I'm from Iota Psi at Elon University. For our philanthropy day, we get clothing racks from department stores and collect clothes from a clothing drive and take the PNMs shopping. They pick out an outfit, either dressy or casual, for a woman at the local shelter for abused women. They also can make a card to stick in the bag with the outfit with a simple inspirational phrase. When they're done, they "check out" at a table where some of our sisters place the items in paper shopping bags. It's always a lot of fun and sparks some good conversations. We also put facts about domestic violence on shopping bags all around the room.
Hope this helps
ITB, Sharon
