FLORENCE, S.C. – The Epsilon Psi Chapter of Kappa Delta Sorority at Francis Marion University held its 16th-annual Mr. Greek Pageant on March 20 in the McNair Science Building auditorium on the FMU campus.

 The pageant featured men from seven FMU fraternities in “jeans and jersey,” beach wear, and formal wear competitions. The event is a fund-raiser and 80 percent of the proceeds will go to the Pee Dee Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Assault, with the remaining 20 percent going to Prevent Child Abuse America (PCAA) for nationwide public awareness programs.

Founded in 1897, Kappa Delta Sorority began supporting PCAA in 1981. More than $4.5 million has been raised nationwide through the sorority to benefit child-abuse prevention efforts.
