Columbia University and Sigma Phi Epsilon alumnus Steve Hofstetter has made a name for himself as one funny dude.
Hofstetter has written for collegehumor.com, Maxim, ESPN and Sports Illustrated, even claiming his own weekly column in the latter.
He found himself in the television spotlight on ESPN, Showtime, VH1, ABC and CBS’ Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. Hofstetter has also gained droves of friends and fans on Internet networking sites MySpace and Facebook. Hofstetter’s got street cred and he’s coming
to Idaho.
At 8 p.m. Oct. 13 in the Administration Building Auditorium, Kappa Delta will present Hofstetter as part of their annual philanthropic efforts. Nationally, KD supports Prevent Child Abuse America, said Fundraising Chair Samantha Clyde. In order to raise funds for PCAA, KD organizes and runs events throughout the year, varying in size and magnitude. In the spring, Clyde said, the sorority has a Shamrock Soccer Tournament that acts as the main philanthropic annual event.
“This is a great opportunity to make our philanthropy well known,” Clyde said.
KD will be selling concessions outside of the event. They will also be selling PCAA “livestrong” style bracelets. KD has been selling tickets for the event in the Idaho Commons from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. daily and will continue to do so until the Hofstetter performs.
“I’ve seen them in the Commons,” senior Matt MacPherson said. “I haven’t supported Kappa Delta in the past, but this is definitely a good cause.”
MacPherson has participated in various other sororities’ philanthropic events such as Delta Gamma’s Anchor Splash and Alpha Gamma Delta’s Dodgeball Slam. He said he feels student support is imperative and plans on attending the event.
“Any help is good help,” MacPherson said.
Hofstetter has been travelling the country, making college campuses laugh with his college-aimed humor. Clyde said the comedian contacted KD personally and made arrangements to appear
at Idaho.
Hofstetter will be performing at Washington State University on Oct. 12 and saw an opportunity to come to UI the
next day.
Tickets for this event are $5 and will be sold at the doors of the auditorium immediately prior to Hofstetter’s performance.
