Delta Zeta Serve Customers During a Fundraiser at Perfectly Frank

Delta Zeta Sorority hosted a philanthropy event at Perfectly Frank on the evening of Tuesday February 24 from 5:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M.
My colleague and fellow group member Anastasia Greene decided to cover this event and stop by to see the happenings of the night. I arrived on location promptly at 8:30 P.M., as things were winding down, to get time to talk with the sisters of Delta Zeta about how things unfolded.
The first young lady that I interviewed was Sister Molly Plummer, who planned, organized, worked with public relations and staffed the event. It was her first time being in charge of this particular event and she seemed to exude positivity upon approach.
The only reason that I, personally knew of this event as a public journalist was thanks to the social networking site Facebook.com. I received a Facebook, event invitation as well as a group invitation. This led me to ask why Ms. Plummer used this site as a tool to advertise her sorority's event. She she said that Facebook is a powerful tool used for public relations because it has a broader reach than by just word of mouth. You can create an event or group and invite people, who will hopefully invite more people, and soon more people will know about an event faster than ever before.
The evening went well with the sorority raising (as a rough estimate) about $250, with it business being pretty hectic at first, then slowing down as the night went on.
When asked about collaborating with Perfectly Frank for this event, Molly explained that Delta Zeta had worked with them before. She smiled and gave a thumbs up, "Everything here is delicious!"

Sam Johnson, another sister of Delta Zeta, helped serve drinks and clean tables. She said that this was the third time Delta Zeta had hosted this event in their history and she has volunteered to participate all three times.
"It's just a fun way to raise money," Ms. Johnson explained. The event is great community service and a way to promote philanthropy.
Perfectly Frank is the perfect location to have this event because Sam loves the food there. Also, it's economical for a student, and it is conveniently placed on-campus in the village area.
"When I'm, going out with my sisters, one of the first choices of places to eat is 'Perfectly Franks!" Sam said.
