Campus Store accepting donations to support Greek life philanthropies

Consider visiting the Thiel Campus Store and giving your change to make a change.

The store has launched a campaign to collect funds to support Thiel’s Greek life philanthropies. Each month, September through April, a specific charity will be designated to receive the donations.

The recipient in March was Delta Sigma Phi’s American Red Cross fund. This month’s designee is Kappa Sigma and their commitment to help military heroes.

The counter-top jar is awaiting your visit…and your change. (And it’s big enough for paper money, too.)
