Brookfield Zoo and Guardian Angel

My sorority, Theta Kappa Pi, did so much over the last few weeks in Service. Being the Vice-President and Service chair for our organization means that I couldn't help but be so proud of my sisters when we all took the time to decorate a tree at Brookfield Zoo on November 19th. It has become a tradition over the last few years that the service chair uses  some of Theta's money as a donation for the zoo's annual Trim-a-Tree event. Basically the zoo plants a Christmas tree for you to decorate as recognition for the donation. Even though we would have donated the money even if the tree wasn't provided, my sisters and I enjoy making it pretty. This year was a combination of paper ornaments that we made and plastic globe ornaments that each sister customized. I wish we had put more on, but it was still a load of fun! We got to spend the rest of the day in the zoo and hang out. On a side note, Theta also spent the month of November running a donation drive for our main philanthropy services, Guardian Angel. Guardian Angel is a service shelter for women who are in or coming out of abusive relationships and need help. For the donation drive, Theta collected tons of hygiene products and cleaning supplies for the ladies to use. We boxed everything up and dropped it off! It was so successful and I am beyond happy that my sisters have such caring souls.
