We are excited to announce that our fraternity has been making great strides in our community outreach efforts, specifically through our involvement in our annual Spelling Bee. Just this semester we were finally able to bring back in-person spelling bee tutoring. Every Saturday, we send 5-10 brothers to teach local students in the 19th Ward spelling and vocabulary. Many of our members have reported that “this is the best way to start a Saturday morning.”
On April 8th, students in grades 3rd-8th will put their spelling abilities to the test, with the winner from each grade being awarded a $500 collegiate scholarship. Our Spelling Bee program is about more than just improving spelling skills. It is about empowering and uplifting minority communities, helping them to overcome barriers and achieve their full potential. We believe that every individual deserves the opportunity to succeed, and we are committed to doing our part to make that a reality.
