Kennesaw State’s Panhellenic Council hosted its inaugural Brothers for Sisters pageant on Oct. 23., bringing members of the university’s fraternity and sorority community together to raise funds and awareness for women’s education worldwide.  

The pageant concluded a week of fundraising and educational activities organized through Brothers for Sisters, an initiative developed in partnership with the Interfraternity Council (IFC) to support Panhellenic Council’s philanthropy, Circle for Sisterhood.  

Throughout the week of Oct. 19-23, fraternity members participated in tabling events, including an informational campaign, a book drive benefiting Books for Africa, and a “Pie a Brother” fundraiser. The participating students worked to educate the campus community about the Circle of Sisterhood’s mission while raising money for the cause.

Circle of Sisterhood unites sorority members across organizations, generations, and backgrounds to help remove educational barriers for girls and women experiencing poverty and oppression around the world.  

“My goal was to put together an event that was about more than just a pageant. I wanted to bring Panhellenic and IFC together, strengthen relationships between our organizations, and create an opportunity for us to come together for a meaningful cause,” said Jennifer Tate, vice president of service and enrichment for Panhellenic Council and the event organizer.

At the pageant, contestants competed for three titles through a series of categories, including Circle of Sisterhood trivia, reading children’s books, and mini games. The event raised $450, with half of the proceeds going to Circle of Sisterhood and the other half supporting the philanthropy of the Most Philanthropic winner’s fraternity.

Dariq Chamblin, representing Alpha Tau Omega, earned the Brothers for Sisters title, awarded to the contestant who received the highest overall score from the judges. Charlie Wright, representing Sigma Alpha Epsilon, was named Most Philanthropic for raising the most money during the week. Diego Suarez, representing Delta Tau Delta, won People’s Choice, selected by audience members in attendance.  

“It’s about the friendships we build, the support we show one another, and what we can accomplish when we come together,” Tate said.  
Through Brothers for Sisters, Panhellenic Council and IFC demonstrated how collaboration across fraternity and sorority organizations can turn campus engagement into meaningful support for a shared cause.
