The fraternity is asking people to drop by the cookout and donate supplies for students in the Discovery cluster.
Needed supplies include notebook paper, pens, pencils, pocket folders, one-subject notebooks, crayons/markers, and erasers.
According to a recent study by the National Center for Education Statistics, 94 percent of teachers say they have spent some of their own money on school supplies without reimbursement.
