In response to the recent natural disasters that occurred in Japan, the University’s chapter of Delta Tau Delta is set to host a Greeks on Relief concert at Rounders on Tuesday night. All proceeds will go to support the Japan Relief Effort.

Charlie Dickinson, philanthropy chair for Delta Tau Delta, said the fraternity had wanted to organize a charity concert to help the country all semester.

“When the earthquake and tsunami happened in Japan, we thought it was an important and meaningful charity to raise money for,” Dickinson said.

Last month, Japan experienced an 8.9-magnitude earthquake, causing major damages to much of the Eastern coast.

“It’s a horrible tragedy that no nation should have to go through,” said Brittney Alexander, a freshman majoring in biology. “I want to go because it’s a way for college students to give back and support relief efforts while also being able to have fun.”

Tiffany Simms, a sophomore majoring in political science, said her heart was with all those who were affected by the disaster.

“It’s hard to understand what they’re going through right now,” Simms said. “My thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Japan. The fraternity’s fundraiser is for a good cause, and I would be willing to give money to support it.”

Dickinson said the fraternity has big hopes for the event.

“Whatever we raise will go to a good cause and help efforts in Japan,” Dickinson said. “You get to hear three bands and there’s a mechanical bull. It’s a good way to spend $5.”

The concert starts at 9 p.m. and lasts until 2 a.m. Tickets are $5 and can be purchased at the door.
