The Student Activities Council of Fayetteville State University hosted Bronco Nights, a fun-filled evening of card games, sparkling grape juice, dancing, and mingling. The event was aimed at offering Fayetteville State students a night from which they could engage in various games without the violence, risk, and negativity of gambling with money, which can be a threat to young men and women in the community. Real casinos involve drugs, alcohol, prostitution, violence, and the threat of becoming addicted to gambling, which often ruins entire families, while emptying healthy bank accounts.
On March 24, 2008 at Fayetteville State, students competed for "tickets" which were thrown into a raffle at the end. They were given the opportunity to win Rodeo Week tickets, a DVD player, a television, and other prizes. Instead of alcohol, students sipped sparkling grape juice…instead of drugs, they were able to engage in laughter. Fruits, chips, and cookies were offered. SAC aimed to deter the young student body from dangerous activity and instead give them a good time…Mission accomplished.
