BROTHERHOOD

A Collaboration Like No Other
Help Florida Alpha Support the Special Olympics
T
o me, the Special Olympics means
kindness, acceptance, positivity,
and philia (brotherly love). The Special
Olympics is an organization that promotes
the inclusivity of individuals with intellectual
disabilities through sport. I have been
involved in the Special Olympics since my
sophomore year of high school. As part
of my involvement, I have been a partner,
coach, ambassador, club president, and
student board member. Since joining Florida
Alpha in February, I have encountered
similar experiences of acceptance and
brotherly love within the Chapter. This
past summer, I began to work on ways to
connect these two organizations that I am so
passionate about.
On December 4, our Special Olympics
Club on campus will help host the Special
Olympics Florida's Race for Inclusion. I
am so excited that Florida Alpha will be
participating in the race. Each brother will
have the opportunity to participate as runners
by raising money for Special Olympics
Florida. Additionally, Florida Alpha will
be competing with other Greek chapters on
campus for the race's top donation award.
Please feel free to contribute to the Florida
Alpha team at the link below:

org/site/TR/Virtual5K/General?team_
id=2458&pg=team&fr_id=1482
Florida Alpha will also be volunteering for
Special Olympics as both partners (teammates
with individuals with intellectual disabilities)
and as fans in the stands. Plans are in the
works for brothers to design posters to cheer
on athletes at games. Because of this start, I
hope to begin a partnership between SigEp
brothers and Special Olympics that will
outlast my time in the Chapter. I will be
presenting these opportunities at Chapter,
and I am excited to share one of my biggest
passions. I am not only excited because it
brings Special Olympics more volunteers—
and hopefully more donations—but also that
I may be able to bring a similar experience to
my brothers that I have had during my time
volunteering for Special Olympics.
The Special Olympics has legitimately
changed my life. It has unlocked an altruistic,
compassionate, and positive part of me that
was previously dormant. Each moment I have
been able to engage with athletes has brought
me 100 times more in return. That gift is
something I hope to share with my brothers. If
I can not only help impact Special Olympics
athlete's lives, but also benefit my brothers
and leave a mark on Florida Alpha, I would be
humbled and overjoyed. I want my brothers to
have the chance to meet my Special Olympics
family and ignite a passion for helping others.
Fraternally,
