Florida State University’s Interfraternity Council serves communities impacted by Hurricane Helene

Nearly 200 members of FSU’s Interfraternity Council (IFC) community traveled to Perry, Florida, the Sunday following Hurricane Helene to provide support with local clean-up efforts. The students spent the day picking up downed trees, moving furniture out of flooded houses and helping wherever else they could.

“I was very touched by the initiative our IFC community showed,” said Amy Hecht, vice president for Student Affairs. “Their commitment to help out a community which was so significantly hit by this disaster was inspiring.”

Ian Seibert, FSU IFC vice president of scholarship and service, realized that most disaster relief organizations were still getting set up to receive organized volunteers. He figured the IFC could help if they just showed up, and they quickly did, knocking on doors and asking if homeowners needed help. The word quickly spread, and they started getting requests from churches, small businesses and locals asking for assistance.
