Multicultural Food Fest

On Thursday, we had our Multicultural Food Fest. It was in honor of homecoming, and it brought together a diverse group of organizations. The food was good . . and lasted about 20 minutes!!! Here are some memories that I think represent this experience well, and bring out Tulane’s multi ehtnic student group.

This is the representation from the Asian American Student Union. Here at Tulane, what the actual color of your skin is doesn’t matter at all. What does matter is the interest you have in learning about other cultures. We’re very open and all of our multicultural groups have members of widely varying backgrounds.








These are girls from my sorority, Delta Xi Nu. We are the only multicultural Greek body on campus, and just by looking at us, you can tell that we’re a very diverse group of girls. But sisterhood ultimately brings us together, and we learn about each others’ cultures in the process!









Here’s our poster!














My friends Jacob and Annabelle goofing around. She’s eating this interesting macaroni and cheese with some spices in it . . .












These freshman are all in the India Association of Tulane University. They signed up for it at the ACTIVITIES EXPO, where all the multicultural groups are represented by booths. Their executive boards sit at the booths and try to get members to sign up. In several of these groups, you can be on the email listserv without paying dues (which means you can even be invited to events without paying dues, which are usually only $10 anyways). That way, you can choose to pay for whatever events YOU want to do.




And this is the girl who made it all possible in terms of this Food Fest- Sarah Chiapetta. She’s on the Homecoming Committee this year.
