Some Charlottesville students are getting a jump-start on college life.  About 40 sixth graders left Walker Upper Elementary Wednesday to spend a day on grounds at the University of Virginia. "For some kids, college is never really an expectation or a goal for them and I hope at least maybe one kid out of the 30 that are here now wants to go college," said Phi Sigma Pi Vice President '''Jamie Dean (&#913;&#927;)'''. Each year the fraternity also offers free tutoring to students in Charlottesville and Albemarle County.

Hammond was speaking during a segment of Think before You Drink, a presentation on the dangers of drunk, impaired and distracted driving presented by Phi Sigma Pi. About 100 people attended the event. Sterling Heights senior and President of Phi Sigma Pi '''Alyssa Chrisman (&#915;&#924;)''' said part of her job is to put on an event every semester for risk management. In the past, the event was titled Sober in October, but because people misinterpreted the title as an anti-drinking event, the name was changed to Think Before You Drink. “I was hoping people would realize that drunk driving is prevalent,” Chrisman said. “A lot of people think tragedies cannot happen to them, so this opened peoples eyes to see that this can happen to anyone.”
