5 years later, Faith Hedgepeth's death still has 'profound impact' on UNC campus

Faith Hedgepeth would have been a UNC graduate by now. Many of her classmates are no longer at the school, but her name is still spoken on campus. On Wednesday, her Native American sorority, Alpha Pi Omega, held a vigil in her memory. “It is important to make sure her name is out there and people don’t stop talking about it until her perpetrator is put behind bars.” (WRAL.com)
