Old Dominion University hosts a Relay for Life every April to support the American Cancer Society's fight against cancer. Each year the ODU community forms more than 80 teams with over 1000 participants to raise awareness and over 60,000 dollars for the American Cancer Society. We transform the Webb Center from 7pm to 7am into a night of food, fun and fundraising.

This was the fifth annual International Festival. This global extravaganza highlighted magnificent performances that guided all on an exciting and engaging international journey. At the Global Food Court, authentic cuisine was enjoyed from around the world. International Bazaar featured jewelry, arts and crafts that reflect international artistry. The International Children’s Activity Arena featured global activities and interactive educational stations. The little ones hung out at the outdoor petting zoo. All activities were free and open to the public. Free parking was available at the 43rd and 45th parking garages. Ethnic foods and other items were on sale.

Admitted Student Day is a series of events that provide an opportunity for admitted students to learn more about campus life and what it's like to be an Old Dominion University student. This will give us a chance to expose our organization to 1000+ new incoming Monarchs.

Recently our organization has made a connection with the regional President of Phi Theta Kappa, the International Honor Society for Two Year Colleges/ Community Colleges. We believe that introducing the ODU chapter of Tau Sigma to PTK is advantageous for both our organization and the University by showing PTK members what ODU and Tau Sigma have to offer them as transfer honor students. They attended this meet and greet at ODU on February 25, 2013 at 5:30 pm. During the event we hosted a formal dinner for members of the TNCC and TCC chapters of Phi Theta Kappa (PTK). We are trying to bridge gaps with the community colleges because a majority of members who transfer to ODU come from the community colleges in the area. We want to inform them about Tau Sigma well before they get here. This will also give us a chance help better serve the needs of our transfer students as conversation came up as to what we could do to help them have a better transition and see the kinds of resources they are interested in before they get here. This is our sole mission as an organization.

Community cleanup walk in honor of Martin Luther King day; in addition to coming together with the surrounding community to cleanup our neighborhood, participants at ODU made a 30 day pledge to be advocates of peace, harmony, and equality.
