We Live United - Delta Phi Epsilon, Alpha Mu
How does the Delta Phi Epsilon sorority at the University of Michigan - Dearborn Live United? By Going Green; by participating in Operation ABC; by volunteering at Gleaner's...the list goes on. Ask one of us how we Live United.
Our team is building a ramp through the Ray West Memorial Ramp Project for a man named Jason who is handicapped. We began to embark on this adventure yesterday and will continue on until Thursday.
This Alternative Spring Break trip in Detroit has probably been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Yesterday we met Bill, the man in charge of the ramp building project. Bill is hands down the most inspiring man i have ever met. Bill is the type of man you could sit down with for hours and talk to about the project, he knows everything and anything you would ever need to know about ramp building and the program. He, alone, inspires me to be a better person.
We have a crew of two men who we work with as well, Mike and Rob. They were both laid off from Chrysler about two years ago and each live over 100 miles from our work site. Even with the own struggles that Mike and Rob are facing, they continue to volunteer their services and help others who need it more then they do.
My team is amazing. There are seven of us, we're all goof balls but we get the job done. We are all extremely excited for Thursday when we get to see Jason ride down the ramp for the first time. I'm sure it will be quite an emotional and inspirational experience.
That is all I've really got for now.
