. This year’s activity asked school kids to come up with innovative ideas and show how they can protect their lungs. Some ideas offered included a lung walk and several creative posters. To encourage participation, youth vouchers for Roughrider games were given to participating classes and the grand prize was an autograph session with the football team star players. Along with the graphic designer and the Lung Association of Saskatchewan staff, ESG students assisted in creating marketing and promotional materials to be distributed to schools. http//:www.sk.lung.ca/index.php/aboutus/cyc2012  Saskatoon Open Door Society – The chapter delivered a presentation on poisoning at the Saskatoon Open Door Society. The Saskatoon Open Door Society was established in 1980 as a centre to welcome and assist refugees and immigrants moving to Saskatoon. The presentation disseminated information to refugees and immigrants which centered on the sources of poisoning, signs and symptoms of poisoning, identification of labels (with poison and biohazard related symbols) as well as phone contact information of the poison control unit of Saskatchewan. http://sods.sk.ca/aboutus.aspx  White Buffalo Youth Lodge Research Project – Under the leadership of Dr. John Moraros as the Principal Investigator, and his ICAN Research Group, two ESG student members (Ms. Madhura Kulkarni and Ms. Kamalpreet Banga) were engaged in submitting a research proposal to the Indigenous People’s Health Research Center titled “White Buffalo Youth – Get Active.” It proposes to offer health promotion activities centered on physical activity, healthy eating habits and healthy lifestyle choices in a supportive community setting such as the one afforded by White Buffalo Youth Lodge so as to have a positive effect on the fitness and health of Aboriginal youth, ages 6-13 years old.

What is a concern of your chapter?  Retaining members and having continuity, because so many members initiate right before they graduate.  Leadership recruitment and retention.  Recruiting graduate students for membership.  A major concern for us is being able to afford to go to a conference.  Our major concern is recruiting new members.  The numbers of our chapter are consistently increasing each year, so finding events and activities to accommodate such a large number of people is a challenge. It can sometime be hard, too, with such a large chapter to meet everyone's needs and accommodate for the busy schedules. We had a successful year despite these challenges.  Raising money for the chapter.  We had some issues with lack of participation by the middle of spring semester. We think it might be related to too much fundraising. New leadership team will meet in the fall and discuss ways to get more members to be active.  Scheduling of meetings to get members involved. We have plans for next year to work on this and to increase our finances. Our chapter was inactive too long and the bank closed our account.  Our chapter’s major concern is to help out with different events such as Kick Butts Day, Relay for Life; flu shot clinics, and blood donations. We also really like that our chapter consists of health majors and minors because it helps us with our networking within our major and our minor.  Health promotion and health education awareness.  Our main concern is to keep the membership of the chapter high and encourage active participation of current members.  Mostly commuter students who do not want to become involved. However, some of the initiates are members of the Health Science Club, which is active on campus.  Fundraising so that we can offset costs of conferences, travel, etc.  Keeping momentum going year to year. Most of our active members are graduating seniors so we are challenged to recruit enthusiastic officers as each group graduates.  Recruitment and retention, but we have gotten a lot better. Additionally, we are also trying to find more efficient ways to raise funds.  Getting members to the meetings.  We struggled greatly from lack of finances this year.  The only concern our chapter has is trying to increase the participation rate in events so more members are active.  Our major concern is to provide education overall to fellow students on campus as well as in the community. We would like to continue to provide teachings and volunteer help when needed in any health capacity.  To implement fundraising and awareness for health related issues  The major concern of our chapter is the recruitment and retaining of prospective members. While our Community Health program at Baylor is growing, it is difficult for us to obtain feedback from prospective members about what they would like to see from Eta Sigma Gamma.  Maintaining active members.  Expanding outreach- teaching at public schools.  Expanding earlier to new majors.  Funding and knowledge of State and National events for members to participate in.  The major concern for our chapter is participation. We are still a very small chapter so it was a goal of this year’s officers to increase recruitment efforts to try and bring in younger members. A secondary concern that should be taken into consideration for next year is the amount of officers in place. This year we had too many members as officers, some of which did not participate in an effective manner. It would probably be better for a chapter of our size to have two or three officers.

What can the National Office do to make your chapter more effective?  The National Office can provide assistance by providing guidance in developing, organizing, and implementing a research symposium hosted by Alpha Alpha where other ESG chapters are invited and give oral/poster presentations.  Leadership training seminars, meetings for faculty advisors and members of the local chapter executive board.  Send information regarding how to apply for funding.  Update the National Chapter website.  Help with fundraising ideas.  Any information on what other chapters are doing to recruit members would be beneficial.  Provide insight to what other chapters around the nation are doing- this can help with creating activities and also making connections with other chapters doing similar events. Also providing training for leadership positions would be beneficial.  Keep up the good work - thanks for the assistance in getting materials to us so quickly.  Keep offering the support to chapters by way of assistance both in information and financially.  Get students more involved with ESG events.  I think the National Office could give us a little more money to help out our chapter financially. The national office can help give us money so we can send or members to various organizations, conventions, and meetings to talk about Eta Sigma Gamma.  We would like a list of potential activities that other chapters have been involved with so we can expand our volunteer options and service opportunities.  Check in with individual chapters during the year to see what they are doing and need advice for.  You are already very helpful. Thank you for all that you do.  Make chapter forms and applications easier to submit.  Help in providing guidance in how to engage members to come to the meetings.  Lowering national fees would help our chapter get extra funding. Opening up more scholarship opportunities would help our members.  There is nothing that our chapter asks of the National Office at this time.  Become more involved with the individual chapters and their goals for the overall organization.  I think that the national office can establish some sort of means for collegiate chapters to effectively communicate with one another and exchange ideas. I think that the national office has done a great job of communicating necessary information with the chapters and disseminating all of the necessary materials.  We feel that there is a good information flow from the National Chapter.  The most beneficial for our chapter would be to keep in more direct communication about changes in policies and procedures. Furthermore, it would be helpful if there were more communication between.

Other Comments?  Thank you so much for the national funds to run our Safe Spring Break program. It was a huge success and we hope to be able to continue it in future years.  Our goal is to continue to grow as a chapter. We are also looking forward to attending more conferences, increasing membership, having our 2nd "Walk for the Health of It" campaign, and implementing a Peer Mentoring Program within the Health department in order to assist students in achieving their goals and graduating with higher GPA's.  Thank you for your continued support.
