White ribbons will be given to
men on campus next week in an ef
fort to gather support for the White
Ribbon Campaign. For the second
year in a row, UNC Wilmington’s
fraternity members and male ath
letes will unite in a nationwide ef
fort to fight violence against
women.
According to Brian Hemphill, as
sociate dean of students, the univer
sity has planned a variety of events
to support the campaign, which be
gan in Canada in 1990. The cam

“I know last year was the first
year that UNCW participated in the
campaign, but 1 think it’s saying a
lot in that the fraternities and ath-
letes are going to all measures to
promote this type of leadership. It’s
a big effort and it does make a dif
ference,” said Keith Huxley, a
member of the Chi Phi fraternity and
co-chair of the White Ribbon
Project in charge of ordering and
distributing ribbons on campus.
Huxley also expressed apprecia
tion for fellow co-chair Steve
Hernandez, a member of the Delta
Tau Delta fraternity.
Hemphill, as well as Phillip
Brown of University Relations,
holds Huxley’s optimistic point of
view. Both agree that UNCW should
see an increase in participation and
support of the White Ribbon Cam
paign this year.
