On November 3rd, Zeta Chi Epsilon was making stacks on stacks...of pancakes! This sorority that I "sweetheart" for has a fundraiser every semester for our philanthropy, The Child Advocacy Center in Rocky Mount. The fundraiser is called Stacks for the Kids. It's held in Confetti's, which is on the bottom floor of Bassett, a dorm on campus. Confetti's has everything from a kitchen to couches to big screen TVs! Tickets were sold in the Franklin Hall atrium for a couple of weeks before the event. A $2 ticket got the purchaser a plate of three pancakes or wait what...three waffles! Tickets became $3 at the door, $1 for another plate once they were there, and 100% of the proceeds went to the philanthropy.
The night started off wonderfully with the Bassett fire alarm going off at 7 p.m. (the intended start time of the fundraiser), but finally we were able to get back down there and keep cooking! ZXE provided all of the toppings, such as butter, syrup, whipped cream, strawberries, bananas, and even had coffee with all of the fixings.
A wide variety of people showed up, from students to professors to family, and at the end of the night, we raised enough money to donate $100 to the Child Advocacy Center of Rocky Mount. A professor who is on the Advising Panel for this organization said she could not have been more pleased with what we were doing and how much it meant to her and the children.Overall, the night was filled with fun and excitement, as well as the joy of knowing we were doing something good for others just like Ferrum's motto says: "Not Self, But Others." So be on the lookout each semester here on out for campus mail talking about Stacks for the Kids, and I hope to see everyone there!
