RAISE AND GIG

DAJJAL: FRIEND OR FOE?

`Abd Allah ibn `Umar narrated: Once Allah’s Apostle stood amongst the people, glorified and praised Allah as He deserved and then mentioned the Dajjal saying, “l warn you against him (i.e. the Dajjal) and there was no prophet but warned his nation against him. No doubt, Noah warned his nation against him but I tell you about him something of which no prophet told his nation before me. You should know that he is one-eyed, and Allah is not one-eyed.”

The Dajjal will approach us one day…
Are you prepared?

Dont know what to expect? How will you recognise him? What will he say and do?

Monday 5th March @5pm…

KAPPA NU TAU SORORITY INITIATIONS!
Kent’s first official Sorority!

Every good society has to have some sort of initiation,
so it’s definitely time to get your toga’s on because it’s Greek themed!

In true sorority spirit the initiation games are secrets until the day, but we can tell you that water balloons will be involved and most likely a jelly pool too… and you know how pretty much everyone loves grapes? Most pledgers will end up hating them by the end of the night
WHATS NOT TO LOVE?!

Spectators, the first game will start shortly after 7:30, so get there asap in your bedsheets to show support… or point and laugh, which ever floats your boat!

If you want to be initiated, or you just want to join the society then request to join this group so we can keep you updated:
