On Monday, March 1, 2010, women of the NYU Panhellenic Council gathered outside of the Today Show at the early hour of 5 a.m. to celebrate National Panhellenic Badge Day.
NPC Badge Day was started in 1997 by the National Panhellenic Conference to honor sisterhood. Since then, it has been celebrated each March, which is also National Women's History Month. This year's theme is "Keep Your Fraternal Experience Close to Your Heart."
Though it was a chilly morning in midtown, the celebration of this event was well worth it! The women were able to show their Panhel pride three times on American televisions between 7:30 and 8:30 a.m.
As if being on TV multiple times wasn't exhilarating enough, the women had the opportunity to meet the morning crew.
...And Robert Pattinson!
The entire morning was an enjoyable experience of bonding and showing pride for being part of the National Panhellenic Council. Thanks to all who came out!
This year's participants were:
From Kappa Psi Delta: Rachel Fontana, Brayndi Grassi, Amanda Bernstein
From Pi Beta Phi: Kylie Kall, Alyssa Zuckerman, Gabriella Tutson, Alma Muniz, Katie Weinholt
Advisors: Allison Harris and Deb Jacoby
