The Zeta Omega chapter of Sigma Chi social fraternity at East Tennessee State University has officially “adopted” South Side Elementary School in Johnson City.
This long-term commitment officially began Thursday at 8:15 a.m., when the fraternity members presented students with backpacks filled with supplies to aid academic success.
The gifts include pencils and pens, notebooks, scissors, staplers and plenty of paper.
The fraternity was motivated to volunteer for the school adoption by a dedication to service, the fraternity house’s close proximity to the school, and the work of the Fraternity Vision Task Force – a cooperative campus effort to build and maintain positive community relationships.
For further information, contact fraternity member Eddie Herbert at (423) 747-8150.
