Loyola Greek Life organizations said they are excited to return to in person philanthropy events this spring to give back to the community of New Orleans as a whole.
Pi Kappa Phi fraternity President Colin Richards said in person philanthropy allows members to help others while creating the personal connections we are lacking during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Richards said Pi Kappa Phi’s philanthropy is to support kids with disabilities in the community. He said one way they fulfill their philanthropy is through Miracle League, an organization that allows kids with disabilities to play baseball in the community.
“I feel like a lot of people can feel left out and we get to set aside a time on a Saturday morning to go make people feel included. It’s really rewarding,” Richards said.
Assistant Vice President of Student Life and Ministry Dale O’Neill said there are currently 13 active Greek Life chapters on Loyola campus. She said Loyola’s Greek Life will expand by three additional organizations within the next year – Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Inc., Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc. and Delta Chi Fraternity.
“Fraternity and sorority chapters through their service give back to the Loyola community by representing the Loyola students consistently out in the community,” O’Neill said.
