On Saturday, April 3rd from 1:00-2:00pm, the Panhellenic Council sponsored an Easter Egg Hunt in the Ithaca community. The event was for members of the Big Brothers Big Sisters Program of Ithaca. Because of the overwhelming demand for "Bigs," there are many unmatched "Littles."
The Big Brothers Big Sisters Program created a Saturday program for all "Littles" who are not matched so that they can interact with the college students who volunteer as "Bigs" for the afternoon. The hunt was specifically for these children who are currently unmatched.
Members of the Panhellenic Council stuffed and then hid almost 300 eggs at Stewart Park. There were 20 children between the ages of 4 and 14 who, when released to begin searching for eggs, were filled with smiles and laughter.
The children loved searching the area for the eggs and the members of the Panhellenic Council received equal satisfaction knowing that the children were having fun. We hope to make this an annual event with the Big Brother Big Sisters Program.
