The Circle of Sisterhood & High Heel Derby
The Drexel University Panhellenic Council's adopted philanthropy is The Circle of Sisterhood. The Circle of Sisterhood's mission is to levereage the collective influence of sorority women to raise financial resources for entities around the world that are removing educational barriers for girls and women facing poverty and opression. Studies have shown that eduacating girls is one of the most effective ways to fight poverty. For more information on the Circle of Sisterhood, visit their website, http://www.circleofsisterhood.org.
To raise money for the foundation, Drexel PHC hosts the annual high heel derby in the Spring term.
"The Circle of Sisterhood Foundation is a mechanism by which all sorority women can stand together across affiliation, age, color, and creed to make a difference in the lives of millions of girls and women. Collectively, we can do much more than we could as individuals or individual groups. We can give others an equal chance for rewarding lives and livelihoods through schooling, the learning of a trade, or even a college degree."
