Honorary & Professional Organization
About Our Organization
The Purple Thread promotes domestic violence awareness on campus, founded by a former student, after a personal experience wth domestic violence.
What we do: Hold events, fundraise, collaborate with other groups on campus, and spread awareness about domestic violence.
The Purple Thread sells bracelets around campus to raise funds for The Grace Smith House, a local women’s shelter. Our Purple bracelets are made in the Philippines by Threads of Hope.
Threads of Hope provides work for families, so they can stick together, avoid exploitation, and pursue education to set a new trajectory for their lives.

Meeting Times
Purplethread meetings will be generally held every other or next Tuesday nights around 9-9:30 p.m in the student river rooms or other rooms within the student center.
A general club meeting may include going over information included in a powerpoint, as well as events such as collaborating with other clubs/groups on campus, such as the Dance Ensemble or Active Minds here at Marist. We also plan to hold community service events in collaboration with the Grace Smith House, a woman’s shelter, and sell our bracelets in the champ breezeway as a fundraiser.
