CITIZENSHIP.
To me citizenship is helping our community in a positive aspect. Helping others in every way is citizenship. Respect even counts too.
Paying forward is a great example of citizenship. It's our way of giving to society.
BUT my biggest link to helping our community is through my membership with Alpha Gamma Delta.
Greek life in general helps out the community a lot through our volunteering and our philanthropy projects.
Alpha Gamma Delta has our annual DODGE for DIABETES dodgeball tournament. The money we raise goes towards The Diabetes Foundation and the AGD Foundation. Another thing we do is help support and volunteer the JDRF (juvenile diabetes research foundation) walk. It's amazing how much we can contribute. I had no idea.
The women in our sorority do many things on our own. I personally volunteer at the OSU Med Center each week. Others may help out younger members with homework or just life. That contributes as well. Together we can accomplish so much!
No act is too big or too small. We should each do our part and serve our community. :)
HAPPY LAST WEEK & GOOD LUCK ON FINALS!!!!
