Pi Kappa Phi hosts a Carolina Green benefit dinner

Pi Kappa Phi hosted a Carolina Green benefit dinner called “Wingin’ It with Best Buddies and Pi Kappa Phi” on Friday, January 14 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. They served chicken wings along with sides such as vegan pasta salad and vegetarian coleslaw. The event, which took place at the Pi Kappa Phi house, had over 400 guests and raised over $1,000 for Best Buddies and Push America. Both of these organizations seek to improve the lives of people with physical and mental disabilities from across the country. This first ever fraternity-only sponsored Greek Carolina Green event earned the certification of Light Green and had 1.20% trash, 1.20% recycling and 97.60% of compost. This means that 98.80% of the waste produced was diverted from the landfill and instead, placed in the compost! The brothers of Pi Kappa Phi worked very hard to put on this Carolina Green Event, and their dedication to the environment is very much appreciated.
