A\u00a0primary focus of the Theta chapter for the 1999-2000 school\u00a0year is a 10-fold increase in philanthropic participation. We feel that participation in these extracurricular activities promotes a sense\u00a0of community that we have lacked in the past. Therefore the first semester was full of worthy philanthropic events that saw nearly full\u00a0participation from each active Theta Beta.<\/p>\n
In September, the brothers attended a charity wrestling event,\u00a0in which Matthew Doman was the main event. The outing raised nearly $300 which helped defray the medical expenses of a young\u00a0car accident victim. We were able to make it a rush event as well, as it was attended by nearly 15 freshmen. In October, brothers assisted\u00a0the Delaware Habitat for Humanity which is currently constructing\u00a0a house where a tragic fire destroyed a family\u2019s home. The brothers\u00a0of the Theta chapter showed their support for Habitat and have\u00a0offered any help needed. We also organized the first annual Beta\u00a0Flag Football tournament with all proceeds benefiting Mothers\u00a0Against Drunk Driving. The tournament saw success that we hope\u00a0will grow for years to come. During the holiday season, the brothers\u00a0participated in ringing bells for The Salvation Army for the second\u00a0consecutive year. The brothers worked in shifts of two from 3 until\u00a08 p.m.<\/p>\n
Several brothers are currently active in philanthropies of their\u00a0choice without affiliation to the house. Some volunteer for Big Brothers and Big Sisters while others contribute time to local high\u00a0school sport teams and education classes.<\/p>\n
As the brothers move toward bettering the house we can look\u00a0forward to future events such as a softball tournament, Christmas in April and a continued relationship with Habitat for Humanity,\u00a0just to name a few.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
