Kappa Kappa Gamma, Chi Omega, and Pi Beta Phi are requesting students’ help for their fall philanthropy events.
With goals to support their respective charities, the sororities said they are introducing new events and holding annual favorites.
On Friday at 5 p.m., the Kappa house invites campus to participate in its first-ever basket auction. The women will auction homemade dinner baskets, and winners are welcome to bring friends to the subsequent picnic in Slayton Arboretum. All proceeds go to the Alpha Omega Care Center.
“Come bid on your friends,” Kappa philanthropy chairwoman junior English Hinton said.
Chi Omega is holding its annual volleyball tournament Saturday at 1 p.m. in Roche Sports Complex. Teams of six to 10 players can sign up for $50 through Friday in the Grewcock Student Union. The sorority will have concessions and a raffle at the tournament. All proceeds go to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Last year’s proceeds totaled $1,000, and senior Christina Dressel said she hopes this year’s event will match that.
On Oct. 8 at 7 p.m. in McNamara Hall, Pi Beta Phi will hold its annual Mr. Hillsdale competition. Women from sorority houses and dorms will also compete for the first time in a spelling bee. Tickets are $5 to attend, supporting Read Lead Achieve, a charity promoting literacy.
