NORTHEASTERN COLLEGE BOWL

QUIZ BOWL SUPPORTING SOS CHILDREN’S VILLAGES
On Wednesday, October 7th 2009, the brothers of the Northeastern University Associate Chapter of Sigma Beta Rho Fraternity, Inc. hosted the 1st annual Northeastern College Bowl. Twelve student organizations competed against each other in a free-for-all quiz bowl competition benefiting SOS Children’s Villages.
SOS Children’s Villages is an organization that builds villages across the globe, with the goal of providing a comfortable, family-oriented place to live for orphaned or abandoned children. Children who have been abandoned or orphaned come to SOS Children’s Villages where they are integrated into a loving family environment. They are nurtured and supported by an SOS Mother and up to 15 other children in their SOS home who become their SOS brothers and sisters. Strong bonds develop within these ‘SOS families’, and even after the children are grown and leave the village, these family relationships endure.
The competition was comprised of various rounds of questions ranging anywhere from academics and NEU history to pop culture. There were both individual and team rounds plus bonus rounds such as the popular “Name that Tune” round. Additionally, teams could earn bonus points by making charitable donations to SOS throughout the competition.
Sigma Beta Rho Fraternity, Inc. would like to congratulate Kappa Sigma Fraternity on their 1st place victory, Kappa Phi Lambda Sorority for coming in 2nd place, and Phi Delta Chi Fraternity for placing in 3rd place! Sigma Beta Rho Fraternity, Inc. would also like to thank UTSAV, Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity, CUP, Sigma Sigma Sigma Sorority, Delta Zeta Sorority, Kappa Delta Sorority, Alpha Kappa Sigma Fraternity, Delta Phi Omega Sorority, and Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity for participating in the first annual Northeastern College Bowl and for their generous contributions to SOS Children’s Villages!
