The effort or inclination to increase the well be- ing of mankind, as by charitable aid or donations. 2. Love of man- kind in general. 3. An action or institution designed to promote human welfare fAm6II'C3H Heri- tage Dictionary j. Philanthropy and Greek life are words not often associated with each other. Now party and Greeks? Yes. But Philanthropy? Well, Philanthropy and Greeks should be associated - a lot of hard work and care from Greeks have helped raise money to fight muscular dystrophy, to aid the Ga- tesway Foundation of Broken Ar- row and to help children's cancer research. It doesn't stop there. Philanthropy All AXA Time For Others Greek volunteers have helped tutor students at the Frances Wil- lard Home for Girls and Kendall Elementary School. Special times have been spent with young people at the Tulsa Boys Home, the Little Lighthouse and the Children's Medical Center. Greeks have ac- tively participated in the Green Country Big Brothers program, an- swered calls at telethons and spon- sored blood drives for the Red Cross. As one philanthropy chair- man summed it up, Everyone works together to help people be- sides themselves. Service projects to raise money range from tub-a-thons to the usual standby: the carwash. Some events are more creative than oth- ers. The ladies of Delta Gamma hold their Anchor Splash every year to raise money for the Delta Gamma National Foundation to aid the blind. This year the DG's had a sexiest eyes contest and swimming events. jim Dilley was named Mr, Anchor Splash. Volunteers soaked in the annual Kappa Sigma Tub-A-Thon. The event, held during the house-spon- sored Olympics, lasted more than 97 hours. The money it raised from pledges and donations was given to the Gatesway Foundation of Broken Arrow. The Sigma Chi fraternity raised money to benefit the Cleo Wallace Village for emotionally disturbed and mentally handicapped children by hosting a Trampoline-A-Thon All during Derby Days. Volunteer: from each of the sorority houses as well as Sigma Chi's, jumped on z trampoline 24 hours a day. Tri-Delta sorority held a Putt Putt golf tournament to raise mona ey for children's cancer research. Lambda Chi Alpha and Kappa Alpha both hosted competitions tc benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association.

When Hunger Strikes is everyone knows, a sweet th is an urgent matter, not easily Jred, with no conception of ez a dilemma Wendy Shaffer is iliar with when she says, Ice .m, 24-hours a day! 'U students will go to any gth to satisfy it. Some head to ,1m's while visions of sundaes ce in their heads. Perhaps the of of collective unconscious in the surprise of seeing several if TU students there with the e idea. Other more adventur- students head to Tippin's at and Memorial for a piece of k bottom or French silk pie. It would be impossible for some people to imagine sitting through a lecture without their favorite can- dy. Forjanet Thomas, who says her favorite food is sugar, particularly Snickers bars, a treat gets to be a ritual, something you can look for- ward to when you go to class. The more yuppy consumer finds his way to the candy counter to in- dulge in jelly belly candies of un- expected flavors such as pina co- lada. Those with aggresive tenden- cies prefer the rubber-confection- ary taste of gummy bears, always decapitating them before ingesting. The reasons used to justify this sweet tooth are as diverse as the ways it is satisfied. Sweets pro- vide a reward for a job well done and a consolation when things aren't so good. Sometimes they're even lunch. The best kind of sweets, though, are those from home. Students ea- gerly await the arrival of care pack- ages with all your favorites from home. If word leaks out, you are expected to share your good for- tune. Maybe, if you are lucky, your roommate will share his or her next package from home with you, too.

, it . Greek events such as the Lambda Chi Alpha Watermelonfest help bring TU students together. Sorority members and independents spend the day in friendly competition, like the banner contest. Members of Kappa Alpha Theta try to wow the men of Sigma Chi during the fraternity's annual Derby Days. We all like to do things that are fun, but, at the same time, help others.
