On Saturday, Temple and Drexel’s chapters of Phi Sigma Pi National Honor Fraternity (PSP) teamed up to raise money and awareness for Autism Speaks, the nation’s largest autism science and advocacy group.

Phi Sigma Pi is a co-educational national honor fraternity with 120 active collegiate chapters throughout the country.

Philly Cup took place at Temple’s Geasey Field, where 200 brothers, 30 from Temple’s chapter, participated. Twenty-two chapters were present at the event with brothers from as far away as Louisiana State University.

Temple and Drexel have been working together for the past six years for this annual soccer tournament. It also happens to be the fraternity’s largest inter-chapter fundraiser in the fall.

A representative from Autism Speaks attended the tournament to share about the foundation and autism in general.

After entry fees, t-shirt sales and raffles, Philly Cup raised $2,400.
