A Partnership for Change
In 2005, Sigma Phi Epsilon, the largest fraternity in the US with over 14,000 members, partnered with YouthAIDS to create an HIV/AIDS awareness campaign on college campuses. In addition to educating peers, SigEp brothers plan and produce signature events to raise funding for YouthAIDS prevention programs around the world. The SigEp / YouthAIDS partnership serves as a platform for American youth to become involved in the fight against HIV/AIDS by promoting education and awareness.

Ohio Alpha Promotes Awareness
On World AIDS Day 2007, the men of Ohio Alpha at Northern Ohio University raised over $3000 for YouthAIDS with their “Light Up Awareness” event. The Chapter featured hot air balloons on campus to catch their community’s attention.
Over 100 Chapters have raised more than $320,000
Since the partnership began, a third of SigEp’s chapters have held events to benefit YouthAIDS. The chapters at Bucknell University and George Washington University lead the pack contributing over $30,000 each. Click here to see upcoming events (popup)
