For the third year in a row, the Sigma Triton chapter of Phi Sigma Kappa continues to lead Indiana University’s Greek system in community service hours. This spring semester is especially full of philanthropic causes that Sigma Triton is participating in. Philanthropy chairman Andy Chiamopolous has lined up a weekend full of activities starting with the Feast of the Phi’s Friday, April 8th.
For this event, we are paired with Alpha Epsilon Phi, our sorority neighbor to the North. The event will consist of food, live music, and games. Admission is $5.00 and all proceeds go to benefit AIDS research. The music for the event is provided by the Clint Crowe Band which consists of Sigma Triton seniors Thomas Anthony, Evan Zeller, and junior Ryan Barth.
The following day, Saturday, April 9th, brothers will be participating in the Relay for Life for the second year in a row. Relay for Life is an overnight event designed to celebrate survivorship and raise money for research and programs of the American Cancer Society. During the event, our team with gather at the Billy Hayes Track adjacent to Bill Armstrong Memorial Stadium and take turns walking or running laps. Each team tries to keep at least one team member on the track at all times. Last year Phi Sigma Kappa was the only fraternity to participate in this new event. This year we are hoping that more fraternities will follow our example to help the American Cancer Society.
The philanthropy weekend ends with Sigma Triton’s annual Senior Prom at Beverly Healthcare nursing facility co-sponsored by Alpha Chi Omega sorority. The annual Senior Prom has quickly become one the brotherhood’s favorite Philanthropic events of the year. Every year the brothers arrive at the nursing home, decorate the dance are, serve drinks, and spend time with the residents. Everyone has a great time and the event really brightens up the lives of the nursing home residents. Last year our senior prom was featured in The Herald Times and the Indiana Daily Student as a bright light in the Greek Community.
