Shopping Spree Highlights Wish-Granting Event

The women of Omicron Zeta/Arkansas State U helped grant the wish of Kaitlyn, whose wish was to have a shopping spree. And shop she did—picking out lots of new clothes, creating three stuffed animals at Build-A-Bear, and loading up on electronics and digital gadgets.

While the group was checking out at Best Buy, where Kaitlyn selected a television, digital camera, games, movies, and more, a store patron stepped forward and anonymously paid for everything in Kaitlyn’s shopping cart. “It was the sweetest act of kindness I’ve ever witnessed,” said collegiate Hannah Johnson. “Every employee and Chi Omega was crying!”

During the event, collegians wore adorable matching T-shirts (see photo) and neon-pink wigs because pink is Kaitlyn’s favorite color and treatment has temporarily left her without hair.
