Triangle actively participates in local philanthropy events, volunteers for local shelters, and hosts their own events! Philanthropic events are important for the brothers to bond over acts of kindness, and to help others.
Here are some examples of past events:
Winterization 2021
On Saturday, November 13th 2021, the brothers participated in the annual Winterization philanthropy event. Here, brothers raked the leaves and cleared yards of elderly people in the West Lafayette/Lafayette community.
College Mentors For Kids 2020
On Wednesday, February 26th 2020, Triangle hosted the College Mentors For Kids Event in association with the College Mentors For Kids Foundation at Purdue. At this event, Triangle welcomed over 100 underprivileged elementary school children from around the West Lafayette/Lafayette community into its doors where brothers spent the afternoon doing activities with the kids relating to all the different engineering disciplines. Together, we made bottle rockets to represent Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering and created slime to represent Chemical Engineering just to name a few.
Be sure to stay tuned for the next College Mentors For Kids event hosted at the chapter home in January 2022!
Indiana Polar Plunge 2020
On Saturday, February 15th 2020, our bother Kyle Morin participated in the annual Indiana Polar Plunge event that was held at Purdue University. This event helps raise money for Special Olympics Indiana.
Triangle Carnival
For our fall philanthropy, we hosted the first ever Triangle Carnival on September 13. The event, which took place on our front porch and lawn, consisted of carnival games and a raffle. The most popular attraction of the day ended up being the dunk tank. We held the event to benefit the Purdue chapter of College Mentors For Kids and ended up raising $448 for their organization! We’re very excited to have started this event strong and are looking forward to next year and really establishing it as an annual fall philanthropy for our chapter.
