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. Alpha Chi
Omega raised $1,500 for the
women’s shelter at last year’s
tournament, but Calvert said
the sorority hopes it will raise
more this year because 22 or
ganizations are participating.
The Office for Sexual Health
and Violence Prevention, on call
24 hours a day, offers services to
aid victims and teach students
how to avoid domestic violence.

Student organizations and class
es will personalize the place set
tings in memory of someone lost
to domestic violence.
“I think that these programs
are a very good idea because a
lot of people aren’t aware of
how widespread domestic vio
lence is and how many people
it effects,” said Camille Vance,
a third-year marketing student.
Also among the week’s events
is a cell phone drive; the office is
asking people to donate old
phones to be reprogrammed and
distributed to victims of violence
or those who feel threatened by
violence. The phones, which will
be linked to campus and local po
lice, can be dropped off at the of
fice, on the lower level of the
Thomson Student Health Center.
The Alpha Chi Omega soror
ity has several events planned
to promote domestic violence
awareness.
