WASHINGTON, DC, May 26, 2005 - The Society of Recovering Sorority Girls (RSG) achieved a 60 percent increase in prom dress donations compared with last year for the Arlington School District’s “Formals for Five” program.  RSG founders Kristina “Morgan” Rose and Deandra “Brooksie” Brooks commend the philanthropic spirit of recovering sorority girls everywhere and are pleased to announce the results of their second annual “Project Cinderella,”  a formal dress donation drive that provides high school girls in need with a dress to wear to their school’s prom. 

For the past two years, the Society of Recovering Sorority Girls has  partnered with Arlington, Virginia public schools and donated dresses for the school district’s popular “Formals for Five” program.  After issuing a national challenge via their website, www.recoveringsororitygirls.com, Morgan and Brooksie saw a 60 percent increase in donations from recovering sorority girls this year.  

“It was great to see recovering sorority girls everywhere embrace their philanthropic spirit,” said Morgan.  “This year’s donations show that our members responded with quantity and quality.”

 “This year the dresses literally came from coast to coast,” added Brooksie.  “We have to give a special thank you to our donors from San Diego, California, who provided 9 dresses to the Arlington project.”

Morgan and Brooksie have been touched by the media interest in the project and note that interest has come from the local area and from locations as far away as Jackson, Tennessee. 

“We attribute the strong interest in this project to the fact that it involves young people,” stated Morgan.  “Who doesn’t want to play Fairy Godmother to a girl at prom time?”  she asked. 

Based on the level of interest outside the D.C. area, Morgan and Brooksie urge recovering sorority girls outside of D.C. to contact them via their website for advice on setting up new Project Cinderellas in their own areas. 

“We would love to build this philanthropic endeavor into several local projects,” stated Brooksie.  “Prom 2005 may be almost over, but it’s not too early to think about launching a project for Prom 2006.”
