UW fraternity takes up biking to football games for charity

Sounds like a long way for a short trip, but at least it's for a good cause.

This weekend will not be of typical fashion for one of UW-Madison's fraternities.

Sigma Phi Epsilon will defy the typical "frat" stereotype by partaking in Tour de Touchdown. The event began Wednesday and will conclude at the Badger football game Saturday at Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill.

Tour de Touchdown is an annual charity event to help raise money for the UW Children's Hospital. Members of Sig Ep will bicycle approximately 150 miles to Northwestern where they will present the game ball for this week's football game.
