Pi Sigma Epsilon is the nation’s premiere co-ed sales, marketing and management fraternity. PSE holds frequent professional workshops and social events, as well as sales and speech competitions for members throughout the year. President Katie Tippy sets high expectations for the group: “Our chapter prides itself on an ability to professionally develop members and improve their business acumen while creating lifelong friendships. The experience we get from working with clients and corporate sponsors is invaluable: being a part of Pi Sigma Epsilon is something our members will cherish for life.”
Pi Sigma Epsilon recently became involved with BuckeyeThon and Nationwide Children’s Hospital, a cause near and dear to Ohio State. Every February, the Ohio Union hosts a 24 hour dance marathon, the culmination of a yearlong effort by students, faculty/staff and the community to both emotionally and financially support BuckeyeThon families.
Sunday, October 4, Pi Sigma Epsilon is hosting their second annual “Fore the Kids” golf scramble at Foxfire Golf Course with a 9 a.m. shotgun start. Golf, raffle prizes and refreshments are available to any students, faculty or community members interested, and 100 percent of the proceeds go straight into a donor drive for the dance marathon. Last year, Fore The Kids was able to raise $5,808.35 for the dance marathon, making PSE the top organization to donate in the Max M. Fisher College of Business, and they expect to raise even more this year.

“All of our members are beyond enthusiastic about BuckeyeThon, and after the golf outing last year more and more members have been compelled to participate in fundraising activities,” explained Service Director Meghan Sullivan. “I remember one of the most touching moments from the dance marathon in the Union last year was when one of the mothers came up and hugged everyone on our team, thanking us for helping to save the lives of children just like her daughter. Sometimes fundraising feels like you’re just one little drop in a hat, but moments like those really put into perspective how important every dollar is to make a difference.”
Sign ups for the golf scramble can be in teams of four or individually. Students and community members can make a donation or register here by October 1: http://forethekids.eventzilla.net/web/event?eventid=2139086091
