Throughout the month of April, the
ladies of Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Inc. and Lambda Theta Nu
Sorority, Inc. united their efforts in the 1st annual "Women-4-Women:
Stopping the Violence Against Women" community service. The focus in
2004 was geared towards ending the violence against women in Cuidad Juarez
and Chihuahua, Mexico. The goal was to attain over 10,000 signatures on
petitions that were circulated via university campuses nationwide. These
petitions will be addressed to the heads of state in Mexico in order to
request more governmental intervention and protection for victimized women
in Mexico. |
Sisters at Beta Delta hosted an
information night
about the violence occurring in Juarez. Dr. Grace Delgado
was the keynote speaker and former mayor of El Paso, Bill Tilney,
also
attended the event. El Paso is a neighboring city of Juarez
and has been affected by the situation in Juarez.
