Panhellenic Council members worked to spread happiness and self-confidence to all JMU students. Lis Palmer, senior Delta Gamma and VP of Rho Gammas for Panhellenic explains that "Panhellenic Exec was on the Commons selling shirts to raise money for their philanthropy First Step, a battered women's shelter in Harrisonburg. In addition to selling shirts, Exec passed out candy with quotes about inner beauty, had a mirror where people could write in lipstick what inner beauty meant to them, and other activities where students on campus could think about and show what inner beauty meant to them."
The main event, the Role Model Fashion Show, took place on Tuesday night. Each sorority nominated multiple women from their chapter to be role models and Panhellenic selected the final two from each chapter. Our two representatives were senior Lis Palmer and sophomore Nyssa Wratschko. Lis gushes about the amazing experience: "It was wonderful to meet and interact with women from the Greek community who are valued as role models and make a difference in their chapter."
Nyssa had the same feeling, she states that "the best part about last night wasn't wearing the beautiful dress or being on stage, it was being backstage with all of the other role models in our community. We had so much fun getting to know each other, helping each other out with last minute dress fixes or shoe changes and trying to figure out what to do on stage that didn't make us look like fools. I met some absolutely fantastic women and loved every minute of last night!"
