Hi Presidents and Philanthropy Chairs,

Good Evening, I was hoping that all of the sorority presidents would be able to forward this email to your philanthropy chairs to consider participating in our event. The brothers of Sigma Alpha Epsilon are excited to announce the return of Paddy Murphy Week to the University of Maryland’s campus. Paddy Murphy week is an event that is done by numerous SAE chapters throughout the country and we are eager to bring it back bigger and better than ever.
The story of Paddy Murphy is an important one both for our chapter here on campus and for chapters around the country. We feel that it would be best if a couple of the brothers were to come to a chapter meeting that will be taking place soon in order to both explain the story of Paddy Murphy and to give a better idea of what will be going on throughout the week.

Events will be taking place throughout the week from February 21st-February 27th.
The Schedule of the Events for the Week is as follows:
Sunday 2/21- Paddy Murphy Kickoff Parade
-Each sorority participating in the event will decorate a memento representing their sorority that will be put in the decorated coffin for Paddy Murphy that will be carried around campus with the sorority being led around campus by brothers carrying their personalized Paddy Murphy flag
Monday 2/22- Banner Decorating
-Each sorority decorates a Disney themed banner and hangs it from their house for Paddy Murphy week
Tuesday 2/23- SAE Olympics
-Sororities compete in Flag football, Soccer and Dodge ball events along with a Chipotle fundraiser
Wednesday 2/24- SAE Carnival
-Winterfest Feast with holiday foods being served along with a dunk tank and a head shaving donation competition, where the top donating sorority gets to shave a few brothers’ heads.
-Mechanical Bull riding competition
Thursday 2/25- Social Media Day
-Sorority will be given points based on most follows on the chapter social media pages and likes on designated photographs
- Free hot chocolate outside of Stamp along with a Cornerstone fundraiser
Friday 2/26- Miss Paddy Murphy Pageant
-Three rounds of a Pageant each sorority will compete in
Round one: funny bio
Round two: talent
Round three: themed Runway Competition
Saturday 2/27- Violet Ball Banquet
-Banquet and Ball to honor the weeks winning sorority

All proceeds from the event will be donated to Children’s Miracle Network and TerpThon. In addition, the winning sorority will receive a percentage of the proceeds towards either a philanthropy of their choice, or towards their Terpthon total.
Please respond ASAP as to when a couple of our brothers can stop by your chapter house in order to better explain the story of Paddy Murphy and the events that will be going on throughout the week.

We look forward to hearing from you!
