Valentine's Day Update!

Saturday February 14th is Valentine’s Day, and various groups across GWU have been celebrating all week. If you’re all out of ideas or need some help, here’s a couple of ideas:

Want to serenade your significant other? You can purchase a song ($2 for local calls, $3 for long distance) that the Mu Delta Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority will sing to your loved ones over the phone on February 13th. You can stop by our their table in the Marvin Center on Tuesday February 10th or email aka@gwu.edu to purchase and for more information.

Or if you want to opt for something more traditional, stop by Colombian Square, J-Street, in the Marvin Center and buy some Valentines Day Candy. The girls of Alpha Epsilon Phi are hosting a candy sale from hearts, to roses, and even cakes. Cash and GWorld will be accepted as a form of payment. All proceeds from the sale will be donated to Sharsheret, a not for profit breast cancer foundation.

Class Council is also hosting three events targeted at Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors. On Tuesday, February 10th, stop by Thurston Hall between 1 and 4 pm to fill out a free Valentine’s Day gram. On Wednesday, those of you without a date can celebrate Anti-Valentine’s Day in Kogan Plaza with free candy and condoms. Finally, on Thursday, you can stop by the Potomac Hall lobby between 3 and 5 pm to decorate cookies for yourself or your Valentine.

Also as Valentine’s Day approaches, GWU C.A.R.E.S. (Campus Access to Resources and Education Services), the University Counseling Center and the University Police Department along with the Feminist Majority Leadership Alliance invite you to a brown bag lunch panel on Healthy Relationships, Warning Signs and GW Resources, on Tuesday, February 10th from 12:30-1:30 in Marvin Center 402.
