Annual Lower East Side United Festival

The Downtown NYC Zetas had an amazing time supporting Why Not Care More at the Annual Lower East Side United Festival.

Alongside the men of Rho Epsilon Sigma, sorors distributed bags to students and families, helping prepare the community's youth for a successful school year.

To make the day even more special, AAYZ blessed local moms with care packages to help them start the school year strong.
