Wouldn't it be great if every chapter started doing a project like this one. Of course, it would be better if they didn't have to, but that is a rant for another forum.The brothers of Sigma Phi Epsilon know this very well. The fraternity is spearheading a drive to fill and deliver shoeboxes to all McDaniel alumni serving in Iraq, as part of the nationwide campaign, Operation Shoebox. The fraternity’s participation was the brainchild of sophomore Christopher DeRose. The drive moves into full swing Oct. 18-31 when Ensor Lounge in Decker becomes a drop-off point for items and filled boxes donated by the McDaniel community.
"Whether you are for the war or not, whether you are Republican or Democrat, for Bush or Kerry – we have to support the men and women risking their lives over there," DeRose said.
A list of needed – and much appreciated – items appears on www.operationshoebox.com. From the home page just click on "Items" on the left side of the page. Boxes should be about the size of a large shoebox or slightly bigger.
From McDaniel to our troops in Iraq
