The Alpha Gamma Rho and FarmHouse fraternities co-hosted the Bison for Breasts meal Friday to raise money for local and national cancer research.

Chicken breasts, baked beans and fries were served to those who attended the event held at the AGR Epsilon House.

Proceeds from the freewill donations and t-shirt sale were split between local and national divisions of The American Cancer Society.

AGR Philanthropy chair Gabel Hoseth said the main focus of the meal was where the proceeds were going and what they were for.

“Supporting local efforts in the fight against cancer and national breast cancer research helps make a difference both here in the community and throughout the country,” Hoseth said.

With proceeds benefiting The American Cancer Society, the name Bison for Breasts was chosen to commemorate October being Breast Cancer Awareness month.

The work for the event was split between AGR and FarmHouse. FarmHouse took care of the food side of the gathering, while AGR’s focus was on hosting and the creation of t-shirts.

The partnership between the two fraternities for the event comes after years of rivalry between AGR and FarmHouse.

Jesse Klebe, the president of AGR, described a relationship improvement that lead FarmHouse to approach AGR in hopes of hosting a dual philanthropy event.

“It comes down to two organizations with a rivalry getting together for the greater good,” Klebe said. “The world would be a better place if rival organizations could learn to work together.”

Alex Nielson, the president of FarmHouse Fraternity, was pleased with the collaboration between FarmHouse and AGR.

“It shows a lot of strength and unity in the Greek community,” Nielson said. “(Bison for Breasts) is hopefully something we can continue to do for years to come.”
