A little competition, a little philanthropy


Hi Everyone! I hope you are all having a great week! I know some of you might be interested in the Greek system at Miami, and I wanted to share a cool tradition with you all that is going on this weekend. The newest members of the Greek Community will compete in Puddle Pull, which is a game of strategic tug-of-war (but sitting down, feet in pits that are dug in the ground). Puddle Pull Champion is one of the most coveted titles in the Greek System. Many hours of practice and strategizing go into this event! But the best part of it all, is that it is a philanthropy that supports two great causes.
Each fraternity and sorority on campus are philanthropic supporters of a certain cause. This weekend, both the Boys and Girls Club and Juvenile Arthritis will benefit from such a fun event! Some of the proceeds from Puddle Pull will go directly to supporting these organizations. I love having a little competition, but even more, I love how the campus comes together to support something bigger! I’m excited to see who wins!
