Support hurricane relief at ATO party

In light of recent devastations caused by Hurricane Irma, the Hillsdale College chapter of Alpha Tau Omega will hold a foam party Saturday evening at 10 p.m.

Tickets are free, but the fraternity is asking for donations, which will go towards relief funds for those displaced by the disaster. The party will be at the ATO annex, located next to the Ambler Health Center.

ATO philanthropy chair senior Steven Sartore said he plans to send the funds to an organization that benefits those affected by the storm, though he has not yet decided on a particular organization.

Sartore said that he is not sure all students would support Red Cross donations.

“We’re worried some students feel the Red Cross doesn’t align with their views on abortion,” Sartore said. “We’re looking at other charities involved in Irma relief that students may feel more comfortable with.”

While ATO has held several parties in the past, including a toga party and a beach party, this will be their first foam party. Sartore added that while their toga party usually takes place at this time of the year, they haven’t “ruled out Toga Party just yet.”
