On Wednesday night in University Yard, 13 student organizations gathered to make and drink non-alcoholic cocktails for the second annual GW Mix-Off run by GWise and CADE. Teams that were voted by students to have the best cocktail were awarded cash prizes. There was also a free BBQ, personalized BAC cards being given out and music blasting.“This is much more legit that I thought it would be,” said Cameron Smither from the Vern RAC team mixing up ‘Vern Passion.’
Each team had to come up with an original cocktail and provide educational literature for a target audience that raises awareness about safe partying or any other cause that the organization works with.
“We decided to come out for the first time because it is a great cause, a chance to meet students from other student organizations and promote all that CADE stands for,” said Ashley-Lynn Goldstein from Sigma Delta Tau’s executive board. “We are really excited and having a lot of fun.” The girls from Sigma Delta Tau were making ‘White Virgin Sangrias’ with fresh oranges and white grape juice.
GWISE has been planning the event since August; it is their biggest event of the year. The organization is made up of approximately 15 peer educators that meet once a month with the aim to address alcohol and drug abuse on campus.
