Giving Tuesday |
GivingTuesday is a global movement unleashing the power of radical generosity. GivingTuesday: A day that encourages people to do good. Whether it’s making someone smile, helping a neighbor or stranger out, showing up for an issue or people we care about, or giving some of what we have to those who need our help, every act of generosity counts and everyone has something to give. https://www.givingtuesday.org/ |

This is an event in which all proceeds go towards prostate cancer awareness. Each week an updated picture of our brothers will be posted on our story. It is up to you guys to vote for the brothers with the best results at the end of each week! The three brothers with the lowest votes will be eliminated each week. It is $1 per vote and voting will open after each weekly picture! Volunteers from the Psi U History and Archives committee gathered in Indianapolis to research, sort, and preserve Psi U history. Since 2008, Pepperdine University has hosted the “Waves of Flags”: over 3,000 flags are planted in Alumni Park to symbolize the lives lost on Sept 11, 2001.
