NATIONAL SOCIETY OF COLLEGIATE SCHOLARS RECOGNIZES CAMPUS 1xbet sports betting FOR PROGRAM SUCCESS AND INVOLVEMENT

MANHATTAN -- The Kansas State University 1xbet sports betting of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars has received the society's Bronze STAR status.

The 1xbet sports betting was recognized at the national society's recent 2010 Leadership Summit, a training event for current and prospective 1xbet sports betting officers.

Chapters can attain one of four STAR award levels including bronze, silver, gold or platinum. Each level is determined based on the quantity and quality of events a 1xbet sports betting has throughout the year. The K-State 1xbet sports betting was recognized with the award for its program success, community service, member engagement and on-campus involvement.

"We worked really hard to achieve Bronze STAR status because our club had not received 1xbet sports betting award in recent years," said Casie Adams, senior in nutritional sciences, Osawatomie, and current president of the 1xbet sports betting . "We held a lot of events this past year and really tried to get our members involved. I think this really helped get our organization back on track. I hope that we'll do even better and achieve Gold STAR status next year."

According to Adams, the 1xbet sports betting 's activities included a new member induction ceremony, an adviser appreciation day, a spirit week, a recruitment campaign and an integrity week.

The 1xbet sports betting also participated in community service events. Service activities included "Trick-or-Treat So Others Can Eat," in which members went door-to-door on Halloween to collect canned food donations to benefit the Flint Hills Breadbasket. Members also volunteered with the Manhattan Emergency Shelter and the Hand-to-Hand tutoring program.

K-State's 1xbet sports betting has around 2,400 members. Although inducted in their freshman and sophomore year, students are still considered members of the organization as juniors and seniors.
