The Quarterly

The Zeta Xi Chapter at UC Davis hosted its second annual SNUperbowl powderpuff football philanthropy event in early May. Through the event, the chapter raised money for Kesem, which provides vital support to children whose parents have been diagnosed with cancer, offering comfort, connection, and community.

At 5:45 a.m. on September 17, four brothers from the Zeta Xi Chapter at the University of California, Davis, reached the summit of Mt. Whitney after a 10-day, 100-mile trek along the John Muir Trail. Their journey was more than a test of endurance; it was a mission to stand in solidarity with those facing conflict, poverty, and oppression around the world. Battling cold temperatures and early mornings, the brothers persevered to watch the sunrise from the highest peak in the continental United States. Through their efforts, they raised $1,490 for Mercy Corps, supporting its work to deliver food, water, and critical aid in more than 40 countries worldwide.
