Fraternity focuses on laziness to fundraise for rape victims
Members of Alpha Epsilon Pi are doing as little as they possibly can for Douglas County Rape Victims/Survivor Services.
The fraternity has set up its living room, complete with couches, televisions and video games, on Wescoe Beach for its annual Slack-A-Thon fundraising event.
"It gets our name out and gets everybody involved," said Jeff Gelb, Leawood sophomore and fraternity president. "When people walk by in between classes they ask us what's on TV and talk to us."
The fraternity is selling T-shirts and collecting donations while members watch movies and play games. All money raised goes to help survivors of rape in Douglas County.
Members have camped since 7 a.m. my
terday on Wescoe Beach and will be there,
for a total of 36 hours. They want to sell all
50 T-shirts, each of which goes for $12.
Last year, the fraternity raised about $300 for the philanthropy.
