“Our members are all really excited and passionate about it. I think it's a cause that hits close to home because it is one of our brother's friends that suffered from cardiomyopathy. Every year people get more and more excited and it gets bigger and bigger. Overall, it's just an event we really care about,” said RIT student Emily Bartha (ΔΑ).

For the Tau Chapter of Phi Sigma Pi, Easter eggs are important since they play an integral role in the Easter egg hunt the national honors fraternity hosts every year on the mall. This year, the Easter egg hunt has taken a new turn. “For the first time in 13 years, we opened the event up to not only the faculty and staff of ECU, but also the Pirate Club and Alumni Association,” said Marie Lazar (Τ), the service chair. “We are really trying to make it bigger and better each year and to be able to touch as many families as we can to put a smile on a lot of kids’ faces.”
