Although, as a chapter, we naturally bond with our own members, every chapter has an employee or neighbor in which their daily interactions help to develop ameaningful friendship, one that mostpeople likely never expected. LSU’s PiKappa Phi seems to have done just that with one of the house cook’s from their neighbor, Chi Omega.

LaTrece Antoinette isn’t an employee of the chapter. In fact, she doesn’t even directly work with the chapter. She works for the sorority next door, but her frequent visits have helped her become close to the brothers of Pi Kapp. LaTrece had been saving tirelessly in order to send her son to Europe with his class, something that had obviously been shared with the fraternity at some point. Being that it’s the Christmas season, the guys saw this as a great opportunity to help a lady who gives them and their neighbors so much. So they called her over one night and presented her with a $3,000 check, enough to send her son, Christopher, to Europe.
