As a college junior and Sigma Chi brother at the Gamma Pi Chapter of the University of Rochester, I have found that my fraternity has given me a myriad of opportunities to help both myself and others; whether it is volunterring at a soup kitchen, tabling for a charity event, or throwing a philanthropic spaghetti dinner, our fraternity always seems to have helping others and promoting a truer sense of justice in the world at the forefront of our ideals. That being said, very rarely do any of us get to actually put ourselves in firsthand situations where we can truly help others in person, and that is exactly what I think our service trip to the Dominican Republic this winter will provide. Thus, I am very excited about the prospect of actually placing myself in a situation that clearly needs my help, and doing so with my fraternity brothers will only make this experience more special. Thanks to all who have supported this trip financially and logistically; together we can all make a difference.
