Delta Zeta’s initiative to support National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week (NCAAW) is the i Have a Choice campaign. Collegiate chapters undertake campaigns in their local communities and on campus to educate about the dangers of alcohol abuse. The i Have a Choice campaign helps reinforce the idea that everyone has a choice when it comes to alcohol use. Each year approximately 1700 college aged students die as a result of an alcohol-related injury. It is just as important now, as it was six years ago when Delta Zeta started this campaign, to educate our members and communities about the healthy choices we can make regarding alcohol.
This week, Delta Zeta’s chapters are taking to social network feeds to chronicle their efforts in their communities with the i Have a Choice Campaign. Using the hashtag #iHaveAChoice on Twitter, in the past 24 hours alone there have been 254 tweets which generated 164,728 impressions, reaching an audience of 56,587 followers (stats courtesy of hashtracking.com).
Make sure to follow along or participate in a local chapter’s events near you. We are following our chapters' efforts with Storify and will post the impact of this year’s campaign after our chapters submit their program reports on their events on Chapter Inc.
Thank you to all of our members who are taking the time to talk about the dangers of alcohol, not only this week, but throughout the year.
