Becoming the Best We Can Be
Lambda Eta is proud to support two spectacular organizations, known as our Local and National Philanthropies. Locally, we are very involved with Indian Trails Camp, a camp centered for children with disabilities, located right down the road on Lake Michigan Drive! Our chapter also fundraises throughout the year and donates our earnings to the National Arthritis Foundation, which raises awareness for all types of Arthritis.
The National Arthritis Foundation:
Lambda Eta works hard to spread the word on the severity of Arthritis disease. Particularly, we aim to make it known to many that Arthritis is not solely diagnosed to individuals of older age. In fact, there are several children who suffer with Arthritis Disease at an extreme level, as their ability to walk and play is significantly effected. We raise awareness to this disease by fundraising throughout the year. Some of our most famous annual events include Strike Out for Arthritis and AOII Goes Blue. At our Strikeout event, attendees can participate in games, while meeting sisters and learning more about the many effects of Arthritis. Meanwhile, AOII Goes Blue is a movement in which AOII presents the effects of Arthritis to students on GVSU's Campus, while representing the National Arthritis Foundation through our blue attire! Together, we know we can make a difference.
Indian Trails Camp:
Indian Trails Camp is an organization that is very close to our hearts. We plan group visits to the camp several times a year at which time our sisters get the oportunity to interact with the campers, help them make crafts, play fun games, swim, and even hold dance parties! In addition, our chapter hosts an annual Spaghetti Dinner every year. During this event, we invite students in the GVSU Greek Community and all over campus to come to our house and enjoy a delicious spaghetti dinner made with love by the sisters of AOII! The event is always a success, and all of the ticket proceeds for the Spaghetti Dinner go straight to Indian Trails Camp!
