Greeks from all over California packed Storke Field this weekend to play soccer and raise money for charity.
The Alpha Epsilon Pi (AEPi) fraternity held its second annual all-greek community philanthropy soccer tournament from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday to raise money for the Jack Canfield Chicken Soup Fund. The aid organization helps students who do not have the financial means to pay for medical fees that are not covered by university health insurance. A total of 26 teams from
UCSB, UCLA, UCSD and Cal Poly — made up of fraternity and sorority members — participated in the charity soccer tournament.
The
UCLA teams won both the fraternity and sorority championships for the second year in a row. The UCLA chapter of
Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity beat UCSB’s
Beta Theta Pi in the men’s finals, while
Alpha Phi of UCLA beat
Delta Gamma of UCSB in the women’s finals. Woods said he felt the event was a success.
