Where Are Your Donations Going?

Most of our Brothers and Sisters, don’t need a reason to give to Morrill. We give because Morrill taught us how to be men and women, how to be loyal, and most importantly how to support each other. That being said, it is still easier to give when you know where your generosity is being allocated.

Why Would Anyone Volunteer to Oversee Our Fraternity?

Could Volunteering with Your Brothers Really Lead to a Longer Life?

According to a recent article by the Wall Street Journal, volunteering could be good for your health – particularly once you’re retired. A study “involving more than 64,000 subjects age 60 and older from 1998 to 2010 has found results suggesting that volunteering slows the cognitive decline of aging.”

Let’s all take a minute to thank the guys for donating not only their precious time, but their talent and treasure as well. Why do they do it? Well, it’s all tied to science!
