PINK & BLACK BALL INCLUDES OU STUDENTS FROM ALL AREAS

The Pink & Black Ball, hosted by the OU Women’s Outreach Center, brought students from all aspects of university life together on Saturday, Feb. 20, to raise funds for the Susan G. Komen foundation.

“As a member of a sorority, it’s a rare occasion when I have the opportunity to be at an event with [OU] students who aren’t a part of the Greek system,” said freshman business major, Kristen Miller. “[The Pink & Black Ball] is one of few events that encourages students from all areas to attend.”

Most campus events, like Dance Marathon, University Sing and Sooner Scandals, organized through Campus Activities Council, are predominately attended by members of fraternities and sororities, according to personal research into campus event attendance. The Pink & Black Ball, while having the support of various fraternities and sororities, was consumed with students from other aspects of student life, as indicated by attendees.

The Pink & Black Ball is an annual event for students, alumni and faculty that typically incorporates casino games, raffles, hors d’oeuvres and dancing into the event.
