Newberry College recently celebrated Greek Week with a Penny War fund raiser to benefit the American Red Cross. During the week-long activity, the Greeks set a new campus record and raised $1,420.97.
Three fraternities, Tau Kappa Epsilon or TKE, Kappa Alpha Order and Theta Chi and three sororities, Alpha Xi Delta, Kappa Delta, and Sigma Sigma Sigma participated in the Penny War. Sororities competed against sororities and fraternities battled against fraternities outside of the cafeteria at lunchtime. Each group decorated their own jar with their Greek letters and colors.
The group that collected the most pennies was Sigma Sigma Sigma. Theta Chi raised the most pennies of the three participating fraternities.
The presidents are John “Remy” Brennan of TKE; Kyle Edens of Kappa Alpha Order; Nate Nickel of Theta Chi; Courtney Crigger of Alpha Xi Delta; Kayla Knight of Kappa Delta and Cera Windham of Sigma.
Director of Student Activities, Melissa Rorer, is especially proud of the effort and enterprise of the students. “I’m very proud of the Greeks. They stepped up to make this one of the best Greek Weeks ever and raise money for a wonderful cause.”
