The worst of Hurricane Helene just missed UGA’s campus and Athens to the east, but many students felt the impact in their hometowns. For Joe and Cam West and their fraternity brothers, this presented a clear opportunity: to help however they could.
On Oct. 6, eight students from the University of Georgia’s Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity traveled to the Augusta area to help with the storm recovery. They trimmed limbs, cleared yards and provided comfort and support.
Joe West, Sig Ep’s chaplain, said several members of the organization are from Augusta and woke up to devastating news the morning after the storm passed through.
