When one mentions a beauty pageant, images of toddlers in tiaras, glitzy gowns and huge teased hair comes to mind. But what a pageant is really about is self-confidence, philanthropic endeavors and true talent. In April, one of our sisters, Katherine Pedroza, will be competing as Miss Delta Delta Delta in Sigma Pi's philanthropy CU Miss Greek.

The pageant, part of the annual Greek Week competition, is held on behalf of two wonderful organizations: Clinica Family Health Services and the Denver Tennyson Center. Helping low-income families have access to high quality health care, Clinica has helped countless families in the Denver area over the years. As the second philanthropic organization benefitted by Miss Greek, the Denver Tennyson Center provides treatment and education for abused, neglected or youth at risk. Last year, the brothers of Sigma Pi raised $59,784 and are looking to increase the donation this year.

As Miss Delta Delta Delta, Katherine is asking for the support of sisters, friends, family, alumni and the community to meet her fundraising goal of $9,000. Please donate on behalf of Katherine at the CU Miss Greek website.

For more information on Clinica or the Denver Tennyson Center, please visit their websites.

Delta Wild Wings

As a new year begins, the sisters of the Theta Beta Chapter of Delta Delta Delta are hard at work raising funds and volunteering their time for many philanthropic organizations. To continue the excellence that the chapter has shown on campus, as Theta Beta was awarded Philanthropy of the Year at Greek Awards in December, Philanthropy chairman, RHO GAMMA planned and executed our Spring philanthropy, Delta Wild Wings on March 3^rd, 2011. This fun-filled event boasted wing eating contests, trivia, games and music and raised over $2,500 dollars in support of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Local companies and restaurants supplied gift cards and prizes for the eating contests and trivia, showing Boulder's support for a great cause. Members of the Greek system as well as the greater Boulder community were guests in our home for the night and generously donated towards a great cause.

Planning the event was a challenge, from the logistics of ordering all the food to publicizing the event through early ticket sales and chalking, but it was worth the effort to help the children at St. Jude. “I thought that the turn out was great for a new philanthropy! I loved how people really got excited to play trivia and play all the games. As always, Delta sisters make philanthropy fun,” stated Alexandra Caropino, a junior at the University of Colorado and a Delta Delta Delta member. In addition to efforts to publicize the event, this year Theta Beta made an effort to push support for St. Jude to the forefront of the community's mind. Sales of plastic bracelets with the message “I Support St. Jude” and the date of our philanthropy were a huge hit around campus and allowed the sisters of Delta Delta Delta to share our love for our national philanthropy with the campus community. Delta Wild Wings was a huge success and we look forward to volunteering throughout the rest of the year.

Greek Awards 2011

In December 2010, the Panhellenic Greek men and women gathered together to celebrate the accomplishments of each chapter and the Greek Community as a whole. These Greek Awards are held annually and celebrate accomplishments in leadership, academics, philanthropy, risk management among other categories.

The sisters of Delta Delta Delta were honored to receive the award for Philanthropy of the Year as well being awarded a Senior Pillar for outstanding senior, Martina Macon.

Congratulations to all of the Panhellenic and IFC chapters in attendance! We look forward to another year of excellence within our Greek community!
