On a recent, sunny April afternoon, Georgia Gwinnett College (GGC) was the site of some cool chaos and creamy collisions – all in the name of charity.

Members of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. and Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. joined forces to host a delightfully messy fundraiser for the March of Dimes. Their tools of choice? Shaving cream pies and ice-cold baths.

For just $2, students could serve up a pie to the face of a willing fraternity or sorority member – no baking required, just aim and splatter. Feeling extra generous or mischievous? A $10 donation bought the opportunity to dump a frigid ice bath on a volunteer from either organization.

But this event was more than just pie-slinging and icy shivers – it was about community, laughter and giving back. With smiles as wide as the mess was big, the GGC campus came alive with energy and purpose. In the end, students walked away with soaked shirts, whipped cream in their hair, and the satisfaction of supporting a great cause.

How much did they raise? In all, over $100, but when it comes to campus spirit and good old-fashioned fun, the event was priceless.
