What is Circle of Sisterhood?

Founded in 2010 by sorority woman Ginny Carol, Circle of Sisterhood is an organization that removes barriers to education and promotes gender equality by giving women across the globe the opportunity to go to school.

From providing funds from school supplies to school builds, the organization strives to give women the right to an education so as to elevate these women from their current situations. Getting an education can help women stay out of human trafficking and gender violence, as well as improve their physical health. 

How has Panhellenic at the University of Tennessee benefitted Circle of Sisterhood?

Over the past three years, we've successfully raised funds to build a school in Senegal through a partnership with Circle of Sisterhood. Through diverse fundraising initiatives and events, we’ve garnered support from the Panhellenic community who share our commitment to empowering women.

This May, a group of 13 women representing 8 different chapters from the Panhellenic community will be traveling to Senegal to lay the foundation for a school, where over 50% of students will be girls. This Trek to Senegal allows for us to recommit to Circle of Sisterhood as a philanthropic partner based on first-hand experience uplifting a community through education. This experience will bring a better understanding of the need to educate girls around the world by sharing the story of the Trek experience with the Panhellenic and Greek Life community.
