Follow on Google News | Brothers of Pi Lambda Phi “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes” Event for the Second Year in a RowJunior Leyba, ’14, Resident Assistant already had $170 donated in his name before stepping into heels, thanks to one of the students in his hall who’d heard about the event. Halfway through the day, he’d already done 15 laps, but had been making frequent stops to spread the word around campus. While many brothers found the walk in heels uncomfortable, to say the least, Junior said it wasn’t bad. He was “rocking his socks” to help protect his feet from blisters, which he’d experienced after last year’s Walk a Mile. Michael La Sala, ’14, President of Pi Lambda Phi, said that the heels, which were generously donated by Adelphi sororities and the Office of Public Affairs, got people’s attention and helped garner interest in their cause. He thought, “It was great to see so many organizations on campus coming together for this important cause. “ To add an element of competition to the event, the brothers kept track of how much each walker was raising on a poster. That being said, the brother’s also showed support for fellow walkers, yelling “strut!” and “heel toe!” to each other.
