The Ronald McDonald House provides a place for families to stay when they have a child in the hospital receiving critical care. Our chapter is lucky enough to have a RMH located just 10 minutes from our campus. Because of this close proximity, we are able to have girls at the house daily completing a multitude of tasks such as cooking meals, cleaning, working at the front desk and walking Alphie, the Golden Doodle our chapter donated to RMH back in 2017. 

 

This past year, our chapter raised over $52,000 for Ronald McDonald House Charities and the Alpha Delta Pi Foundation. To make this possible, our chapter holds two major Philanthropy events each year. Our Pie-a-Pi Letter Writing Campaign takes place in the spring semester. At this event, all of our sisters gather at the Pi Palace and write letters to friends, family, and alumni asking them to sponsor a sister during our Pie-a-Pi event that takes place on campus in the following weeks. In the fall we host our chapter’s annual Boot Scootin BBQ. The event kicks off our University of South Carolina parent’s weekend with a night full of country music, BBQ, and a silent auction! 

 

In addition to these two major events, we hold many small fundraising events on campus throughout the year such as bake sales and percent nights at local businesses.
