PHILANTHROPIC EFFORTS e fall semester also marked the second annual Buzz-a-Beta philanthropy. is year's event was led by the efforts of our philanthropy and community service chairmen, Jared Schingel '23 and Tommy Rzesztuko '23, and 60 brothers shaved their heads to raise awareness for the cause. In partnership with the Purdue Center for Cancer Research and the Tyler Trent Endowment, the brothers joined together to raise $43,000 for cancer research—with every dollar being matched by the PCCR for a total of $86,000! is was the most out of any fraternity on campus. Our spring community service was highlighted by a partnership with Natalie's Second Chance Dog Shelter in which brothers walked dogs in their free time.
