Involvement on Campus
Being one of the very few recognized Asian interest Sorority in Stony Brook University, we are extremely active on campus. We hold events, fundraising, raise awareness, and is involved in IFSC (Inter Fraternity and Sorority Council) events held in Stony Brook. Including attending Toys for Tots, Habitat for Humanities and much more. Other than raising awareness for our own philantropy, Breast Cancer, over the years we have commited our time to reach out and help other charities as well, including Domestic Violence, Project Saving China, Project Michelle, etc. We take much pride in our dedication for our service. Every small step counts towards a better community on campus, and worldwide.
IFSC Events: Toys for Tots and Chocolate Factory
Other Services
26-year old Michelle Maykin was originally diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, a cancer of the blood, on February 27, 2007. After undergoing 5 rounds of chemotherapy, Michelle reached a state of remission and slowly began to reclaim her life. She also dedicated herself to helping others by creating Project Michelle, a campaign focused on recruiting people to become potential bone marrow donors.
For Michelle to be cured of her leukemia, her treatment plan will include even more intensive chemotherapy, radiation, and a bone marrow transplant. Unfortunately, Michelle does not currently have a bone marrow match and will not be able to undergo a transplant without one. Michelle is determined to win her battle with leukemia, but she now needs the generosity of others to succeed.
Project Michelle was started by Michelle’s close friends and family, but has grown into an incredible nationwide volunteer effort that lives through the support from all of you. Thank you for giving Michelle and other bone marrow transplant patients a new chance at life. For more information visit: http://projectmichelle.com
Our Story
Incredibly touched by this remarkable young woman's journey, we have adapted her intriguing ideas and decided it was our duty to help her find a donor, not only to save her life, but to save the lives of many people who have been diagnosed with the same disease. Since Spring of 2008, sisters of Stony alpha Kappa Delta Phi have been holding events for her cause, and swabbed many cheeks in hopes to find a match.
