The tragedy of the April 27th, 2011 tornadoes was felt throughout the state of Alabama, the city of Tuscaloosa, and within The University of Alabama Community. Immediately following those tragic events, thousands of members from the UA Community mobilized and responded in the form of cooking over 52,000 hot meals, donating over $220,000, and by distributing hundreds of thousands of pounds of canned goods, clothes, hygiene supplies, and more. At times, UA Greek Relief was responsible for over 1/3 of the total relief hot meals prepared throughout the city of Tuscaloosa.For a week, hundreds of UA students and eager volunteers prepared food in the kitchens of Delta Kappa Epsilon, Beta Theta Pi, Phi Gamma Delta, and Sigma Nu, fraternities, and UA Greek Relief received and distributed hundreds of thousands of donated goods. It was the mission of UA Greek Relief to provide immediate relief for the Tuscaloosa Community and to bridge the gap between the immediate needs of the community and the establishment of long term relief agencies.Following the immediate relief efforts, the UA Greek Relief Board of Trustees strategically funded rebuilding projects across the entire Tuscaloosa, Alabama community. Those donations have helped local schools, families rebuilding their homes, and much more.In UA Greek Relief's final chapter, students on the campus of The University of Alabama formed a student organization with the purpose of coordinating philanthropic efforts before Greek organizations.
