Sara Calvert, a secona-year advertising student and the sorority’s philanthropy chair woman, said the sorority mem bers on Monday will distribute carnations, with a printed fact about domestic violence at tached to each. “The people who receive carnations then pass them on to others,” Calvert said. Alpha Chi Omega will hold a banner competition Tuesday on Greene Street and will give out purple ribbons in front of the Russell House on Wednesday. The sorority’s biggest event, Calvert said, is its second an nual volleyball brawl, from 4 to 8 p.m. Wednesday at Jillian’s. The event will raise money for Sistercare, which helps bat tered women.
