Fraters Work with SADD to Raise Awareness

HAMDEN, Conn. - Last week, hundreds of students crowded Alumni Hall at Quinnipiac University in search for new ways to get involved this semester. Around 50 clubs and organizations were present, including SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) and the Kappa Psi Chapter.

Michelle LaPoint, a sophomore veterinary technician major and President of SADD, hosted the table, where there were pictures of the drunk driving demonstration last semester and "SADD" pencils and stickers that they received from the national organization. Lapointe has been a member for a year and a half and says the reason she joined was "to help people make the right choices."

Every fall semester, SADD works with the Kappa Psi Chapter to demonstrate the mock drunk-driving car crash.

They explained that all members had to get up at 7:30 that morning for makeup and to start the production at 11. The chapter sees this as a small step toward an end to a big problem across the nation.

The Offices of the Grand Chapter extend a heartfelt congratulations to the men of Kappa Psi Chapter for their continued support of such a worthy cause. These men exemplify many of the cornerstone principles of TKE, including Service. If you would like to get a similar program started on your campus, contact the TKE International Headquarters for more information.
