RHO–SOUTH CAROLINA

KAs Egg Yards in Three States for Easter Being unable to celebrate Easter like usual, Paul “Burns” Grich (Rho–South Carolina ’18) decided to provide a way for families to enjoy the holiday. He began the Egg Your Yard Facebook page, offering to “egg” people’s yards the night before Easter for a nominal fee. “Wake up Easter morning with a yard full of eggs!” the page advertised, from $25 for 30 eggs up to $80 for 100. Before long Burns’ Saturday evening was completely booked hiding candy-filled plastic eggs. PHOTO COURTESY OF CAMPBELL UNIVERSIT Y

The idea took off with other brothers of Rho Chapter who wanted to make a difference in their hometowns. James C. Hill IV ’18, and his brother, Teddy Hill, decided to host their own version in Richmond, Virginia. Harrison DeLong ’18 did the same in Atlanta, Georgia, and Andrew Cooke ’18 picked it up in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

“We thought it was a great way to stay busy and support our community during this time,” James said. Taking all the necessary precautions in wearing gloves and masks, the brothers were able to egg more than 100 yards across the three states, providing children with the joy of hunting eggs on Easter morning. Enlisting the help of chapter brothers Will Bethea ’19, Matthew Marechal (Delta– Wofford ’18), Adam Springs ’84, their friends and family, Burns and the South Carolina team was able to donate $600 to the local American Red Cross from their proceeds. Andrew Cooke was able to donate $650 to the local United Way of South Hampton Roads. Below: Paul Burns Grich (right) with Douglas Lorenz, a member of Sigma Nu at the University of South Carolina.
