Cal State San Bernardino Greek fraternities and sororities show their bigheartedness to Yucaipa Valley community by sprucing up Yucaipa Regional Park on Saturday

YUCAIPA - Yucaipa Regional Park - especially the one acre swim lagoon - showed its winter wear and needed a clean up in time for the park's annual Memorial Day weekend opening. So about 150 members of the California State University San Bernardino Greek Community united as a volunteer labor force to get the job done on Saturday.

They pulled weeds, painted walls and buildings, racked debris from the swim lagoon's sandy beaches, planted trees, plants, and flowers, picked up trash, and cleaned up the volleyball sand court. And when they had finished their all-day work, the park sparkled like new again.

"This brings all the Greeks together for a good cause in being united to help out our surrounding communities," said Humberto Estrada, president of the Lambda Theta Phi fraternity. "That's what the Greek life is all about, giving back."
