Delta Zeta’s Teeter-Totter-A-Thon

I have stopped by Delta Zeta’s Teeter-Totter-A-Thon the last couple of days. I am a huge fan of social causes and I hope they were successful. I even entered to win some of their raffle prizes and picked up a “friendship” bracelet (nice touch ladies).

A little about the event itself:
“Every Spring semester, the Xi Lambda Chapter of Delta Zeta hosts its annual philanthropy event called Teeter Totter A Thon. During the course of this event the our sisters take shifts to teeter totter on sea-saws in the main plaza of the campus for a total of 48 hours. The chapter hosts a barbecue, concerts and raffle during Teeter Totter A Thon. The proceeds are donated to the Speech and Hearing Center of Northern California. To find out more about Xi Lambda at USF, check out our website at http://www.deltazetausf.com/index.html.”

USF Umthombo Club

Had the fantastic opportunity to attend a screening about street childern in South Africa put on by USF’s Umthombo Club

“With the former street children behind the camera, director Billy Raftery’s Children Rise provides an authentic and intimate look into the lives of Durban’s street children. In search of a better life, these kids find only a world of prostitution, drug addiction and extreme violence.”

Check out the website and trailer here.

It is great to be in an environment where people have a concern for causes that are hard to relate to themselves and especially coming from such a rich country like the United States. I have to say that this is one of the reasons that I love college and the University of San Francisco. While your at it join Umthombo’s Facebook group so you can get the updates.
