Organization of the Year!
AP (St. Louis, MO) – For the second time in five years, the Pi-Lambda Zeta of Lambda Chi Alpha has won the St. Louis College of Pharmacy Organization of the Year Award. Presented tonight at the STLCOP Top100 Dinner, several Brothers were on hand for the award presentation. “I couldn’t believe it when I heard it. I was so surprised and happy at the same time,” said James Houpt, 5th year.
The Award which is sponsored by Shop N’ Save Pharmacy comes with a $1,000 stipend which will come in handy as budgets get tighter every year. “We’ll definitely put this money to good use. We have a Brotherhood Retreat coming up, so that will allow us to put our minds together to find the best way to use this money in our community with some going to charity and perhaps a little bit for a rainy day. I’ve the the joy-joy down in my heart!” said Brian Scholfield, 3rd year and Chapter President.
Pi-Lambda Zeta last won the Organization of the Year Award in 2004 under the watchful eyes of High Alpha Brandon Eldridge. “It was a different time then,” said Eldridge, 5th year, “There was 19 of us when we won the award, and we all lived in the dorms. I’m proud that the tradition of winning [and rocking out] continues.”
Watermelon Bash Declared A Success
On April 24, 2008 the Brothers of Lambda Chi Alpha Pi-Lambda Zeta held the Inaugural Watermelon Bash on the St. Louis College of Pharmacy Campus in the Central West End of St. Louis, Missouri.
The Watermelon Bash was held to raise money and non-perishable food for Lambda Chi Alpha’s International Philanthropic Event, the North American Food Drive, held every November. The NAFD was first held in 1993 and to-date has raised more than 27 million pounds of food for needy families across North America. The event is the largest single-day philanthropic event held by a collegiate organization ever. The proceeds of the Bash went to the Arnold Food Pantry.
Through the hard work and effort of everyone
involved, Lambda Chi Alpha raised 6,015 pounds of food!
In addition to the success of the Watermelon Bash, the Brothers of Lambda Chi Alpha were visited by KTVI – Fox 2‘s TIM EZELL (Tim’s Travels) . Tim arrived on campus at 7am and a “Mock” Watermelon Bash was held with a Live Feed directly to the morning news show in the St. Louis Area. You can view all THREE Videos HERE. Or, all three videos are embedded below (and on YouTube).
Everyone that attended the Watermelon Bash is requested to fill out a short Survey about the days events.
