This past Saturday, University of Montevallo greek chapters Lamda Chi and ADPi put on a fall festival by combining two charity events.
Alpha Delta Pi had their 'Trunk or treat' in the parking lot beside the river that runs through Orr park. They raised donations for their philanthropy "Ronald Mcdonald House".
This charity provides families that have children in the hospital with a cheaper alternative than paying for an expensive hotel. The girls decorated their trunks like various monsters and spooky places so that trick or treaters would come visit to get some candy.
Lamda Chi had their annual pumpkin fest just across the river. There were piles of pumpkin remains after many many people swung baseball bats at the orange targets. Dakota Patrick, Lamda Chi's vice chair organized the event and was pleased with the turn out.
"Its been a really good turn out we got more
people out here than we were anticipated, which is good.” Their philanthropy was for "feeding America". By collecting dry foods and canned goods the fraternity was able to help out the community even farther than letting them relieve stress by smashing some pumpkins.
