Children of all ages are invited to the annual Panhellenic Easter Egg Hunt this Sunday at 2 p.m. on the lawn of the President’s Mansion.
The University of Alabama and the Alabama Panhellenic Association collaborated on the event as a way for greeks to give back to the Tuscaloosa community.
Each Panhellenic sorority is asked to bring in candy-filled eggs, and Panhellenic delegates and junior delegates, as well as Panhellenic Executive Council members, hide eggs and run the event. This year, the Inter-Fraternity Council will also be in attendance and is helping to host the event.
There is no set age limit for children looking to participate. The Easter Bunny will make an appearance during the hunt and will be available for pictures.
Bama Dining will cater refreshments for those in attendance, and face painting and other outdoor activities will also be available. All members of the Tuscaloosa community are invited to participate in this event.
Olivia Hanceri, director of public relations for the Alabama Panhellenic Association, said she encourages student and community participation in the event in order to represent greek life positively to the members of the Tuscaloosa community.
“We are constantly striving to strengthen our wonderful relationship with the Tuscaloosa community,” Hanceri said. “Many residents are alumni and volunteers who unwaveringly support to our greek community. We can’t begin to thank them enough for all that they do, but we hope that they enjoy the day we will be sharing with them.”
This event looks to showcase UA’s respect for the Tuscaloosa community and attempts to foster a spirit of community between UA students and those living in the Tuscaloosa community.
“We just want to provide students with an opportunity to serve our community and create good relations in a fun atmosphere,” said Katie Jackson, secretary and treasurer of Alabama Panhellenic.
The event will last until each egg is found.
