Robert Morris University fraternity maintains commitment to environmental stewardship through Adopt-a-Highway program

MOON TOWNSHIP, PA – The Mu Upsilon Chapter of Phi Mu Delta Fraternity at Robert Morris University demonstrated their ongoing commitment to environmental service by conducting a highway cleanup as part of their Adopt-a-Highway responsibilities.

Alex Franks, Vice President of Community Impact, coordinated the cleanup effort which involved dividing chapter members into two groups that started at different points along their designated highway section and worked toward the middle to ensure comprehensive coverage.

"The community benefited by having trash be removed off the side of the road which also made the local environment cleaner," said Franks, highlighting the direct environmental impact of the fraternity's volunteer work.

The highway cleanup represents part of Phi Mu Delta's broader commitment to community service and environmental stewardship. The chapter has maintained their Adopt-a-Highway commitment as a regular service activity, demonstrating the organization's dedication to ongoing community impact rather than one-time volunteer efforts.

Looking ahead, the chapter plans to continue their environmental service commitment. "We will be doing our adopt a highway again next semester during Greek Week," Franks confirmed, showing the integration of service projects into the broader Greek life community at Robert Morris University.

The chapter is also expanding their service partnerships, with Franks noting, "Next steps are to get in talks with an organization called Hope Grows with whom we've helped in the past," demonstrating Phi Mu Delta's approach to building sustained relationships with community organizations.
