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 ofSigma 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.

Wow! This used to be UCSB FIJI's philanthropy, I wonder if they have left campus.


That tournament and UCSB Lambda Chi's ISVT (inter sorority volleyball tournament) was AWESOME! Some of the biggest parties at UCLA all year (because the event was held in LA). But alas, I think those days are all but gone now....

The article mentions FIJI briefly:

This is the second time AEPi has put together the tournament after the now-defunct FIJI fraternity handed it over to them in 2003, Woods said.

Yeah, FIJI left UCSB in 2001. Sadly, Lambda died too just a few months later in 2002.
