It was held at a local church and gave us a chance to interact with the community and help others in need. This program is run through Bradley University. Several fraternities and sororities each year participate in this activity. Seven brothers from our chapter, one a week for one hour, volunteered their time to tutor children in subjects they are not doing so well in. Lastly, the Thirty Hour Famine was one more event we participated in.
Brothers starve themselves for thirty hours in the name of hunger.
For their time spent starving, money was pledged for underprivileged families. Rex K.
