Tri Sigma Foundation

The Delta Zeta Chapter at Bloomsburg University helped bring an anti-hazing speaker to their campus earlier this semester.

Lianne Kowiak travels and speaks to students about her son Harrison, who died after a hazing event his sophomore year in college. Lianne shared his story and the impact his passing had on her family with fraternities and sororities at Bloomsburg University, who each had over 95 percent of their members in attendance.

“It was touching and such an impactful speech,” Delta Zeta member Annie Pitts said. “She provided us with hazing prevention websites, books, and resources in case of a hazing experience.”

Tri Sigma also worked with each organization to raise a total of $1,000 for a scholarship Lianne established in her son’s name. The chapter members said they appreciated the fraternities’ and sororities’ participation in the speaking event and their support in raising this money for the scholarship fund.

“It was a great way to show our chapter supports anti-hazing efforts, and that the Greek community stands behind us,” Annie said.
