FARGO, N.D. (KVRR) — Trying to hold fast to your lenten promises?
A North Dakota State University Fraternity Has Some Fish For You.
The NDSU Farmhouse Fraternity is running its twelfth annual fish fry with proceeds supporting the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
The partnership with the organization started back in 2008 at the request of the undergraduate brother, John Ramine, from the Purdue chapter.
Ramine was undergoing treatment for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and saw an opportunity to have the fraternity partner with the organization.
“We’re a very open group of men here. Anybody is welcome to the event. We get a whole bunch of college students and alumni that come by. But we also get a whole bunch of people just from the FM area that have no connection to NDSU or Farmhouse at all, but just come to support a good cause,” said Gannon Rockstad, Vice President of Finance at Farmhouse.
While their frat brother had passed away from the disease the tradition continues to live on with his brothers at the fraternity.
