Delta Tau Delta fraternity will be ringing bells for donations to The Salvation Army between roughly 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. all week in the plaza behind BPSC.
This is the third year Delta Tau Delta has volunteered to ring the bells.
"One of our goals is to help The Salvation Army every year," Josiah Jennings, McLeod senior and vice president of Delta Tau Delta, said. "As an organization, we do what we can for the community."
The Delts were also ringing last week. Though they can't see what they've collected inside the buckets, which are locked by The Salvation Army, Jennings said it's been looking "pretty good."
"The hours I've worked, I've seen several people donate," he said. "Pennies, all the way to fifty dollar bills."
Delta Tau Delta will be teaming up with Delta Delta Delta sorority next weekend for Delt the Halls, a clothing and toy drive.
"The reputation of Greek life isn't always positive," Jennings said. "We do what we can to help some families who are in pretty desperate need this time of year, especially in this economy. We do what we can to help."
Jennings encourages others to help out in their community.
"A small hour of your time can mean more to someone else."
