Tridelts share green message with Greek community
Delta Delta Delta has decided to share their go green experience and enthusiasm with other members of the UW Greek community by creating the week-long “Greeks Go Green” event. Although the event is still in the planning stage, the idea is to create different events that will be held each day of the week, with a specific focus on improving the environment.
“Greeks Go Green” will kick-off on a Monday with a community block party, which will raise awareness of the event and issues that the week will focus on such as recycling, sustainable practices and conservation.
Going green means getting dirty
This Saturday, Delta Delta Delta members will put on a pair of sweatpants and roll up their sleeves to complete a day of volunteering with the “Clean and Green Seattle” organization.
According to the City of Seattle Web site, “Clean and Green Seattle” bring people together to make Seattle a brighter and cleaner place to live. The goal of the project is connect people with their city’s departments, non-profit organizations and private enterprises to make Seattle a more enjoyable place for everyone.
A change in the water
Thanks to Tridelta’s environmentally conscious member development chair, Susan Daaga, Theta Alpha has joined the UW’s Greener Greeks project.
The Greener Greeks project was created to educate students about energy and water efficiency and creates ways to further seek environmentally friendly change, a UW Daily article by Edwin Ortiz explained.
