University of Texas Austin - Cactus Yearbook (Austin, TX)

' ad. ^(bri^Jj . c, -l( Orange Jackets offered the community Orange Jackets The few, the proud, the Orange Jack- ets! This honorary society consisted of " some of the most outstanding girls on the UT campus, " Shanna Swendson, broadcast journalism senior, said. " We are mainly a service organization to the University and to the Austin commu- nity in general. Nothing we do is man- datory, but what you put in is what you get out of it. " Each Orange Jacket member put in many hours of volunteer work through- out the year. " Each girl has a contin- uous service project they are required to work on for at least an hour per week, " Anneke Schroen, Plan II senior, said. " They may choose to help out at the Huntington Art Gallery, tutor stu- dents at Maplewood Elementary School, aid the blind students of UT or work at the Austin Mental Hospital. " The Orange Jackets also worked on projects as a group. " We enjoyed hold- ing parties for Ramsey Place, our adopt- ed nursing home, during Halloween, Valentine ' s Day and other holidays, " Dina Thomas, marketing/finance jun- ior, said. Some members led Bible study groups or sponsored bingo games for the residents at Ramsey Place in ad- dition to their other projects. Another event the Orange Jackets participated at was the Goodwill Coats for Kids drive. The drive gave under- privileged children much-needed win- ter garments. Members also sponsored a Halloween carnival held at Brack- enridge Hospital. Service was an important part of be- ing an Orange Jacket. Laura Lynn Stovall, elementary education junior, said, " The things we do make us feel like we ' re really doing something on our own to help out. We do quality work that makes a difference.
