Gamma Phi Beta hosted Pie-a-GPhi, raising money for their philanthropic partners Girls On The Run. The organization provides mentors to young girls, supporting them into their teen years.
Gamma Phi Beta Social Media Chair and radiologic technology sophomore Molly Kinman shared more about the partnership.
“They are an after school organization that has volunteers come and guide and mentor girls ages seven-to-13 just about life skills, and help guide them,” Kinman said.
In order to help raise as much money as possible for the non-profit, Gamma Phi Beta started Moon Week this year. In edition to Pie-a-GPhi, the sorority also hosted several other events throughout the week. This included a fundraiser with Chili’s, Grilled Cheese with GPhiBs and street donations.
“We decided that we really just wanted to strive to help with Girls On The Run as much as we could and we planned out to do multiple events throughout the week to help support and raise more money,” Kinman siad
At the end of the week, the sorority hosts its annual Moonball tournament.
“We just do Moonball. So normally we just do the tournament and it’s either a kickball tournament or a volleyball tournament. We switch off every year,” Kinman stated. Not only is Moon Week about raising money for Girls On The Run, but it also aims to connect and support other Greek organizations.
“We’ve been really striving recently with Greek unity. Like, we supported APhi and SAE’s weeks that they had and they’re supporting us right back so it’s just a general support system that we’ve been striving for,” Kinman said, continuing “I think that it’s coming back in good ways.”
Overall, the sorority raised $200 for its philanthropic partner.
