Social being held for women’s heart health
November 9, 2015
The Red Dress Social is a new event that Alpha Phi is holding on Friday November 13.
The social, which is being held at Redwood from 7 to 9 p.m., is open to all students and will
have many activities for people to take part in.
“The Red Dress Social is brand new,” said Alex Polasky, the Vice President of marketing
for Alpha Phi. “It has an all you can eat s’mores bar, which is our main attraction, and then we
are going to be doing some of the games we’re going to have at our gala.”
Alpha Phi has traditionally held a Red Dress Gala, which is a sit-down dinner with a
silent auction, but due to factors such as tickets that cost in the $30-40 range they decided to hold
another event that is more suitable for campus.
The event is not just designed for students to have fun, but it is also raising money for a
worthy cause.
“Our philanthropy is the Alpha Phi foundation, which goes towards women’s cardiac
care and women’s heart health. So all of the proceeds from the Red Dress Social, as well as the
Red Dress Gala, will go back to the foundation,” said Polasky.
There will also be some games at the social, where students will be able to win some
“We are going to have a two-liter toss, which is a ring toss. We are going to have two-
liters set out and if your ring lands on a two liter of soda, that bottle gets to go home with you,”
said Polasky.
In addition to the two-litter toss there will also be Plinko, similar to the game on The
Price is Right, where wherever the chip lands shows what prize is won. These prizes include gift
cards, sunglasses and more.
The Red Dress Social is something that Alpha Phi is certainly excited about.
“It is going to be amazing and super fun,” said Polasky, “You can eat as many s’mores as
you want play as many games as you want. Everyone, when they walk in the door with their
ticket is going to be put into a big pot and we are going to pull one out and we have two
awesome door prizes.”
One of these prizes is an “all you can want college snack pack” that will pack full of
treats to snack on.
Alpha Phi will be selling presale tickets throughout the week. They will be in convo on
Wednesday and Thursday during both lunch and dinner. The presale tickets cost $2 and tickets
will also be sold at the door, but it will cost $3 to buy tickets then.
