Nineteen sisters from Trine University’s Theta Phi Alpha sorority volunteered at Pokagon
State Park on Saturday, Oct. 22. The sorority sisters donated a total of 21.25 hours
of service to the park, collecting bags of trash and trimming back the hiking trails.
Sorority members had previously helped at the park during the Martin Luther King Day
of Service, and the entire sorority decided to return in the fall.
