Greek Row Prayer Walk offers praise, pleas for unity
W 082417 PRAYER WALK 02
Sophomore Kyndal Harp, 19, of Macon reads one of the prayers on the luminaries that lined the street during Thursday's Prayer Walk hosted by Georgia Southern University sororities on Greek Row.
Hundreds of college students put aside studying, or perhaps partying, Thursday evening to gather on Greek Row at Georgia Southern University for the second annual Prayer Walk many cited as an example of what they hope the community and country can do in the wake of much turmoil and divisiveness. One student said, “It doesn’t matter what Greek letters you have on your shirt or if you’re not part of the Greek community – we’re laying down our differences and coming together as one.” While open to anyone in the community, the prayer walk involved mostly college students, but many in the large crowd of participants obviously were above the age-range of a typical student.
