Down short gravel roads, through parking lots and past gated playing fields, the Gold Dome is tucked behind Lampkin Park.

Inside, 10 men are scattered around the open, nearly empty pavilion, transforming it from a damp, lifeless space to an intense, colorful boxing ring.

Two guys chat near the Budweiser wagon behind the snack tables. Others move risers across the floor.

Amidst the tracks of water from the rain outside and the hiss of brooms sweeping the concrete floor, London junior and Sigma Chi president Reece Schenkenfelder stands on the edge of the room, hurriedly swapping between cell phone calls and questions from his fraternity brothers.

“Planning has been stressful, very busy,” he said. “But it will be worthwhile when this comes together.”

Schenkenfelder is one of the coordinators, along with Alex Aymett and Zach Miller, of the Sigma Chi Battle of the Greeks, an annual boxing event.

After two nights of boxing, proceeds from ticket, T-shirt and concession sales will be donated to the Huntsman Cancer Institute in Salt Lake City, Utah.

“This is the largest philanthropic effort on campus,” Schenkenfelder said. “A lot of people are excited about it.”

Sigma Chi and other participating Greeks hope to exceed last year’s $20,000 earnings and crowd of about 1,500. With the help of sponsors including OneRiot, Utley’s and JB Distributors, Schenkenfelder is confident they will.

The event, in its fifth year, is scheduled for tonight and tomorrow night at 7. Tickets are $5 for students and $10 for the general public.

Despite some negative views of Greeks and the event, Sigma Chi remains optimistic.

“Don’t judge unless you’re involved,” Calhoun freshman Josh Whitt said. “It’s a great cause. I don’t see anyone else doing it.”

Schenkenfelder said he has high expectations about the match. It isn’t about fighting and getting drunk, he said.

“Greeks do a lot more than what we’re known for,” he said. “It benefits others others and everyone has fun.”
