Kappa Iota Chapter is recognized by peta2 for their fur-free formal

Portland, Maine — For the 100 percent fur-free formal that they held on April 25, the women of the University of Southern Maine’s Kappa Iota chapter of Kappa Delta Phi National Affiliated Sorority, Inc., have received a Compassionate Chapter Award from peta2, the world’s largest youth animal rights organization. Kappa Iota member Casey Webster and her 13 sorority sisters wore peta2’s anti-fur buttons to the formal and posed for a group photo behind a banner that read, “Fur-Free Formal 2009!”

“Every woman wants to look her best for the spring formal, but the Kappa Iota sisters’ compassion makes them radiantly beautiful,” says peta2 college campaign coordinator Ryan Huling. “By making their biggest social affair of the year fur-free, these women showed that a killer look doesn’t mean killing animals.”

The members of Kappa Iota have received a framed certificate and a thank-you card signed by peta2 staffers.
