Philanthropy


"In 2005, Sigma Phi Epsilon, the largest fraternity in the US with over 14,000 members, partnered with YouthAIDS to create an HIV/AIDS awareness campaign on college campuses. In addition to educating peers, SigEp brothers plan and produce signature events to raise funding for YouthAIDS prevention programs around the world. The SigEp / YouthAIDS partnership serves as a platform for American youth to become involved in the fight against HIV/AIDS by promoting education and awareness." - Population Services International

Yell Like Hell or YLH for short, is the GA Epsilon's largest philanthropy event of the year. We have managed to raise enough money to become recognized in the SigEp journal as well as on the SigEp and YouthAIDS partnership website.

This past year we raised nearly $8,000 to go to our national philanthropy. YLH is a competition between each of the sorority's fall pledge class and the winner is crowned the sorority who can "Yell Like Hell" (loudest). The event is held at the RAC (Recreation Activity Center) pavilion and is open to all students and faculty.

Alpha Omicron Pi has been the reigning, three year champion of the competition. Zeta Tau Alpha came in a close second during the 2008 competition.
