Greek parties aid charities
By KAREN MASSMAN
Associate Entertainment Editor
At the University of Kansas most fraternities and sororites associate themselves with a particular philanthropy, a charitable action. It is part of being a member of their national organizations.
Although an institution or organization, chosen by the individual groups, benefits from the philanthropy usually by a monetary donation from a fraternity or sorority, it also creates the opportunity for more social events.
In an effort to raise money for a charity, the fraternities and sororites often sponsor parties or competitive games that are open to the public and charge an admission fee. Thus, they offer for their philanthropy and bring together a variety of students.

said people didn't really associate Wheat Meet, their fund raiser for the University of Kansas Cancer Research Center, with their organization or their co-people the Chi Omega people. The Wheat Meet is a big party at KU that all the fraternities have, Bukaty said.
The AKL members began raising money for cancer research after a member died of cancer four years ago.
This year, the Fourth Annual Wheat Meet party will take place Sept. 8 at Burge Union. The bands Steve, Bob and Rich and Undisns will perform from 7 p.m. to midnight. Strohs Beer, a sponsor of the party, cannot legally donate the beer that will be available at the party, but the company is making a monetary donation.
THE TRACK MEME will begin at 9 p.m. on Sept. 22 at Memorial Stadium. Any interested athlete may enter.

Admission to Wheat Meet events will be $3.50 for advance tickets
The American Red Cross benefits from the annual Pikefest, which will be Sept. 7. It is a party sponsored by the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity.
Every day, a day of competitive games followed by a party, which is sponsored by the Sigma Chi fraternity, is being planned for late September or early October. For years, before a member of the fraternity,
The band The Click, part of the Miller Tour, will perform at the Pikefest, and beer will be provided from 3.0 m, to midnight.
Tickets will be $3 if purchased in advance and $4 the day of the party.
Proceeds from the day will go to Wallace Village, a home for mentally handicapped and retarded people that is financed and staffed by members of the national chapter of Sigma Chi.

REASON#2 TO CALL A FRIEND:
YOURSANITY.
Sometimes it feels like the only person you can really talk to is yourself
College life can have an unsettling effect on your state of mind. From sitting in strange classes to living with even stranger people.
Well, you know what they say about people who talk to themselves. So call an old friend instead.
Even if your friends are far away, they still know you and care about you. And they won't judge you by your choice of major or the condition of your laundry.
Calling a friend is the best therapy for the money, too. Call after 11 PM weeknights or between 11 PM Friday and 5 PM Sunday when rates are the lowest.
tates are the sweetest. So call a friend or two, and tell them just how crazy it's been. You'll be surprised how sane it can make you feel.
