"Alpha Chi Omega Iota Phi will be hosting our annual spring philanthropy event, Walk A Mile in Her Shoes on April 5, 2020 at 12:00 pm. The event will be held virtually on Zoom due to the COVID-19 crisis where we will hear from a representative at our philanthropic partner, BHCare. 

"Once the speech has concluded all participants should strap their high heels on and take their own symbolic walk. We encourage a $3 participation donation but it is not required and  we inspire all, men and women, to partake in our event and quite literally, walk in her shoes. 

"Alpha Chi Omega Iota Phi is a sorority at Quinnipiac University in Hamden, CT. Our philanthropy is Domestic Violence Awareness and we raise money for a local shelter: BHCare's The Umbrella Center for Domestic Violence Services."
