Marshall University’s Alpha Chi Omega and Alpha Sigma Phi will host its first Easter egg hunt Thursday.

“This is the first time we are doing this event,” said Alpha Chi Omega member Marleigh Harbour. “We hope to get a good turn out so we can continue hosting this event for years to come.”

The hunt costs $6 per student with a Marshall ID and $8 per adult. 

While supporting the organization philanthropies, attendees will also have the chance to win $100, $50 and $25 cash prize eggs.

Proceeds will go towards Alpha Sigma Phi’s philanthropy RAINN (Rape Abuse and Incest National Network) and Alpha Chi Omega’s philanthropy Branches Domestic Violence Shelter.

Students have the option of same day registration from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday.

“This will be a fun event for students,” said senior psychology major Morgan Clark. “I think it’s a festive activity that will give students a break from studying for a few hours.” 

The hunt starts 5 p.m. on Buskirk Field.
