Mizzou Senior Sits on Ass While AEPi Brothers Raise Money

Fraternity Rocks Chair-ity

Brothers of the University of Missouri's chapter of Alpha Epsilon Pi spent the past weekend raising money for charity, while one brother just sat on his ass.

In an event called the "Rock-a-thon," AEPi brothers collected money for the American Cancer Society, while senior Phil Oliphant sat in the shade on a rocking chair.

Oliphant was selected by his brothers as this year's representative to sit on the chair. Since 1969, the fraternity has chosen one brother to sit in the chair for 63 hours, while the others collect money.

“I got an hour and a half of sleep the first night,” Oliphant said. “So not so much, but while I was sleeping, I had somebody rocking the chair for me, keeping it going because obviously that movement cannot stop.”
