Support our Fiji Delta Colony at DePaul University - If they raise $1,000, the Colony Community Service Committee Chair Demetri Chrissos '15 will shave his head! (And he needs it!)



This is Demetri.

Demetri NEEDS a haircut.

His brothers of the Fraternity are seeking your help to make this happen.

Here is how you can help.

On April 20th, DePaul is hosting a 24-hour Dance Marathon, aimed at raising money for the Children's Miracle Network and the Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago. Demetri, our community service committee chairman, recently made a commitment to be a dancer for FIJI's DemonTHON team. In order to actually participate in the dance, Demetri has to personally raise a minimum requirement of $250 and the FIJI team goal is $1,000.

While Demetri may not be the best dancer, we all support him and the DePaul campuswide philanthropy initiative. Dancers are competing to try and win points that will allow them to take breaks (such as going to the bathroom) - these points come from dollars raised.

Here is where the fun part comes in.

If Demetri raises $750, he will trim his hair to look respectable and clean cut.

If Demetri raises $1000, he will shave his entire head.

The brothers of the Delta Colony would like nothing more than for Demetri to shave his head! Here is how you can help.

You can donate any amount you would like to this cause. Please send a check or money to the Colony Treasurer - please make checks out to "Delta Colony of Phi Gamma Delta" and mail to the address below. Payments by credit/debit cards can be done online [to access please contact the Treasurer].

Thank you for your support. We hope to have a new Demetri - with no hair!

Press On!
