Here at Fordham there are countless clubs available for all
students to join, including several cultural organizations. There is the Gaelic Society, Hellenic
Society, and Insieme Italian Cultural Society just to name a few! With St. Patrick’s Day this month, there have
been a few different Irish events. On
Tuesday, March 10th at 8pm, there was a Ceili Night held in O’Keefe
Commons. It was a night full of music,
dancing, and of course some traditional Irish food! All students are welcome to come learn a
ceili dance or some reel steps, and no experience is necessary. These events are sponsored by Sláinte:
Fordham Irish Dance, and are held a few times throughout the year!

This past week Fordham was on Spring Break, but campus is
never quite empty. Besides the several
students that live nearby (myself included!), many others stay in the local area
during breaks for jobs, internships, etc.
On Tuesday, the Gaelic Society was invited to march in the New York City
St. Patrick’s Day Parade with the Fordham Alumni Association. Beforehand, students were welcome to attend
the alumni brunch free of charge! Brunch
was held at PwC on Madison Avenue in Manhattan, and started at 10am. There was delicious food and even some live
musical entertainment. After the brunch,
the fun continued as everyone assembled to march in the parade!
