PTK members wear socks for a cause
Members of Enterprise State Community College’s Phi Theta Kappa recently wore their brightest socks as part of World Down Syndrome Day, which celebrates those living with Down syndrome. According to the National Down Syndrome Society, the idea of wearing crazy socks to raise awareness for Down syndrome created a campaign called “Rock Your Socks,” named because chromosomes are similar in shape to socks. Down syndrome is caused by the presence of an extra chromosome. People around the world wear their brightest, or most patterned, socks and share pictures with others on social media.
