The Greek community at the University of Cincinnati has been very busy lately. This past spring semester was filled with amazing events and fundraisers in the Greek community. I was able to interview a girl from each sorority on campus about events that happened this semester in their chapter. The University of Cincinnati's Greek life has made many impacts on their philanthropy and the community not only this semester, but the whole year.
1. Kappa Alpha Theta
Kappa Alpha Theta raised just under $1,000 during their famous grilled cheese sale. Theta also had their sisterhood spring treat, which consisted of a grill out at their sorority house. Recently, they had their senior send off and scholarship dinner. Overall, Theta reported they had a fabulous year, winning overall premier chapter and the highest GPA for the fall semester. Congrats, ladies!
2. Gamma Phi Beta
Gamma Phi Beta recently had their senior week to celebrate its graduating seniors. Gamma Phi had their spring formal at The Redmoor. Congrats to the ladies of Gamma Phi who raised their GPA to third highest out of all the sororities! For their sisterhood retreat this semester, Gamma Phi had a mystery dinner and painted pottery at The Pottery Place. Gamma Phi has their philanthropy event, Girls on the Run, coming up in May and are looking forward to cheering on the young girls and sisters who are running in the race.
3. Kappa Kappa Gamma
Kappa Kappa Gamma told me about all of the great things happening in their sorority. They recently went to an elementary school and read to third graders. They were also able to do crafts with them. Lauren, the member I spoke with said it was really fun and an awesome experience. Kappa also had their Parent's Day this semester. Lauren also said they had Keystone at their Parents Day, and that was her favorite part.

In Delta Delta Delta, they had their first annual March Madness this spring semester. They reported it was very successful, and they raised more than $4,000! Congrats to the women of Tri-Delt for such a successful fundraiser! For Mom's Day this semester, they went to the Candle Lab in Over-the Rhine. Tri-Delt had their spring formal at the Cincinnati Club and said it was a lot of fun.

They recently had formal at the Newport Syndicate in Kentucky. Chi Omega made an amazing achievement this semester after they granted their third wish in a row for their philanthropy, Make-A-Wish. Congrats to the ladies of Chi Omega for all their hard work!
