This past Saturday, October 10, marked UAB’s biggest day of service, aptly named “Into the Streets”. The event is hosted every semester by the Leadership and Service Council. Volunteers meet at the Hill University Center and pick one of the variety of sites to serve at. Work at the sights ranges from spending time with the elderly, to getting down and dirty in the mud and planting trees and bushes or cleaning the streets.
Just like every semester, the Pi Deltas were up bright and early to represent TKE at the event as site leaders and as volunteers. We chose to go to Birmingham’s Jackson Elementary School and split up in groups to collect trash from the surrounding area, do yard work to beautify the school, and sanitize the inside of the school. The sight leaders included Jason Hall, Tareq Fayyad, Andrew Cochran, and Julian Mitchell.
After the job was done the work hat put up, the volunteers were treated to lunch and the all-important free t-shirt at the UAB Mini-Park. This semester’s Into the Streets was, once again, a great success. The Pi Delta Tekes would like to thank UAB and all the hard workers at the Leadership and Service Council for providing such a great opportunity for students to be productive and give back to the city of Birmingham. Looking forward to the next one!
Here are a few pictures from the event:
