On September 29, 2013, the Miami University Colony of Theta Tau partnered with the Cincinnati Reds’ organization to provide voluntary service at their home game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The brothers of Theta Tau worked closely with the maintenance crew and employees of the Great American Ball Park to help clean the stadium during the 7th inning, In return for their service, the brothers were given free admission to the game.
Feedback from this event was positive. Many members enjoyed attending the game, claiming that it added a social aspect to the event. However, there were a few complaints that the actual work being done was not substantial enough. Given the popularity and convenience of Reds games, this type of service event proves to be a viable one moving forward. As our fraternity continues to grow, it will even be possible to organize larger events of service with the Reds organization.
