Here is how a lot of PNM's handle it

Most PNM's say something like "your philanthropy means a lot to me" or "I have a connection with domestic violence" they will leave it more vague. The sorority girls will take note of it, but I don't think they will want to necessarily have a conversation about it. I also don't think you should give them all the background information on what you have been through, but I certainly think it is ok to acknowledge it.
