Sigma Alpha Epsilon Beach Volleyball

   In an effort to produce revenue for their Chapter philanthropy, "Lion Conservation Fund," the fraternity Sigma Alpha Epsilon most commonly known as S.A.E. is hosting their annual Beach Volleyball Tournament this Sunday, March 6 at 11 a.m. in Belmont Shores.
   The "Lion Conservation Fund" works to conserve the dwindling number of lions in the African area and to launch a worldwide conservation movement.
   The fraternity does various events throughout the calender year to raise money for the cause. The tournament, which takes place in Long Beach will feature a team from each of the various sororities on campus.
    Each team will be assigned a set of coaches that will coordinate practices, encourage good moral, and enhance the positive vibes among members.  The charitable donations stem mostly from the entry fee that each team is required to pay in order to gain a spot.
   Wes Stephens, Philanthropy chairman of Sigma Alpha Epsilon believes that by integrating a fun yet competitive sport like beach volleyball and a good cause, their goals can be achieved.  "We also sell tank tops that the players as well as spectators purchase and wear, which is a good source of funds and publicity," Stephens says.
   Don't be discouraged if you are unsure of your volleyball skills, the event is a popular attraction for people to simply watch the tournament and cheer on their favorite sorority or just get some sun.  "I am not a huge volleyball player myself, but it's always a ton of fun, watching my sisters play, cheering the girls on, and socializing with everyone from the Greek system," says Erin Brown, Vice President of Membership of Delta Delta Delta.
   Greeks or non-Greeks are welcome to stop by the tournament to support Sigma Alpha Epsilon and "The Lion Conservation Fund!"
