Selfie loving Sorority Girls Ask for Donations

"Alpha Chi Omega at Arizona State University would like to thank the Arizona Diamondbacks and Fox Sports for reaching out to the chapter after last night's game and subsequent media frenzy. We appreciate their generous offer of tickets to tonight's game. However, instead of chapter members attending the game, we have asked the Diamondbacks and Fox Sports to provide tickets to a future game for families at A New Leaf, a local non-profit that helps support victims of domestic violence."

Very well done by that chapter.  Kudos to them.

Of course a good chunk of Jezebel commenters still found a way to hate.  That site is toxic

I will personally guarantee that no one from the chapter wrote that response.  Anytime a Greek organization releases a statement of this nature, it's coming from a headquarters office/staffer. 

That said, still a nice gesture, but I'm guessing these ladies have no clue that the season is over.

I wouldn't think it was any of the girls in the video, but in my Greek experience (former roommate was a Chapter president and another was head of communications for a chapter), there is dialogue between the chapter and nationals.  Thats the same as dismissing philanthropy or community service because its coordinated at levels above them.

In my experience, it's the national organization that will identify a specific philanthropy or charity, but the chapters are in charge of their own logistics to achieve that goal.  That's a far cry from the chapter president forwarding an email written by a national officer or having someone ghost-write a release for her.

Every chapter has a national philanthropy. I know sororitys stick with it for the most part but a lot of fraternities have their own individual philanthropy. My chapter's philanthropy was different than our nationals, and yes, organization of events is all on the individual chapters. Nationals do nothing in that regard.
