Say what you will about greeks.

Each year students at universities across the USA get together to dance and stand for hours on end to benefit the Children's Miracle Network.

Hailing from the University of Florida, I thought I would let you experience their Dance Marathon 2011.



Throughout the past year, students have been raising money and awareness about DM. A vast majority of the participants are affiliated with greek organizations on campus. Each organization pairs with another and they work hard to raise funding for the children's area at Shand's Hospital in Gainesville, Florida.

Each dancer must stand for 26.2 hours straight, all this FOR THE KIDS!

This year they raised $713,053.68 for CMN and Shand's. Say what you will about greek organizations on college campuses, but without their time and pledge to benefit this cause, DM would not be the same.
