When a local attraction was literally underwater from recent flooding, some Alfred State Pioneers were eager to help. Brothers from the Mu Theta fraternity at Alfred State College (ASC) volunteered their time recently to assist in flood cleanup at Pollywogg Holler in West Almond, NY.
Eli Bell saw an online post describing the damage from a recent flash flood at Pollywogg Holler and organized a team including Adam Tatlock, Sean Pine, Keyshawn Baker, Jacob Cummings, and Ben Hjort to help repair a bridge so access to the full property could be restored to this local attraction.
Tammy Castle and her family were thankful for the help of Bell and his Mu Theta brothers. “The amount of work they performed in such a short period of time was incredible and had a tremendous positive impact for our family. The crew displayed great communication skills and were able to work together efficiently and with positive attitudes.”
Pollywogg Holler is named for the serenade of frogs that fills the evening air. Since 1986, it has offered campsites and is known as an eco-friendly resort for those seeking an escape from civilization.
Mu Theta is one of six active fraternities at Alfred State and is founded on brotherhood, academics, community service, and leadership. They enjoy the outdoors and serving the community.
