Epsilon Sigma Alpha International (ESA) has been a strong leader for volunteerism for nearly 80 years, and EΣA | BE>CAUSE is EΣA's new means to empower people to be their own cause for good. More than just a name or tagline, EΣA | BE>CAUSE is a collaboration of grassroots causes initiated by EΣA spreading the spirit of volunteerism. EΣA members aren't waiting for the world to change, they're implementing positive change every day. And they're having a blast!

EΣA | BE>CAUSE... BE>HOOVES HEIFER INTERNATIONAL

In addition to our on-going efforts for our international projects, this year, Collegiate EΣA members identified Heifer International (www.heifer.org) as an organization they'd like to help. Since 1944 Heifer has helped seven million families worldwide move toward greater self-sufficiency by sharing the gift of livestock, training, and renewable resources. During the 2008-09 school year, Collegiate EΣA chapters across the country will team up to help Heifer by hosting campus and community events designed to raise awareness and funds. Help EΣA | BE>CAUSE for Heifer and watch the success by visiting the EΣA Collegiate chapters team page on the Heifer web site.
