Miami University students examine different options for selling back textbooks
According to sophomore Jonathan Rogowski, Phi Delta Theta fundraising chair, Phi Delts do not sell their text books back to bookstores, but to the UPS Store located on South College Avenue.
The UPS Store Owner Bob Coley said, "One of the things we offer is that social groups on campus, sororities and fraternities can encourage students to mention the group's name to get a benefit for the group from selling their books - this cash benefit is in addition to the cash that the student personally receives for the value of the book."
"Phi Delta Theta for example, the member still gets the full amount for the book buy back but we also donate a certain percentage back to their organization," Coley said.
Rogowski said he appreciated the collaboration Phi Delt has with the UPS Store.
"It's another option for students, if they are getting a bad price at the uptown stores or on campus or if either of those places aren't buying those editions back, the UPS store will buy those editions back and give you cash on the spot for it just like at any other bookstore," Rogowski said. "It's a fundraiser for us when you go in and mention our fraternity name, Phi Delta Theta or Phi Delt, and then Bob will make a mark on that and we receive a certain percentage of all the sales that help go toward philanthropic events and other sorts of things that we have to pay for."
