"It actually makes me feel really lucky to see how many great brothers we have," said D'Angelo, a senior majoring in marketing. "It's one of those things you take for granted. Their continuous support motivates me to continue to increase our total amount of donations."
For some of the men, this event will give them a brand new look.
"I've had long hair for the past five years, since ninth grade, but I think losing all my hair is a small price to pay in comparison to the amount of money I can raise personally and with the organization," said Nate Smith, a sophomore majoring in information systems who serves as the vice president of communications for Sigma Phi Epsilon.
Zach Robert, a freshmen majoring in engineering, had also been known for his long hair.
"I decided to shave my head because it's a good cause. I never shaved it before, but it was a lot of fun. The clippers were very hot and burned your skin a little, but the pain was absolutely worth it," he said.
This is the first time Sigma Phi Epsilon has participated in this event. Because of the success, the fraternity plans to host a larger event at the house next year and invite more of the Drexel community to participate on campus.
