A Delta Sigma Phi Red Cedar River Cleanup

The Red Cedar River cleanup is more than stewardship. It's a celebration of community.

What started as a need to clean up a small bend in the Red Cedar River has developed into Michigan's largest student-led community-wide waterways stewardship event. This fall's event is a collaboration between MSU's Delta Sigma Phi fraternity, Okemos High School Earth Club, Meridian Township, and Michigan Waterways Stewards.

We are expecting a volunteer count greater than 200 this spring, making this event its largest.

This is the Delta Sigma Phi's fifth community-wide event. Each one so well received, this event continues to grow in size and scope. This fall event will be our largest.

Join us for an afternoon of stewardship and community. There are many opportunities for those who choose to help on the water or prefer to create impact on dry land. Whatever your preference, we'll find a place for you to help.

Everything needed will be provided for our volunteers, including: garbage bags, trash pickers, PPE gloves, hand sanitizer snacks, water, and more. At event headquarters there will be a small bonfire, food and drinks, and recreation too. If you wish to volunteer with a group of six or more, we'll feature your organization's logo or team name in our marketing. If you wish to support financially or in-kind, we would love to hear from you.

We would love to feature your organization as an event partner, sponsor, or volunteer organization. It is because of the generous support of so many that our work is possible, that our Red Cedar River is cleaner, healthier, and more pleasant to use..
