Providing for the Less Fortunate

Forty students slept outside on Friday night to show that they care about the homeless in Norman as a part of Phi Beta Sigma's sleep out for the homeless.

This is the 9th year that the fraternity has hosted this event. The event raises awareness by having a Mission Norman representative share some facts about the homeless population in Norman. The group has also been collecting money, canned goods and clothing all week. The event also consisted of a 'scavenger hunt' which involved the students going around local neighborhoods asking for a donation of money, canned goods or clothing.

"We believe a lot on giving back to the community so it's great to have an event that people have responded to and to have something that they are willing to get involved in," said Richie Mills, Phi Beta Sigma's social action chair .

The donated goods will go to Mission Norman who will make sure that those who are less fortunate receive the items.
