Annually, the Irresistible Iota Alpha chapter of Sigma Lambda Gamma National Sorority, Inc., host a 5K Breast Cancer Walk/Run entitled G.A.M.M.A.S (Greek Angles Making Miracles Amongst Society). The walk this year was held on March 22, 2009, on the campus of Florida State University and was held in memory of our President’s Mother, Jacqueline Torres, who passed away from breast cancer this past November. Our earnings from the walk this year exceeded $2000 in sponsorships, donations, and participants and all of the funds were donated to Breast Treatment Task Force (B.T.T.F.) a group that helps women who are financially indigent. Our success was captured by news stations in Florida and can be viewed at http://www.wtxl.tv/global/story.asp?s=10054321.
Also, the Irresistible Iota Alpha chapter won Most Improved Chapter at our campus Greek Awards night and our very own alum Stephanie “Dimensions” Christian was inducted into the newly created Greek Hall of Fame, highlighting her achievements as an undergraduate and alumna.
