Purdue sororities, fraternities to sponsor annual Halloween event

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - The Purdue Panhellenic Association, joined by the Interfraternity Council and Multicultural Greek Council, will sponsor the annual Halloween Trick-or-Treating event for families throughout the community from 3-5 p.m. Sunday (Oct. 26).

Parents can accompany their children to a number of university organizations' doorsteps for a safe environment of trick-or-treating. There is no cost to participate.

Each sorority and fraternity participating in the event will be identified with orange and black balloons displayed outside the front of the house as well as a Halloween-themed sheet sign.

Maps will be available at Waldron and Third streets. Participating houses also will have maps of other stops around campus.
