On October 29th, Hurricane Sandy began to wreak its havoc across the Upper East Coast of the United States. Within only a few days, this “Super-Storm” was able to destroy many areas all across the North East Coast and with it, the lives of some families. AEPhi sisters at the Cornell and Syracuse and Brooklyn chapters have had first hand experience of the destruction.

Upon hearing this news, the sisters of UCF’S Alpha Epsilon Phi Beta Zeta chapter have decided to create a fundraiser titled “Sister-to-Sister”. This fundraiser will raise money that will be given to other AEPhi sisters, alumni, and family that were affected by Hurricane Sandy.

The event will take place on Saturday, December 1st, from 11 a.m.-10 p.m. at the Sus-Hi restaurant located across from UCF in the plaza that houses both Mad Hatter and Flippers.

This will be a partial proceeds event, in which Sus-Hi has promised the Sorority 10% of the proceeds to be donated towards the cause if 0-49 people were to show up,15% of the earnings if 49-100 people show up, and if over 100 people show up, they will donate 20% of the earnings.

In order for Alpha Epsilon Phi to earn the proceeds, those attending must bring the flyer shown below.

A Facebook page has been created to help promote the event.
