Valentine dates auctioned to benefit Habitat
Dartmouth Sig Eps are participating in a Valentines 'Date Auction" to raise funds for Habitat for Humanity.
Students who do not yet have a date for Valentine's Day can buy one at Wednesday's Valentine's Day Charity Date Auction in Collis Commonground. The event will raise money for the United Way and Habitat for Humanity.

To aid the event's funding, five Greek houses -- Psi Upsilon, Chi Gamma Epsilon, Phi Delta Alpha and Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternities and Sigma Delta sorority -- have pledged at least $100. In addition, the Panhellenic Council has donated $200 toward the event.

Habitat for Humanity, the group hosting the auction, provides opportunities for college students to volunteer in foreign countries.
This year's Habitat for Humanity group, organized by Welton Chang '05, will travel to Bolivia. Although a few national organizations have traveled to Bolivia's capital to engage in service work in the past, the Dartmouth chapter is the lone American group to enter the small community of Tarija, Chang said.
