YSU Greek System

This month, as part of their Greek Week, fraternities and sororities at YSU held the second annual "Stuff the Bus" for United Way in which they collected toys for children in need this holiday season.

A total of 14 bags of toys, clothes and games were collected for a total of 1,735 items.

Pictured in front are: Bob Hannon, Donna Greenaway, 2010 YSU United Way Campaign Co-Chair; Tara Mady, Kristen Olmi, and James Milby, Sigma Tau Gamma Fraternity. In the bus: Michael Koziorynsky, Alpha Phi Delta Fraternity; Jared Buker, Alpha Phi Delta Fraternity; Jessica Sarich, Zeta Tau Alpha Sorority; and Mandy Alcorn, Alpha Omega Pi Sorority.

As of today, $1,222,053 or 49% of our 2010 Campaign Goal has been raised. Look for our thermometers in the community!

GIVE. ADVOCATE. VOLUNTEER. LIVE UNITED.

The YSU Panhellenic Council presented our United Way with a check for $1,000. The group raised the money through a candy bar fundraiser.

The YSU Interfraternity Council also presented our United Way with a check for $1,000.

In addition, the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity held a one day raffle fundraiser and raised $223.15 for the United Way Campaign.

Student participation continues to be a contributing factor to the success of the university's campaign.

All money raised by student organizations goes toward the YSU United Way Campaign. This year's goal is to raise $62,000 through the support of faculty, staff and students.
