Alpha Phi held its first large-scale event on March 2 since the colonization of the chapter on campus in 2017. Alpha Phi Cardiac Arrest was a great success, raising around $28,000 in total. Donations were originally meant for the Alpha Phi Foundation, which supports women’s heart health; however, in Aileen Quinn’s honor, all proceeds were donated to Amnesty International.
As the final event of Love Your Heart Week, the Cardiac Arrest event was held in the Schaefer gymnasium. Participating organizations each had three representatives that participated in “Minute to Win It” challenges, such as blindfolded tic-tac-toe and the game “elephant trunk.” The aim was to win challenges to score points to “release” the presidents of participating organizations from “jail.”
The participating Greek organizations were fraternities Delta Tau Delta, Kappa Sigma, Beta Theta Pi, Alpha Sigma Phi, Lambda Upsilon Lambda, Sigma Nu, Theta Xi, and Phi Sigma Kappa, and sororities Phi Sigma Sigma, Sigma Delta Tau, and Theta Phi Alpha. Delta Tau Delta won first place in the competition, and Kappa Sigma collected the most donations through ticket and shirt purchases. President of Alpha Phi Nadia Hoellrigl thanked all those that showed support at the events during the week and looks forward to hosting the same event next year.
