Lawrence University’s sororities and fraternities are joining together to host a Greek philanthropy weekend May 21-23, with an additional kick-off event on May 15. The weekend, organized by the Lawrence University Panhellenic Council and Interfraternity Council (IFC), the governing bodies of campus sororities and fraternities respectively, will include events that raise money for each Greek Life’s organization and the Lawrence Student Food Pantry.
“Everyone involved thinks that it is particularly important to be supporting our philanthropies as best as we can, especially during the pandemic,” junior Erin Jackson, the president of Delta Gamma, said. “All of our organizations have taken a hit this past year, and being able to give back is really important to [Panhel] and IFC.”

FAIRFIELD, Conn. Sacred Heart University recently participated in its ninth annual “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes” and hosted the online event for the Center for Family Justice in Bridgeport. With the walk, SHU continues its commitment to raising awareness and funding for victims of domestic violence and sexual abuse. This was the second year that the pandemic forced an alternative to the customary walk-a-thon.
Gary MacNamara, SHU’s executive director of public safety and government affairs, and Debra Greenwood, president and CEO of the Center for Family Justice (CFJ), hosted the event.
The CFJ, based in Bridgeport, is marking its 125th year in 2021. It offers no-cost, confidential and bilingual services to women and children from Bridgeport, Easton, Fairfield, Monroe, Stratford and Trumbull who have been abused or assaulted.
