Zeta Beta
Sister Jasmine “Pureza� Flores The Zzzzealous Zeta Beta Chapter at Sam Houston State University hosted the 9th annual Buy Your Own Valentine Date Auction on February 11, 2014. This annual event is hosted with three goals. Goal one is to raise breast cancer awareness. Goal two is to raise funds for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Finally, goal three is to help people find a Valentine. Months preceding the event, each sister was encouraged to find at least three volunteers and to volunteer themselves to be auctioned off. The week of the event there was a total of 45 people who volunteered themselves to be a part of the auction. The event began with a documentary of a breast cancer survivor. After giving a short bio of the participant and what they were looking for in a partner, the bidding begins. The bids started at $5 and increased to $75 for a member of Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Inc., and $50 for a member of our brother organization, Sigma Lambda Beta International Fraternity, Inc. After the event, participants and their dates were invited to dinner provided by the chapter. The event was a success! With the help of students at SHSU, including members of every council on campus, we were able to raise $1,200 dollars, which will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. For the upcoming year we hope to be just as successful, if not more, with a new goal of $1,500. We also aim to continue raising awareness here at Sam Houston State University.
