Philanthropy- Tri-Iota has established a book club with Girls, Inc. We chose a new book every semester to read and discuss with the girls at Girls, Inc. Tri-Iota buys about 20 books to give to the girls. Our current book is The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd. This provides a great opportunity for the girls to get empowered through reading and for Tri-Iota members to mentor girls in becoming strong, capable, and confident young women.
* This semester we are taking donations to purchase the books, and we are asking for ideas for the book we choose to purchase for next semester.
