Getting involved with Bayanihan is EASY!
Bayanihan welcomes everyone to become a part of it's wonderful family. Bayanihan
hosts many events that joins together people of all ethnicities.
The Fall Fashion Show is a favorite
among Marquette students. It's a fun way to meet new people and to
strut your stuff for a good cause. Over the years, the Fall Fashion
Show has rewarded Bayanihan with Marquette University's Diversity
Award. The show brings together the entire Marquette community as well
as the Milwaukee community for a wonderful cause. Bayanihan has
successfully rasised over four thousand dollars for local Milwaukee
non-profit organizations each year through a night of fun,
fashion, and entertainment.
Bayanihan also puts on a Cultural Show every Spring. This is another great way to meet new people
and to learn about the Filipino culture through dance and music.
These are the main events that Bayanihan puts on every year. Throughout
the school year, Bayanihan also holds monthly events that PROMOTE, EDUCATE, and CELEBRATE the
Filipino culture with the Marquette community. In the past, events have
included an Alibata workshop that explores and teaches an ancient
writing system in the Philippines. A favorite fundraiser held on
numerous occassions is the famous Barrio Fiesta, where members
prepare delicious Filipino foods for a relaxing evening filled with food and fun.
Aside from these cultural events, Bayanihan also holds many fun social
events that allows the membership to relax and enjoy each others
company. Bayanihan has enjoyed ski trips to Little Switzerland where
the membership has tested their ski and snowboarding skills. The annual
Haunted Hay Ride is another Bayanihan favorite where
members travel off campus for a night of spook, campfire, and smores!
Magakaiisa, which means "unity" is a new edition to the Bayanihan tradition. The
retreat started two years ago by members of Bayanihan and has quickly
grown to become a meaningful and very fun event. Magakaiisa allows
Bayanihan to reflect, unwind, and hang out before the year comes to a close.
Bayanihan is a fantastic student organization that combines culture, service, fun, and friendship. Come be a part of Bayanihan TODAY!
