Fraternity raises $6,400 for Earhart FoundationBlood, sweat and tears were shed at the (Northern Illinois University) Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity house Friday as the Sig Eps defeated Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, becoming the Tugs champions for the first time since they began hosting the competition in 1974.
The Sigma Phi Epsilon members raised $6,400 for their philanthropy, Earhart Foundation, an organization that gives scholarships to underprivileged students, and gathered 450 cans of food for Hope Haven.
The match was an upset, as Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity has won the Tugs competition 26 times in 31 years.
"For me and the guys in my house, it was almost unreal at first," said senior communication major Sassan Ashouri, the caller for Sigma Phi Epsilon. "To think you always wanted it to turn out that way and it finally did."
