FIJI and Chi Omega are partnering together for the third annual Owl Prowl benefiting the Wesselman Woods Nature Preserve on October 26th. Chi O started the event in 2023 and partnered with FIJI in 2024. Both Greek Life organizations have owls as their symbols so it is only appropriate that this event helps to raise money for Wesselman Woods’ animal ambassadors: Hattie the great horned owl, Artemis the eastern screech owl, and Chip the barred owl. These birds are non-releasable as they each have an injury that makes them dependent on humans. Returning students may remember Artemis as he has been on campus to promote owl prowl in the past! Artemis and Hattie are ambassadors because they received wing damage from car strikes. Chip is an ambassador because he has a deformed foot that makes it hard for him to survive on his own. Both Chi O and FIJI will be competing to see who raises the most money. 

Admission to Wesselman Woods is free on the day of the event, but you can donate to become a walk-a-thon participant where there will be themed prizes for participants as well as pumpkin painting for free.
