Delta Zeta will host its annual spring dance Thursday in the Student Center ballroom from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. Called the Enchanted Dance, the theme is “Into the Woods.” All proceeds go to The Painted Turtle, Delta Zeta’s national service project.
The Painted Turtle supports children’s medical needs, inspires them to reach beyond their illnesses, and provides care, education and respite for their families.
The attire is semi-formal. Tickets purchased before the dance cost $6 per person and $10 per couple. At the door, tickets will cost $8 per person and $12 per couple.
“The proceeds we made from lasts year’s dance were able to build a cabin at one of The Painted Turtle camps,” said Allison Schieber, president of the Northwestern chapter.
The first hour of the dance is dedicated to the Alva community and any Northwestern personnel who want to bring their families to dance. Kid-friendly music will be played to let parents enjoy a night out with their families. After 8 p.m., the music will cater to the college-age demographic.
“We want to be involved with not only the campus, but also the community,” Schieber, a photographer for the Northwestern News, said. “We thought it would give parents an opportunity to dress up and do something fun with their family.”
The Delta Zeta sorority is the only Greek life group on Northwestern’s campus.
The Northwestern chapter hosts two fundraising events during the school year: its annual rose sale for Valentine’s Day and the spring dance.
Recruitment efforts will take place in the fall 2023 semester, where potential members can ask questions and get to know current Delta Zeta members.
