Sororities Combine
Charity Strength

Each year the Panhellenlc
Council uses the combined
strength of all the sororities
on campus to develop service
projects for causes such as the
American Heart Association, the
Animal Protection Society and
the Baptist Daycare Center.
These projects serve a variety
of community needs and
specialized organizations. For
example, a recent sorority
charity effort was conducted
during the month of February,
when balloons were sold on
Franklin Street every Thursday
and Friday to raise money for
the American Heart Association.
Another project 1s Derby Week,
presented each fall by Alpha Tau
Chapter of Sigma Chi and the
Panhellenlc Council. Begun 1n
1945, this fundraiser 1s the
largest charity drive on campus
and has raised more than $50,000
over the past four years.
The beneficiary of last fall's
Derby Week was the Ronald
McDonald house of Chapel Hill, a
place where families of children
being treated for serious
Illnesses at North Carolina
Memorial can stay.
Another service supported by the
Panhellenlc Council 1s the
Orange County Women's Center,
which presents workshops for
women on topics ranging from
stress management to financial
planning. It also houses the
Orange County Rape Crisis Center
and acts as a referral service
for abused women. Each sorority
1s a member of the center and
provides help, such as telephone
drive personnel.
Besides these Panhellenlc
Council coordinated activities,
each sorority has one or more
philanthropies or organizations
for which they raise money and
offer time and resources.
Inldvidual sorority fundralslng
events may include a range of
activities which not only raise
money, but develop a sense of
responsibility and civic duty
among participating members.
