In a heartfelt effort to make a difference, the Circle of Sisterhood, a nonprofit organization founded by sorority women, is calling on the Panhellenic community to help combat educational inequalities for girls and women around the world.
Access to quality education remains a significant issue, especially for women. It’s reported that two-thirds of all illiterate adults globally are women and only about 7% of the world’s population has a college degree. The Circle of Sisterhood aims to change these statistics by harnessing the collective strength of one of the largest groups of college-educated women.
“Yes. So LSU adopted the Circle of Sisterhood in January of 2023. And when I stepped into my role in December of 2023, I wasn’t aware of the lack of education in the Panhellenic community. One of my first goals coming in was to educate the Panhellenic community a little bit more,” Taylor Davlin, Director of Philanthropy for LSU Panhellenic said.
The initiative is about more than just raising money. It’s a call for sorority women to come together and support education globally. The funds raised will go towards a partnership with a company that builds schools in areas that need them the most, providing crucial resources for young women seeking education.
“Our goal by the end of my term, which is in a little bit over a month, is to raise $10,000 that will go towards a grant for Circle of Sisterhood to buy school supplies, school clothes, and feminine products for women across the world,” Davlin said.
As the fundraising campaign continues, the Circle of Sisterhood stays focused on its mission to support women through education and advocate for equality. With a dedicated group of sorority women leading the way, the organization is ready to make a meaningful difference in the fight against educational barriers.
