Video of the Month: Delta Zeta Chapter, University of Pennsylvania

Alpha Alpha Chapter at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign completed some back-breaking work Saturday, March 9, at Walnut Point State Park in Oakland, Illinois.
 More than 125 brothers showed up for this service project to help prepare the park for warmer weather. With only one employee, this service project saved the park weeks worth of clean up. Brothers helped clear culverts, remove invasive shrubbery and trees from the park's earthen dam, and generally cleaned up day use areas and campgrounds.
