“We chose to bring goats to campus to offer students a new way to destress and relax, but they are also a model of sustainability,” junior Environmental Studies major Connor Caruso said. “Offering this program was a way to mix our social justice and sustainability mindset with the events of wellness week.” “I thought it was cool being able to do yoga with goats,” freshman journalism major Joe Wojtkowski said. “At parts it might have been a little distracting because you want them to come over to you and jump on you and be able to pet them, but it was still really cute.” The two hour long sessions with Ivy, Anthony and Bebito were sponsored by The Philly Goat Project. The Philadelphia-based organization offers sendees to promote respect towards animals, overall well-being and to introduce agriculture to an urban environment. “Goats are one of my favorite animals, so being able to do yoga with them was really relaxing,” Scotty Murphy, a sophomore English major said. Along with dogs and horses, goats are well-known to be therapy animals. As Temple students de-stressed, the goats enjoyed playing with new people. For students who did not have the chance to participate in yoga, Goat Chillin’ took place in between sessions in front of the Paley Library. With a playpen set up for the goats, students were able to watch, socialize and take pictures with the friendly creatures in between classes. “It what I’ve always dreamed of,” freshman Media Studies and Production major Bekah Santos said. “I waited the whole yoga session to actually watch them and when I got to hang out with them, that made me so happy.” 15

Even Nuri Bracey, the only active mem- ber on campus of the Epsilon Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., made sure his organization’s presence was felt at the event by inviting a local chapter from Lincoln University to show what it means to be a Sigma man. However, Meet the Greeks is far from a competition. “This event is so important to students on campus because it shows unity, Dante Moreno, president of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. and NPHC, said. “We’re all different organizations but it shows that we’re one council that supports each other.” Every member has his or her own personal reasons for pledging his or her respective sorority or fraternity. “I joined my sorority because I really felt connected to the missions and goals of the organization, Lauren Smith, president of the Epsilon Delta Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc, said. “I’ve had a lot of women who are Deltas involved in my life. I’ve seen the amazing work they’ve done in the community and they’ve really impacted me in a heavy way. 17
