ADPicnic

On Wednesday September 27, 2017 the Delta Delta Chapter of Alpha Delta Pi hosted our annual ADPicnic event from 6 to 8 PM. This event was put on by our philanthropy chair Meg Plank, who is so passionate about Ronald McDonald House Charities we call her Ronald ‘Meg’ Donald.

Everyone was invited to come out and help raise money for RMHC, including one of the Razorback football captains and Greek Life officers, who volunteered to be in the dunk tank. Ireland Robertson, a freshman ADPi stated, “I loved getting to see so many parts of not only Greek life, but campus as well, come together to help raise money for our philanthropy.”

Together we raised about $8,000! All of the proceeds went toward RMHC, which is a home away from home for the families of sick children. RMHC provides a place to stay, along with meals and other necessities for the families so they can stay close with their child while they are receiving the care they need.

ADPicnic is just one of the many ways ADPi supports RMHC throughout the year. Members also visit families and children just to hangout, donate items in need and make and deliver meals each month. We have 2 locations we can visit in North West Arkansas, one in Rogers and the newly opened Ronald McDonald House at the Washington Regional Hospital here in Fayetteville. This is one of the many reasons I, and many of my sisters love our philanthropy, because we get to personally see how we are impacting the lives of others.

We also hold other events such as ADPi Chili Dinner and percentage nights at local restaurants.

Delta Delta chapter plans on having more philanthropy events throughout the semester. We hope to see you there!
