Omega Delta Phi continues the legacy for improvement and community initiative. Each semester O-D-Phi is dedicated to concerns and needs of the community. For our brotherhood to continue its basic necessities each semester, a need for funding is required. With that, Omega Delta Phi held its first Spaghetti Plate Sale. This plate sale was a great success. With tickets sales over 150, we were able to complete another semesters budget and uphold our integrity to the needs of the community. We would like to thank all those who helped with fundraiser and hope that you will continue to be loyal to help us fulfill our fraternal goals and mission.

Every year, Greek Life sponsor an event call Christmas in Quad. Between all Greek organizations this event is a time where members of the St. Mary’s community gather to celebrate the holiday season and spread the cheer to other families who are less fortunate. We decorated a Christmas wreath as well as a $10.00 gift card to Wal-Mart that the family will receive with the wreath.

Boo Bash

Every year the brothers of Omega Delta Phi Alpha Pi participate in Boo Bash. Boo Bash is a University wide service event, hosted by RHA (Resident Hall Association), that provides the surrounding community a safe environment to trick or treat. The event is held in pecan grove, there are small carnival games for the children and is where the tours start for the halls. Some resident’s halls are turned into haunted houses and others kid friendly corridors. Omega Delta Phi was placed in charge of registering the participants in before they are sent to the several halls. We enjoy volunteering for this event. Congratulations to RHA for having another successful Boo Bash.

Juvenile Diabetes Week

Every year the Brothers of Alpha Pi host a variety of events in order to raise funds to donate to JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation).

JDRF is the leader in research leading to a cure for type 1 diabetes in the world. It sets the global agenda for diabetes research, and is the largest charitable funder and advocate of diabetes science worldwide. The mission of JDRF is to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that strikes children and adults suddenly, and can be fatal. Until a cure is found, people with type 1 diabetes have to test their blood sugar and give themselves insulin injections multiple times or use a pump - each day, every day of their lives.

This year we raised $260 towards the children and research. It’s important to us that we do what we can to spread awareness about diabetes and support research. It breaks our hearts to imagine that children have to suffer everyday by dealing with diabetes. This year we set Oct. 13 - 17 as Juvenile Diabetes Week. We held tables in the University Center Atrium with information about JDRF. To change things up, on Quad Friday Oct 15. we rented a Dunk Tank in order to help collect donations and spread awareness. That same day we also cooked hot dogs in order to invite people to walk; which is our main event.

JDRF San Antonio holds a 5k walk at the Alamodome and we try to have a large team to show St. Mary’s support for the cause. We would like to give thanks to the Ladies of Delta Zeta for joining us on the walk. At 7:30 am we met in front of AACC (aka Gym) where we provided snacks and we departed for the walk at 8:00 am. A majority of our brothers left earlier at 5:30 am in order to help setup the walk. Overall we had very successful event and would like to thank all those who we’re apart of our cause; especially SGA (Student Government Association) we couldn’t have done it without you.
