8 features April 29,1998 -^Carolinian What it Means to be Greek by Karen Koehler What does it mean to be Greek? Is it just an opportunity to hang around, drink, and party with a bunch of strangers that you are automatically supposed to consider your brothers or sisters? Many students on Western's campus would disagree. Greek members must constantly face a stereotype that non-members do not have to face. They very often are not taken seriously. With the media being the major contributors, society has created an image that is totally fictional. Greek organizations are seen to be nothing more than drinking clubs. While it is true that Greeks, just like other students, do have a good time, they also do much more. Most Greek organizations have a national philanthropy for which the local chapter raises money for some charitable cause. For example, Zeta Tau Alpha fraternity raises money each year for the Women's Breast Foundation. Pi Kappa Phi fraternity raises money for handicapped children, PUSH America. Members find different means of raising money for their philanthropies. Ideas range from can shakes to car washes, rock-a-thons, blood drives, sleeping on a scaffold for days until a certain amount of money is reached, sleeping out for the homeless, and selling rubber ducks to float down a river. Incentives might be offered to get the student body to participate, but all proceeds go to the philanthropy. Volunteering their help in the community, Greek members like to keep active with services. Volunteer work can include Adopt-a-Highway road clean-up, blood drives, item donations to less fortunate families, baby-sitting services for working mothers, the Tuckaseigee River clean-up, and Big Brother/Big Sister programs for the youth. After all the work is said and done, members of the Greek system enjoy having fun. Social events can include mixers, formals, restricted open parties for the students of Western, tri-mixers, and date parties. These events provide Greek members with a means of unwinding, having fun, and socializing. Since Greek organizations are considered to be "social organizations," they definitely enjoy socializing. Social skills acquired and used while in a fraternity or sorority are skills that can be applied later on in life, especially in the corporate world. Attending the above-listed events help Greek members polish their social skills. As you can see, being Greek is not all about being a sloppy drunk in a toga swinging from the rafters. It's about gaining the complete college experience. A student was asked why he or she chose to become Greek after attending V^cstefn'fbf tlVfeeycais non-Greek. His/her response? "Becoming an active member of the Greek community was a way for that last puzzle piece of my college life to be put into place. I didn't do it because I didn't have friends, or because I was bored, or even because I wanted to fit in. I did it to complete me, to become a part of something that I would only have the opportunity to belong to once in my life." Lambda Chi Alpha member Dave Long said, "It exposed me to the diversity of a college campus that I otherwise wouldn't have had." Phi Mu member Carrie Brown had similar feelings. "It was an opportunity to build lasting friendships as well as expand my horizons as a human being." For more information about Greek life, contact the Student Development office at 227-7440. Ducky Derby Days Scheduled for May 2nd Members of the Sigma Chi brotherhood spent April 5-25 selling over 200 rubber duckies. On Saturday May 23, the ducks will race down the Tuckaseigee River on a halt-a-mile stretch in front of the Sigma Chi land at 10 a.m. The prizes are first place $100, second place $50, and third place $25. All proceeds go to the Children's Miracle Network. The Sigma Chi's second annual Rubber Ducky Derby is a fund-raiser the brothers do to raise money for the Children's Miracle Network. The Children's Miracle Network is an organization that helps sick children. The Kappa Gamma chapter of Sigma Chi has raised over $400 so far. Members of the fraternity set up a booth in front of Dodson cafeteria where they sold duckies throughout the day to students, faculty, administration, and members in the community. The ducks were $3 for one and $5 for two. After purchasing a duck the owner could decorate it with markers, paints, and anything else. Many buyers wrote their fraternity or sorority letters or nicknames. Some athletes wrote their jersey number on their duck. Rubber Ducky Derby T-shirts were also sold for $12. Some of the sponsors for the race are O'Malleys, Jack the Dipper, Budweiser, Southern Lumber, Dillsboro Kitchen, and the Tackle Shop. Chuck Brown, fund-raiser chairman, said, "The whole fraternity is glad that so many students and businesses are supporting this worthy cause. Anyone who wants to purchase a duck or shirt should contact Chuck Brown at 293-7771 by Friday May 15." Fraternity Walks To Aid Pediatric Tumor Research by Kevin Collins, Sigma Nu Fraternity Brothers of the Kappa Phi chapter of the Sigma Nu fraternity at Western Carolina University took part in the fifth annual Duke Walk for Pediatric Brain Tumor Research held April 18. The brothers of Kappa Phi raised over 800 dollars this year, with the year's grand total topping $75,000. Since the inception of the Walk, Kappa Phi brothers have raised over $7,000 for the program. The involvement of Kappa Phi brothers in the Walk was born from the memory and is continued in honor of Christopher Thomas Cash. Cash, a brother of the Kappa Phi Chapter, died in the summer of 1994 due to cancer from a brain tumor shortly after the first annual Walk. This semester Kappa Phi Chapter is introducing a $500 memorial scholarship in honor of Cash, the CTC. This is the second scholarship which will be offered to Kappa Phi brothers. The first is the Richard Thomas Ruhlman Memorial Scholarship worth $1;000.
