Marshall University sorority Alpha Chi Omega is selling tickets for Pies with “Alpha Chi” to support victims of domestic violence.

Tickets are on sale for $5. The ticket includes two slices of pizza, chips, a drink and a slice of pie.

“We hope to bring in a lot of revenue for Branches Domestic Violence shelter and raise awareness to a problem that seems to be swept under the rug often,” said Alpha Chi president Hanna Brown. “All of the proceeds from Pies with Alpha Chi will be going toward Branches Domestic Violence shelter.”

Alpha Chi member Karyn Kovalick said it is pertinent for students to aid organizations that help the community, even if they might not need the services provided.

“It is really important for us to have these events because Branches relies on us and our proceeds to help maintain a suitable living situation for the women who have to live there temporarily,” Kovalick said.

Members of Alpha Chi are obtaining event planning experience and community service involvement through preparing for the event scheduled.

“Branches is such a remarkable organization, and they truly deserve all of the help that they can get to makes sure their operations stay strong and steady because their work is second to none,” Kovalick said. “Pies will be great for me personally because I joined a sorority for the community service aspect, and any time we have these popular and successful events, it means Branches is able to continue their work to help troubled women and children in the area.”

Pies with Alpha Chi will be Friday from 4 to 9 p.m. at the Alpha Chi suite, located across from the CVS Pharmacy on Fifth Avenue and next to Tudors Biscuit World.
