There will be hot chocolate, cookies, and Hawkapella will be singing Christmas carols. All money raised will go directly to the Arthritis Foundation. On December 2nd the sisters will also be participating in the Jingle Bell Run and those proceeds also support Juvenile Arthritis as well as the entire foundation. 

3. Alpha Phi: Red Dress Gala

This Friday, November 11th, Alpha Phi will be hosting their annual Red Dress Gala, which is one of the biggest events held nationally for the chapter. The Red Dress Gala raises awareness and funds for cardiac care and every dollar raised at the gala is donated to the Alpha Phi Foundation for women’s cardiac awareness and research. This helps fund the Heart to Heart grant which also helps fund research and educational programs that support the improvement of women’s heart health.

4. Phi Sigma Sigma: Mother- Daughter Tea

On November 6th the sister of Phi Sigma Sigma held their Mother-Daughter tea. Each of the sisters invited their mothers to join them for tea to raise money for their local philanthropy, Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Foundation. There were raffle baskets, a balloon pop and everyone played Bingo! 

5. Sigma Sigma Sigma: 3rd Annual Run for Robbie

Run for Robbie is Sigma Sigma Sigma’s biggest philanthropy event of the year which took place on October 16th. All of the proceeds went to the Robbie Page Memorial Foundation to support child play therapy for children with terminal illnesses. It’s a really exciting event for the sorority because it is held off campus at the Philadelphia Zoo. This year was the third year Sigma Sigma Sigma hosted and they were able to raise $11,500. It is a 5k and walk that is open to anyone!
