Fun in the Sun • As a fraternity we raised over 2500 dollars to give to the Childrens miracle network. • Without the help of each sorority on campus this would not have been possible. • Through a series of week long events sororities put together teams to compete in competitions for a final winner at the end.

  10. What I have learned • Raising money for those who are less fortunate is a great way to get involved in your community. • Working together to better the good of others makes an individual feel quite appreciated. • You never know how just a little help can go a long way. • Some people don’t choose the situations the are put in so those of us who are less fortunate should appreciate that.
