On Tuesday, October 27, the Kappa Tau chapter of Alpha Chi Omega hosted their first Luminary Walk, held on Fairfield Way. The purpose of the event was to bring awareness to domestic violence. Their national philanthropy is Domestic Violence Awareness, Prevention, and Education.
Passerby’s could write a message on a paper bag about what love actually is. There were also signs that you could take pictures with to show your support for the cause. Candles were placed in the bags and lined Fairfield Way. People could also indulge in donuts and hot chocolate provided by the organization.
