Beautify Broadway

Anthony D’Angelo once said, “Without a sense of caring, there can be no sense of community.” Community was certainly the theme of today’s event: Beautify Broadway. About a hundred students of various backgrounds from various Greek organizations came out to support and clean up the street and surrounding areas. I mean, we all party there all the time, so we might as well clean it up, right?

It was a great day for being outside– not too sunny and just a little windy. The areas around Broadway were sectioned off per sorority/fraternity. It’s the first project in which I’ve participated as a Greek, and not specifically as a sister of Delta Xi Nu. My sorority was really outstanding today though. We don’t even have a house, as we’re a very small organization, yet we had a group out there cleaning up. We were out there with our fellow Greeks, scouring the streets for trash and debris. It was a new experience for me, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s not often that you see people cleaning up their mess and other peoples’ too. Today we were cleaning up for all the Greeks and non Greeks that tread Broadway every weekend.

I guess Anthony D’Angelo was right. Caring is community . . . . and we Greeks do care!
