Driscoll Lawn is beginning to look like it used to-before the coming of the temporary “Z” parking lot-with groups of students gathering on the green.

On a day that was overcast, with temperatures dropping as the day went on, fraternities and sororities brought out their homemade seesaws for Gamma Phi Beta’s “See-Saw-a-Thon.”

This year’s philanthropic event is raising money for the Fresh Air Fund Camps with “See-Saw by the Seashore,” a fundraiser to support the sorority’s philanthropy.

Funds raised will help send inner city students in the northeast to travel to the country, experiencing nature for the first time at a camp they would not otherwise be able to afford.

“It’s a great way for the Greek community to come together for a great cause,” said Morgan Devor, philanthropy chair for Gamma Phi Beta.

“See-Saw-a-Thon” began at noon yesterday and ran for 24 hours, concluding today at noon.

Every Greek house that was able to participate was outside on the lawn, each riding its own seesaw.

Prizes were awarded for durability, how well the see-saw was built; longevity, how long the Greek members stayed on the see-saw; and creativity, holding a spirit true to Gamma Phi Beta as well as the seashore theme.

“It’s always interesting to see what the houses come up with,” said Jackie Miller, former president of the Gamma Phi Beta sorority. “Some seesaws have very intricate designs painted on them, while others are constructed of car seats and cushions.”

Participants were required to keep the event alcohol-free and succeeded in doing so.

“I’m really proud of the Greek community,” said Devor, “We’re raising money for kids to go to camp, and having a fun time together at the same time.”
