MTVU spotlights charity tourney
By Andrea Diebold
Published: Friday, April 8, 2005UK will receive national exposure as MTVU comes to Lexington on Sunday to film and promote a basketball tournament hosted by Sigma Phi Epsilon.
The fraternity is hosting a three-on-three basketball tournament that runs from Sunday to Tuesday to raise money for the Youth AIDS organization.
"The network is running a series on fraternities and wants to show footage of frats doing beneficial things for their community," Gillispie said. "They want to break into the whole frat scene and bust some of the stereotypes of fraternity life."
Sigma Phi Epsilon hopes to raise $10,000 for Youth AIDS, whose national spokesperson is UK alumna Ashley Judd. Reporters for MTVU will be on campus Monday to interview students and publicize the event.
"I think it is cool that MTVU is promoting UK and showing fraternity life for what it really is," said Tyler Hinton, a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon.
The championship on Tuesday will begin at 7 p.m. in Memorial Coliseum and will be followed by a concert featuring DJ Scrilla (a Sig Ep, if memory serves). All proceeds from the event will go to Youth AIDS.
