The Pittsburgh University’s fraternity and sorority members celebrated the completion of their $500,000 pledge to the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute Thursday night at the O’Hara Student Center Ballroom.
“Tonight, we celebrate the fact that you did it,” Chancellor Mark Nordenberg said to about 100 Greeks crowded into the ballroom.
In 2005, the Greeks signed a contract with UPCI to raise $500,000 to go toward a lung and thoracic cancer research laboratory in Pittsburgh.
The donation is the largest gift commitment from any organization on campus and the largest donation UPCI has ever received.
