Around 200 gifts were distributed, donated through the National Pan-Hellenic Council’s Lafayette Chapter.

The sororities and fraternities who assisted in gathering the gifts and delivering them to the public housing staff for wrapping and labeling were: Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc.; Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.; Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc.; Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.; Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.; Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc.; and Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. The delivery of these gifts by NPHC is scheduled for Tuesday, December 18, 2018, at the Lafayette Housing Authority.
