NC State’s chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority will be hosting a Drake-inspired Pink and Green Week until Saturday, with various programs ranging from topics of environmental ownership, fiscal responsibility and the importance of neo-diversity.

The sisters hope to showcase programs that fulfill the sorority’s targets, specifically educational enrichment, health promotion, family strengthening, environmental ownership and global impact, according to Toluwalope Oyelowo, a senior studying biomedical engineering the president of the Kappa Omicron Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority. 

Today’s event, “Energy,” will allow participants to test their physical fitness by competing against members of ROTC. It is from noon to 2 p.m. in Talley Student Union. 

Tomorrow there will be a program entitled “Hold On, We’re Going Home,” at 7:08 p.m. in Park Shops 200 to provide information about fiscal responsibility. 

On Thursday, attendees will learn about the importance of neo-diversity at “Make Me Proud” in Park Shops 200 at 7 p.m. 

Friday’s event, “Jumpman,” will be a social event held at 7:08 p.m. at Sky Zone Trampoline Park.

The week will conclude with “The Motto,” which will be community service at The Oaks at Whitaker Glen Resting Home at 11 a.m. 

“The week is intended to unite the campus community, educate others about important and relevant topics and personify the importance of service to all mankind,” Oyelowo said. 

Students, faculty, staff and community members can get involved by coming to events that will be happening throughout the week. The program will present distinct information, and attendees will be able to take something positive away from each day, according to Oyelowo. 

“It is imperative to participate in Pink and Green Week to provide peer support and obtain valuable knowledge about the various motifs that will be explored,” said T’Yasah Walser, a freshman studying exploratory studies. 

Many chapters of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority have one to two weeks of events during the academic year. The graduate chapter of Raleigh will also be collaborating on Wednesday’s program about family strengthening and fiscal responsibility. 

“This week is important to both me and my organization because this weeks give us, the Kappa Omicron Chapter, a chance to showcase and enlighten the students at NC State about our national targets of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority,” said Jasmine Jack, senior studying biological studies and vice president of the Kappa Omicron chapter.
