In Memory of David Shannon - Chi Phi has partnered with five other UNC fraternities to fully fund and build a Habitat for Humanity home in Chapel Hill beginning in January 2013.  Your support will be crucial to the success of the 2012/13 Brothers project and in fulfilling the dream of home ownership for a deserving Chapel Hill family. Not only will the project provide a new home for a family in need, but it will bring many members from different fraternities together to accomplish this goal.
This year's Brothers project is dedicated to the memory of a lost fraternity brother David Shannon. David was a freshman from Charlotte, who died in an accident this fall. David was an enthusiastic new member of Chi Phi who became very involved with the Brothers project at the start of the year. He raised the most money of any new member, and he very enthusiastically worked at the New Member Blitz Build in September. In just a short time at Carolina, David demonstrated his commitment to service and leadership, and we are very proud to honor his legacy through this year's project: Brothers for David Chi Phi has committed to raise $78,000 to sponsor the construction of the Brothers for David home. They need your donations to make this project a success. All funds raised will be used to help pay for the costs of construction materials and contracted labor for the home they will build this spring. Please make a contribution on the secure online giving page: Click Here. Or, you can make a gift by check (with Chi Phi on the memo line) to: Habitat for Humanity of Orange County 88 Vilcom Center Drive, Suite L110 Chapel Hill, NC 27514.

you are deep inside. Actually, the cuisine in Venezuela has a lot of European influences (especially Italian, Spanish and French) and is quite flavorful. Now Raleigh has a new Venezuelan grille named 
fillings and sauces ala carte. The meats include grilled and avocado chicken, grilled steak, shredded beef, braised pork, and tilapia (fish). These are paired with up to three sides (plantains, caramelized onions, black beans, etc.) and topped with vibrant house-made sauces (cilantro, habanero, mustard, guasaca, among others). We chose to mix and match with the tilapia and chicken with a variety of different sides but both topped with the guasaca sauce. The flavor combinations were over the top and intoxicating. Best yet, the prices were very reasonable and the portions were plentiful. 
your traditional "bubba fare", but it is definitely worth the culinary stretch. The atmosphere is fast, casual and the flavors are authentic and fresh. The South American & Columbian chefs have created a distinctive and creative alternative that will have all us craving "South of The Border - Beyond Mexico Way". Enjoy!
