Tri-Sigma Fashion Show Sets a New Fashion Standard Samamtha Stirmel Staff Reporter The Tri-Sigma Fashion Show this year had a wide variety of participants that were all extremely eager to raise money and support the March of Dimes Foundation. The main showcase was a tribute video near the end for the foundation and the history of what funds have already done in the world. The video elaborated on how funds donated to March of Dimes have directly affected every student on the Embry-Riddle campus. Some noteable stars that stole the show at the event were the Tri-Sigma dance crew, Purple Rain, The Jackson 5, and ‘firefighters’ from the Emergency Response Team! All of the main groups were asked questions about either the Sigma’s values or their motivation to participate in the show. The answers given showed the deep bond inside the Greek Life community that showed a from passion for the cause to the kind of women that are in Tri-Sigma. The Tri-Sigma girls stunned in their preformance with a coreographed dance that spanned several songs and gave plenty of opportunities for the girls to show off their moves. Meanwhile, the men of Greek Life came in with full crews dressed to the 9’s. The enthusiasm on the stage and in the audience this year was palpable and continued even during the couple stalling sessions by the MC’s. It is important to note that Tri-Sigma focuses on several organizations that all work towards female empowerment and helping children across the world. One of which is the Robbie Page Memorial fund which is in honor of the fourth National Tri-Sigma Chapter President whose son died of polio. Proceeds pursue the goal of finding new therapy options that help children struggling with understanding what they are going through while they are being treated for illnesses. Tri-Sigma Meagan Carpintero commented to The Avion Newspaper that the Halloween Fashion Show is one of her “favorite [events] because it combines my love of Halloween, my love for my sisters, and my love for helping children.”
