Episode 5:  Alcohol Awareness Week

Tuesday, November 10, 2009
A couple of weeks back my Sorority and Delta Zeta Sorority hosted alcohol awareness programs through the week.

These were not your typical alcohol awareness programs, they were fun and interactive and some even said life changing.

First we set up a room full of obstacle courses :) Student's were asked to go through the courses with beer goggles on! Seems easy, it sure didn't look like it!

At one point we allowed participants to race through the obstacle courses on with the goggles and everyone in the room got up to play...there were people falling and running into things all over the place! But everyone agreed it was a very fun experience to participate in and watch!

We also had a more serious aspect of the program where a health expert, police officer, and student who had dealt with a tragedy due to Driving under the Influence came to speak. This gave students an emotional ride when considering what could happen when you misuse alcohol and I think this is a topic everyone could consider.

I wanted to share this experience with you guys because it was one of our best events so far and I hope that you will also take part in putting on or participating in such events during your soon-to-be college years :)

Have a great day!!!
