Throughout the multiple years that the Eta Upsilon Chapter of Sigma Sigma Sigma at Lynchburg College has been established; we have been in dire need of a new sofa. We initially received a donated sofa from our Alpha chapter at Longwood in 2007. However, as the years have gone by the sofa has aged unpleasantly: the material is slowly detaching itself, the springs are coming out of the bottom, there is no longer a cushion, and we have wooden boards preventing us from collapsing in.
