We raise a ton of money for a good cause,\u201d Chilton said from on top of the box.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery organization does their part to raise money,\u201d he continued, \u201cbut I think our group is the most dedicated and committed to philanthropy on campus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fraternity members each take turns spending four-hour shifts on top of the box. The worst part about having a late-night shift, according to Chilton, isn\u2019t the fatigue. \u201cNo one is around to talk to,\u201d he said. \u201cWe had an X-box out here earlier in the week at night, but the wind earlier this week ripped our tent up. So much for that idea.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the week, Michael Fischer, junior, and Dr. Greg Guelcher, faculty advisor, were manning the box during lunch on a weekday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt hasn\u2019t been boring yet!\u201d Fischer said happily. \u201cPeople have been by to play football, Frisbee.\u00a0 People keep coming by to buy t-shirts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Guelcher was crouching on the box, grading a stack of papers. \u201cSomeone must be standing at all times,\u201d he mentioned as he looked up for a moment. \u201cI\u2019m still on my feet, so this counts,\u201d he said with a laugh.<\/p>\n<p>All donations and t-shirt sale proceeds went to the Susan G.
