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.
