Ari's Battle of the Bands

235 West Washington Street,Athens GA 30601

25 March, 2023

Description

In Fall of 2021, we lost one of our sisters Ariana Zarse in a hit-and-run accident in downtown Athens. Better known as Ari to the chapter and her close friends, she was a light in our chapter and loved by everyone. From her involvement in our chapter as Director of Social Events, to participating in on-campus philanthropy events, and working at Saucehouse and Boar’s Head Lounge, Ari is well known among the UGA community. We are dedicating this event to her through her love of music and social events. All proceeds from this event will be donated to a Memorial Fund set up with University of Georgia's Greek Life Office. This Memorial Fund sponsors a scholarship given to a member of UGA Greek Life in either Panhellnic, Interfraternity Council, Multicultural Greek Life, or National Panhellnic Council to help pay for their chaper dues, or donate the money to their philantropy. Ari meant so much to so many people, and this event will help her memory live on.

SafeD Athens is a nonprofit dedicated to improving safety and security infrastructure for the University of Georgia’s campus and the city of Athens, Georgia. SafeD Athens Bands will be announced at a later date! Follow us on Instagram @arisbattleofthebands for all updated information!
