IEEE Chili Cook-Off

At the University of Houston, every Spring semester, the College of Engineering's IEEE chapter holds a Chili Cook-off. As per usual, Phi Sigma participated in this very popular and fun event. One of our sisters, Kisika, made the chili for our group. The chili, I might add, that secured us second place at the event! We used this event as an opportunity to socialize, fund-raise and publicize our sisterhood.

We all had an amazing time and hope to see there next year!

Houston SPCA Philanthropy

Starting last semester we formed a team to raise money for the Houston SPCA to help them help Houston's homeless and neglected animals find loving forever homes. This past weekend on March 5, 2011 we participated in the Houston SPCA's Mutt Strut and Runway Race at Bush Intercontinental Airport. We walked with our furry friends on one of the runways along with others who raised money. The weather was not ideal, it was cold and rainy, but we still managed to go through with the walk and have some fun too. Carmel and Elizabeth both participated in the 5K run, but because of the weather the run was turned into a half mile sprint, and a big congratulations goes out to Carmel for winning the girls division of the race. After the run and the walk, awards were handed out to the winners of the race and for the dog costume contest, the tail wagging contest and the best kiss contest. We managed to raise $385 for the Houston SPCA, so thank you to everyone who donated on our behalf.
