Founders Day of Giving
NUTS! vs. Freearks
Freearks v. NUTS!
Integral to the success of Founders Day of Giving is the friendly competition between two important groups in SigEp — the NUTS! McAuliffe Society (local volunteers) and the Freeark Society (past staff). Last year, these groups raised over $600,000 – driving 40% of our entire goal.
As the NUTS! Society gears up for its 30th Anniversary at the 2027 Grand Conclave; their joining fees and annual dues directly enable undergraduate brothers to receive scholarships to attend Grand Conclave and the Ruck Leadership Institute.
