Sorority selling bracelets to benefit violence shelters
One Marshall University sorority wants students to become more aware of domestic violence situations.
Alpha Chi Omega is selling Tiffany & Co. style bracelets for $8, with proceeds going to local domestic violence houses. The heart of the bracelet is engraved with, "Together We Can Make A Difference," the theme Stacey Beane, Alpha Chi Omega member, said is the sorority's focus.
Alpha Chi Omega will also be sponsoring an Angel Tree in the Memorial Student Center April 4 and 5. The sorority will sell angels for $1, and then those angels will be placed on a tree in the MSC. Proceeds from the Angel Tree will also be going to local domestic violence chapters.
The Panhellenic Council had a guest speaker come and talk to Marshall sorority members about domestic violence March 7, and Schoen said she felt it was important for girls to hear.
To support the sorority in its fund-raiser, the bracelets will be sold at the table April 4 and 5 in the MSC, as well as at the Alpha Chi Omega house at 1601 Fifth Ave.
