Second-annual Merlin Olsen Day of Service was Successful Event
Sept. 20, 2011
For the second consecutive year, the Merlin Olsen Day of Service had a good turnout to honor the memory of Order of Constantine Sig and Significant Sig Merlin Olsen, UTAH STATE 1962. This past Sept. 15, Merlin's birthday, undergraduates and alumni volunteered their time to help their communities and campuses across North America on the second-annual day dedicated to helping others.
Sigma Chis gave blood, cleaned beaches and highways and organized food drives to help the underprivileged, in order to rekindle the giving spirit of Olsen, who passed away on March 11, 2010.
The Fraternity encourages its members to continue to share their stories of service. Please send high-resolution photos (please use the original files from your camera's memory card to ensure they are the highest possible quality) of your Sept. 15 volunteer activities, along with a paragraph describing where the event was hosted and what service was accomplished, to honormerlin@sigmachi.org.
