Did You Get This Email?
 
I recently received this email from Greeks Give.com and was wondering if anyone else got it and is it legit or not?

Is your Fraternity/Sorority/Group/Organization planning a large scale philanthropy project in the next few months, but you're having trouble coming
up with a project?
Does your Fraternity/Sorority community have a Greek Week program with t-shirts and you're looking for a design everyone will like?
The answers to your questions rest with www.greeksgive.com. Read on:
Since the September 11, 2001 tragedy, many of us Fraternity and Sorority members have been asking "How can I really help and make a difference?" There is now an answer to this question and it comes in the form of greeksgive.com. Through the simple act of buying a t-shirt you can make a difference in the lives of those directly affected by the tragedy. With every t-shirt purchased, a $5 donation is made to the Families for Freedom Foundation that is co-chaired by former President Bill Clinton and Senator Bob Dole.The goal of the project is to make a $50,000 contribution to the fund. Buy a t-shirt for yourself and make a difference. Organize a chapter/organization wide effort to buy the shirts and make a difference.
Have this be the next t-shirt your chapter orders and make a difference in the process.
To place an order, simply log-on to www.greeksgive.com and place your order on-line. Shirts will be sent directly to you and a donation made to the Families for Freedom
fund.www.greeksgive.com is endorsed by The North-American Interfraternity Conference, National Panhellenic Conference, National Association of Latino Fraternal Organizations, Fraternity Executives Association, and the Southeast Interfraternity Conference.

Never heard of it, but it seems like a respectable idea. Keep us posted on whether or not it's legit.

I received that email...actually two of them. I got one at my like junk mail account and one through my school email. It's weird cause I never give out my school email for random things like that.

no, I haven't gotten this email but I checked out the site-- it looks like something just "put together"-- probably looking to make a few $$$. So sad when people exploit a tragedy.

I didn't get the email, but it sounds like a scam to me. You're probably better off just giving directly to the Red Cross.

Does anyone else think it's highly improbably that Clinton and Dole would get together on ANYTHING? ;)

Dole and Clinton had a press conference together a few months ago about a World Trade Center charity that involved both of them. I don't think it had anything to do with this e-mail. I'd keep my money as far as this e-mail charity goes. It's better to be safe than sorry!
