With finals being next week, the Eta Xi chapter of Delta Sigma Theta hosted a stress free week for the campus to be able to take a moment to relax.
Monday, the ladies were in the Boiling University Center passing out free stress balls and healthy snacks.
“I don’t know why but this semester has been so stressful for many of my friends and peers. Our chapter felt that some leisure time was definitely needed. Events are free, we will have a few snacks and just allow the campus to relive some tension,” says senior Social Work major and financial secretary for the Eta Xi chapter, Kendall Ford.
On Tuesday, they were back in the University Center to host a game night in room 230. They had games such as Twister, Connect Four, Taboo, Monopoly and more.
“I really enjoyed relieving some stress last night playing Taboo and Uno with friends. With it being so close to finals, I think this was a great idea,” says senior Political Science major, Amber Sherman.
To wrap up the organization’s stress-free semi-week, they held a movie night in Gooch auditorium. The “Netflix & Chill” consisted of popcorn and the popular movie, Dear White People.
“We feel it is very important to give back to the campus in any and every way that we can. We didn’t want to, you know, over do it and do a full week of events, but a few hours in the beginning of the week we felt was perfect for a little ‘break,'” says senior Biology major and President of the Eta Xi chapter of Delta Sigma Theta, Chasity Watson.
Eta Xi was the first black Greek organization at UTM and continues to demonstrate sisterhood, scholarship and service.
